Features and benefits

Routing and queue management

Webex Contact Center intelligently distributes calls across:

●      Teams and agents in multiple sites

●      Remote agents

Routing strategies can be created to leverage skill assignments at the team or agent level.

Agent availability and skill sets are accurately matched with customer priority, value, and needs. Agents are more productive, and customers are better served.

From a simple, user-friendly interface, supervisors can change routing strategies without knowing complex scripting languages. This allows customer organizations to maximize resources and respond quickly to changing conditions.

Modifications to routing strategies take effect immediately and can be applied to current calls in queue.

With Webex Contact Center, calls are queued in the cloud network, not on-premises based equipment. This approach provides substantial savings in telecom hardware, toll charges, and bandwidth. The ability to centrally manage contact center resources on a global level eliminates variances in queue times among sites and lowers administration expenses.

Routing type options

Webex Contact Center offers a full range routing options to serve a variety of contact center needs.

Webex Contact Center supports routing strategies that take into account the real-time nature of channels such as voice and chat. This allows administrators to define the number of simultaneous real-time interactions an agent, team, or site should be tasked with handling at any given time. Alternatively, agents, teams, or sites may be set to an “exclusive” routing status, whereby they are only accountable for one conversation at any time.

Routing options include:

Skills-based routing: This helps contact centers manage agent skill sets at a granular level to optimize call routing strategies. Agents can be assigned multiple skills and skill types based on their proficiencies. Agents’ skills can be defined as:

●      A proficiency score of 1 to 10

●      A “true” or “false” value

●      A predefined value

●      Free-form text

Longest available agent routing: Incoming contacts get directed to the agent who has been available for the longest time.

Capacity-based team routing: Allows routing of calls to phone numbers, without requiring agents to sign on to the system. This is effective when the people taking the call are not traditional call center agents or the calls may be answered by voicemail, answering machines, or hunt groups.

The capacity-based team does not have specific agents assigned to it, and the agents do not use the Webex Contact Center agent desktop. A capacity-based team might be used to represent a voice mailbox or an agent group that is not managed by the Webex Contact Center system. The capacity of such teams is determined by the capacity setting, which can be overwritten by team capacity strategies defined in the routing strategy module.

Global routing overrides can be applied to one or more entry points.

Call distribution

Call distribution configuration, management, and reporting is managed through the web-based Webex Contact Center flow builder. Access rights are restricted by user login, so customer administrators or supervisors can only manage the sites for which they are responsible.

Callers are provided with queue positions and expected wait times based on average speed of answer via a standard, complementary professional services-provided script.

Webex Contact Center offers the ability to prioritize call distribution based on agent skill set. The routing module in the dashboard allows users the ability to designate how calls are distributed to agents.

Call queues can cascade through groups made up of a single team or multiple teams and can include specific skill requirements. There is no hard limit to the number of skills that can be assigned to an agent.

Agents can be made automatically available after a call, go unavailable, or have a set break between calls.

Agents can be configured to have manual wrap-up time or auto wrap-up time:

●      In manual wrap-up, the agent receives a period of time determined by the administrator to complete their after-call wrap-up. This can be extended by the agent if the administrator enables this capability.

●      In auto wrap-up, the agent will be immediately available after the call. If the agent needs to go offline for a meeting, training, or lunch break, the agent can change his/her status to an idle state. No communications are routed to the agent in the idle state.

●      If an agent, for whatever reason, fails to answer a call routed to them, the call is immediately taken back and rerouted to another available agent (“Redirect on No Answer”, or RONA). To avoid sending additional calls to a non-responsive agent, the non-responding agent is put into an unavailable state and must toggle their status back to an active state to resume taking calls.

Flow builder

The Webex Contact Center flow builder provides a dragand- drop interface that allows business users to build custom voice contact flows on top of system-generated events (such as agent answer, transfer, hang up) as well as external third-party variables, allowing contacts to be handled with precise workflows and routing.

An intuitive drag-and-drop UI allows users to create, edit, and validate flows before publication.

