Product Overview

Cisco® Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on fixed and mobile networks, delivering a media-rich collaboration experience across business, government agency, and institutional workspaces. These applications use the network as the platform to enhance comparative advantage by accelerating decision time and reducing transaction time. The security, resilience, and scalability of the network enables users in any workspace to easily connect every time, everywhere, so everyone is included, using any media, device, or operating system. Cisco Unified Communications is part of a comprehensive solution that includes network infrastructure, security, wireless, management applications, lifecycle services, flexible deployment and outsourced management options, and third-party applications.
Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) delivers voice and video self-service that are in a class of their own. Using Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal, organizations can provide intelligent, personalized self-service over the phone, allowing customers to efficiently retrieve the information they need from the contact center.
Customers can use touch-tone service or their own voice to request information with self-service, and, if live agent assistance is requested, Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal can transfer information given by the customer and the call itself to the agent, resulting in a smooth customer service experience. In addition, Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal can support video interactions, including self-service, queuing, and agent, across mobile devices and kiosks.
Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal can help eliminate the clunky, one-size-fits-all menu trees that can frustrate customers. It includes intelligent software that empowers enterprise contact centers to deliver more relevant and personalized voice applications that exceed customer expectations. Enhanced management and reporting software allows for centralized management of larger, distributed deployments and enhanced visibility of self-service performance against business metrics.
By combining the power of open standards with intelligent application development and management software, and by providing enhanced call control, platform management, and reporting services, Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal gives enterprises a high-performance solution for the contact center that can deliver world-class customer service and increase customer satisfaction and overall business profitability.