The flow builder also supports Virtual Agent inclusion in the flow sequence to deflect routine or low complexity inquiries from live agents and route escalation based on understood caller intent.

Build flows dynamically using variables and our all-new expression tester, as well as pull in third-party data using the HTTP request activity.

Flow builder provides the ability to configure and use Call Associated Data (CAD) variables, transfer activity, and courtesy callbacks based on Place In Queue (PIQ) and Estimated Wait Time (EWT), while the caller hears music.

Enable common custom flow requests, including playing prompts, Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) / touchtone menus, digit collection, and courtesy callbacks based on Place In Queue (PIQ) and Estimated Wait Time (EWT), screen pops, music in queue, and triggers for feedback collection with Webex Experience Management.

Allow transfer activity in flow control to enable opt out of queue by transferring a call to a Directory Number (DN), with or without voicemail configured.

Provide agents with context upon answer with the ability to initiate screen pops from events.

The GoTo activity, flow chaining, allows for termination of a current flow and hand off a voice call to an entry point or another flow.

Call prioritization allows administrators to assign priority to inbound calls in a queue.

Disposition codes (wrap-up codes)

Administrators can create disposition codes (wrap-up codes) that can track the reason for a call’s end and the reason for agent inactivity (idle codes).

The idle reason codes can be for any non-contact-related agent activity. They allow supervisors to track agent availability in detail.

There are specific reports—called auxiliary code reports—that track idle codes and wrap-up codes.

Callback options

Webex Contact Center offers callback from queue functionality. When the queue reaches a specific predetermined point, callers can be offered the option to leave their phone number for a callback rather than waiting in queue.

Courtesy callback allows an organization’s administrator to configure a path for the caller by making them aware of the Estimated Wait Time (EWT) and opt for a call back, retaining their position in queue.

Agent desktop

Webex Contact Center features provide agents with an experience-focused, extensible agent desktop. The following features optimize agent efficiency and productivity:

Agent state timer and connected timer: The agent state timer displays the time that has elapsed since the agent is in the current state. If an agent is in an Idle state and switches between any other idle states, the timer displays the time spent in the current state, and the total time spent in all the idle states together. After the agent accepts a request, the connected timer displays the time that has elapsed since the request was accepted.

●      Multiple agents can edit and save Call Associated Data (CAD) variables with real-time updates.

●      Agents can make outbound calls when they are in the available state.

●      Agents can search by availability state.

Support for voice, email, social, and chat channels via an omnichannel task pane with state timers.

●      A badge in the task list pane indicates the number of unread chat and social messaging conversations.

●      Incoming requests appear either in the task list pane or in a popover flash for a few seconds before the agent state is changed to Redirect On No Answer (RONA).

●      Incoming call requests will not be delivered to agents in case of phone, device, or network failure. Incoming call requests are returned to the queue, and the agent state is changed to RONA. New requests will not be delivered to an agent who is in the RONA state.

●      The task pane allows agents to select to accept all tasks across multiple channels (chat, email, and social) at the same time, as well as allowing the agent to view unread digital channel messages and prioritize those for reply.

Identify agents for consult or transfer call: In the transfer request and consult request dialog boxes, a drop-down list displays the enterprise address book including names and phone numbers to more accurately select the appropriate contact.

Channel capacity: Agents can view the number of contacts that can be handled on each media channel at a given time.

Agent interaction history provides the ability for agents to view previous communications with a customer across all channels (voice, email, chat, and social).

Virtual Agent: A voice transcript widget is available for an agent to see previous chat bot interactions (optional).

Campaign call: Agents can review the customer’s contact information before making an outbound preview campaign call.

Notification settings: Agents can enable or disable desktop, silent, or sound notifications and can use a slider to adjust volume.

Toaster notifications: The agent desktop supports browser toaster notifications.

Screen-pop: The browser pops up on the agent desktop when an agent accepts the incoming call. The agent can view screen-pop details, either in a new tab or the screen pop tab of the Auxiliary Information pane, based on the screen-pop display settings.

Pause and resume recording: Agents can pause and resume recording of a call.

Desktop layout reset: Agents can reset a customized layout to the default desktop layout. Agents can also maximize and restore widgets to suit their personal preferences.

Sub-layout feature: Administrators can define nested desktop layouts, with finer control over widget placement and sizing.

Profile picture: Agents or administrators can add and update profile picture in user profiles.

Keyboard shortcuts: Agents can use keyboard shortcuts for specific desktop functionalities.

Switch to dark mode: Agents can enable or disable the dark background theme of the agent desktop.

Error report downloads: Agents can download error logs for administrators to use in troubleshooting

Agent sign out: Agents are notified when the supervisor signs out an agent from the agent desktop.

Install as an application: Agents can install the agent desktop as a desktop application.

Accessibility: The agent desktop supports features that improve accessibility for low-vision and vision-impaired users.

Agent performance statistics are available for agents to assess performance during the course of the day.

Administrator desktop layout and customization options.

Administrators can customize the agent desktop layout and assign it to a team. There are two types of desktop layouts:

●      Default layout: This system-generated desktop layout is available for all the teams.

●      Custom layout: Administrators can create layouts based on the requirements of specific teams and assign to one or more teams.

The custom layout allows an administrator to customize the following elements:

●      Title and logo

●      Third-party applications via iframe or web component-based desktop widgets

●      Drag-and-drop and widget resizing

●      Notification timer and maximum notification count

●      Icons, tabs, header, pages, page-level widgets, and custom widgets

●      Widgets, which can be defined to be persistent and be displayed on all pages of the agent desktop

When an agent signs in to the agent desktop, the desktop layout associated with the agent’s team is available to the agent. The agent can customize the desktop layout by using the drag-and-drop and resize features.

Localization

The agent desktop, management portal, and Analyzer user interfaces support localization in the following languages: Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

Remote agent support

Webex Contact Center uses existing endpoints for call delivery. These endpoints can be:

●      PSTN phones

●      Cell phones

With Webex Contact Center, all agents are essentially remote agents, and have the exact same capabilities regardless of endpoints. All Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) features work the same for all agents, whether they are local or remote and regardless of the telephony endpoint. Supervisors can monitor and record calls handled by agents, whether remote or in office. The only equipment required is:

●      A PC with a broadband connection

●      A supported browser

●      An addressable phone number

Built-in disaster recovery

Businesses can seamlessly redirect call center traffic during unexpected emergencies such as natural disasters, transport facility outages, or other power disruptions.

A phone, computer, and Internet connectivity are all the equipment agents need to be productive anywhere.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

The solution simplifies login and password management for agents and supervisors and allows them to log in just one time for access to all Webex Contact Center applications.

All Webex Contact Center applications are integrated with the default Webex Control Hub identity service. This allows partners and customer to SSO into any contact center application using their Control Hub credentials.

In addition to using the built-in identity service of Control Hub, a customer can redirect the authentication request to their organization’s common identity provider (IdP). This feature requires the IdP to confirm to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 with certain additional configuration requirements. A list of tested SSO IdPs and high-level steps to validate other IdP services is provided here.

Webex Control Hub

Webex Contact Center is integrated with Webex Control Hub to:

●      Provide a unified administration experience for all Webex collaboration services, including Meetings, Calling, Messaging, and Contact Center

●      Allows a simplified user onboarding experience for one or many Webex collaboration services through a single interface

●      Control entitlements, security, and compliance

For customer administrators, Webex Control Hub provides a web-based interface for:

●      Managing your organization

●      Managing your users

●      Assigning services

●      Onboarding and provisioning Webex Contact Center AI portfolio services

●      Managing connectors for services such as CRM integrations

●      Managing system connectivity to text / SMS and social channels

A service-specific administrator role allows users to restrict partner, external, and customer administrator access to contact center-specific administration actions only.

Flexible PSTN options (Cisco PSTN, Cisco Cloud Connected PSTN (CCP) or local gateway (LGW) can be easily added and provisioned via Webex Control Hub.

For partner administrators, Webex Control Hub is the central point for all provisioning and ordering services for end customers. In Webex Control Hub, you can:

●      Add new customer organizations as managed organizations for your partner organization

●      View all your customer organizations

●      Access customer organizations for administrative activities

●      The Service Details section available in the contact center settings in Webex Control Hub allows administrators to quickly identify platform-level configurations applicable to the customer organizations including country of operation, platform details, digital and voice channels, and telephony options

Webex Control Hub cross-launches into the Webex Contact Center Management Portal, providing ease of use through a single login.

Management Portal

The Webex Contact Center Management Portal provides administrators and supervisors with web-based tools for real-time, end-to-end management and administration of their contact centers. Users can:

●      Set up flexible routing strategies and call flows

●      Assign multi-skilled agent to queues

●      Set a Default Outdial ANI (Automatic Number Identification) for the contact center organization at the tenant level

●      Monitor performance in real time via dashboards and call monitoring

●      Access historical reporting and analytics to track customer trends

●      Agent state dashboard allows administrators and supervisors to log out inactive agents

Supervisory features (call monitoring, coaching, and barge-in)

Supervisory features, including monitoring, coaching, and barge-in, are Premium Agent license features.

Supervisors can use the real-time dashboard to view the latest contact and agent states.

A web-based dashboard provides a centralized point to manage and monitor calls and multimedia contacts. Supervisors have a real-time view of call volumes and agent activity across all sites, networks, and technologies. Call center managers have the tools and information to measure and manage distributed contact center operations in real time.

Queue status and contacts waiting in the queue are displayed on the supervisor interface in real time.

The call monitoring feature allows supervisors to access calls for the teams they manage and to listen in on conversations, either from the corporate network or through a remote dial-in connection. This can be done without the caller or agent knowing. The supervisor can coach or barge into the call at any time. If required, the supervisor can coach the agent on the conversation privately or create a three-way conference to join an ongoing conversation.

●      The call monitoring application supports several flexible options to provide the flexibility that supervisors need. Monitoring can be done on a continuous, one-time, or scheduled basis.

●      A combination of one or more queues, sites, teams, and agents can be provided to create a monitoring schedule or supervisors can choose to monitor a session in real time.

Supervisors also can change an agent’s skill profile in real time. This capability gives supervisors tactical tools to manage their agent teams and support contact center management objectives.

Call recording

The call recording module enables authorized users to record calls and create recording schedules.

The call recording application allows supervisors or administrators to decide the recording schedule for each queue.

●      Recording can be restricted at the site, team, and agent level and includes the flexibility of deciding whether all or only a percentage of total calls will be recorded.

●      The recording schedule also provides an option to allow agents to pause recording for a specific duration when sensitive information is to be shared.

The recording management feature is a jukeboxlike application that allows supervisors access to call recordings that can be filtered by queues, sites, teams, and agents.

●      This application also allows call recording to be tagged using business-specific labels that significantly reduces access times.

●      The application has an advanced search option that allows search of call recordings for CAD variables, call attributes such as Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS), Automatic Number Identification (ANI), session ID, recording duration, and custom attributes.

●      Agent updates are persisted to CAD variable values.

Users can choose between two different audio recording options: compliance call logging or percentage call recording.

Compliance call logging records all calls that are served by a given queue. This setting is useful for customers who require 100% recording for compliance purposes.

Percentage call recording enables customers to record a subset of their calls. This allows administrators to spot check call quality across the enterprise or perform targeted quality monitoring of certain agents, teams, or call center sites. Calls to be recorded can be:

●      Selected randomly by the system on a percentage basis.

●      Scheduled by time and/or day.

●      Based upon criteria such as the site, team, or agent to whom the call is routed.

Recordings are stored on the recordings portal that provides archival and retrieval of call recordings.

Call recordings may be stitched to a single file.

Administrators and supervisors can download recordings using an API.

Music on hold

Music and messaging are recorded and saved as a .wav file. This file is then uploaded to Webex Contact Center and is available for use in any queue configured on the platform.

New recordings can be uploaded from the web-based dashboard at any time and made available to callers in near-real time.

Digital Channels

Digital channels in Webex Contact Center including email, chat, SMS, and social messaging come with:

Business logic orchestration – the flow builder helps create extensive self-help and pre-treatment of contacts. Dozens of nodes offer capabilities like CRM integration, logic crunching and decision making, generic HTTP requests, screen pop and many more.

Bot Builder – a Natural Language Processing (NLP)/ Natural Language Understanding (NLU)-based bot building tool which integrates into business logic via a Q&A bot or a Task Bot.

Google Dialogflow integration into the flow builder is also supported.

Queueing and routing – the flow builder allows for granular queuing of contacts.

Routing capabilities range from simple Longest Available Agent to more complex Skills Based Routing with skill relaxation.

Webex Contact Center agent desktop – contact handling by agent in a true blended fashion. Allows multiple digital contacts to be handled in parallel. Additionally, they can leverage productivity improvement tools such as predefined response templates with variable replacement capability and trigger workflow, and Screen Pop to present customer pages.

Email channel capabilities

The subject line of emails is scanned for business-specific keywords to decide the skill group or queue to which they need to be routed. Initial pre-treatment flows can also determine routing based on information obtained from integrated business systems such as CRMs.

Once they are placed inside a queue, the work distribution engine assigns them to available agents based on the queuing algorithm selected in the system.

Upon accepting an email, a rich text editor opens up for agent to compose a response, or an agent can also simply send a quick plain text response.

Emails have reply, reply-to, or forward functionality to allow agents to engage other internal supporting teams.

Agent can transfer email messages to other queues (for instance upon misclassification or to a review queue).

The agents can respond to emails with a standard email response template with full visibility on the past interactions of that customer.

Organizations can mask Payment Card Information (PCI) and related information per the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

For email we offer integration with any email system. Emails can be preprocessed for various queuing options like key words in subject/body or some CRM dip. Once an email contact is routed to an agent, it opens a rich text editor for the agent to compose a response. An agent can handle up to 5 emails – reply, reply all, forward; edit the To/CC fields etc. Attachments are supported. There is an option to send a plain text quick response.

PCI service helps mask body text or drop attachments which contain sensitive card holder information as per the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

Chat channel capabilities

Customers may connect with an agent via a chat bubble on the customer website.

A chat history with Virtual Agents is provided in the same interface as the chat with a live agent for consistency of contact transfer.

Customers can fill out a form to provide initial information and a purpose or problem statement just after initiating the chat. This helps in queueing and routing decisions.

Chat interactions are assigned to an agent based on the configured routing strategy, for instance “longest available agent”.

Chats may be transferred to queues or other agents.

An agent can create a group chat (conference) with a second agent and a customer.

Webex Contact Center web chat capabilities include:

●      Secure chat

●      Routing treatment based on chat reasons and queue position

●      Self-serve chat template creation using an intuitive wizard

●      Branding of the chat bubble

●      Integration with Virtual Agent: Chat (bots) using the Webex native Bot Builder or Google Dialogflow, including use of intent from the bot for further routing to live agents and a transcription of interactions with the bot in the agent interface prior to transfer. This integration is via the flow builder.

●      Support for transfer of attachments and URLs in chat

●      Responding with configurable canned responses

●      Transfer to another agent or queue and conferencing with another agent

CRM integrations

Webex Contact Center has pre-built connectors for integration with several industry-leading CRM systems, including Salesforce, Zendesk, and Microsoft Dynamics.

Additionally, the Cisco Professional Services team can help deliver integration with other CRM applications as a custom paid professional services engagement.

As part of the integration, data about the customer and the context of the call is delivered to the agent in an automatic screen pop.

Webex Contact Center also logs the interaction within the CRM application to capture the inbound call. The integration enables click-to-dial from within the CRM applications, where the agent can click on a phone number to dial out to the customer. The out-dialed call is automatically logged against the record whose number has been dialed out.

The CRM connectors provide CTI integration between the Webex Contact Center ACD and the customer’s CRM tool. The toolset allows for:

●      Agent state control

●      Call control

Analyzer reporting and dashboards

At the core of the Analyzer is a cloud data service (the data repository), which stores customer interaction and agent activity records from Webex Contact Center. The repository can be updated on a real-time or periodic basis, depending on customer needs.

Gathering data from Webex Contact Center Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) contact center applications on a real-time or periodic basis, Analyzer creates integrated customer interaction and agent activity records for each customer engagement to provide operational metrics and business insights.

Analyzer can be used to segment, profile, and visualize data in contact center systems and identify key variables that affect contact center efficiency and agent productivity.

With these reporting tools customers can:

●      Create custom measures. Create new business metrics calculated using fields and measures from the Webex Contact Center IVR and ACD.

●      Determine what impacts business outcomes. Identify key variables that impact operational efficiency. Statistically pinpoint high-performing agent teams

●      Determine what and who delivers results. Analyze operational metrics and agent productivity and discover how to best optimize for performance.

Categorize performance data by:

●      Entry points

●      Queues

●      Agents

●      Sites

With an intuitive drag-and-drop user interface, users can segment, profile, table, and graph data into historical or real-time dashboards, performance reports, and derive insights.

Data from Webex Contact Center ACD, IVR, chat, email, and social interactions appear in a left-side panel. That data can then be dragged and dropped into a central canvas to create insights and visualizations in interactive tables, bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, and time motion charts.

Users can create ad-hoc reports by selecting the following:

●      Report elements on which they would like to report—teams, queues, sites, or entry points

●      Graph and table parameters to display

●      Specific timeframe for the data

Real-time reporting

Summary views provide a snapshot of real-time contact volumes, service levels, and abandon rates at each site and across the enterprise. This is available for all supported channels

Data parameters racked in real-time reports include:

●      Connected contacts, which are the current number of contacts that have been accepted by a remote site and have not terminated.

●      Queued contacts, which are the current number of contacts that have been connected to the Webex Contact Center service and are waiting to be answered.

●      This information allows for more efficient call routing and call distribution management. From this centralized management system, contact center managers have real-time control and visibility into call queuing and routing strategies and real-time monitoring.

●      This powerful dashboard can be customized to display customer-defined information for each site. This enables the customer to manage, monitor, and enforce service-level adherence for each site and for the enterprise. User-level privileges define access for multi-party management of the specific sites and teams.

The following data is available for display in real-time interval reports and in historical reports for all supported channels, including voice, chat, email, and social platforms:

●      Queue: the virtual team to which the data belongs.

●      Time: a period of time in 30-minute intervals, for which call activity is displayed.

●      Incoming calls: total number of calls received during the report interval.

●      Agent activity: total time an agent spends in each agent state.

●      Answered calls: number of calls accepted by a remote site.

●      Queued contacts per hour: number of contacts queued during the report interval.

●      Abandoned contacts: number of contacts abandoned during the report interval.

●      Completed contacts: total number of contacts in the system during the report interval; includes answered and abandoned calls.

●      Disconnected calls: total number of calls answered, then disconnected within the lost call threshold period.

●      Short calls: total number of calls terminated within the short call threshold without being distributed to a remote site (this metric is only for voice contacts).

●      Answer time: cumulative time between when contacts arrive at the Webex Contact Center service and when they were answered.

●      Talk / connected time: cumulative talk/connected time.

●      Queue time: cumulative time that contacts were queued, waiting to be routed to a remote site.

●      Abandoned time: cumulative amount of time contacts were in the system for longer than the short contacts threshold time, but terminated before being answered by an agent.

●      IVR time: cumulative amount of time calls were in the IVR system, waiting to be handled.

●      Percentage of answered contacts: number of answered contacts divided by the number of contacts that arrived, minus short calls (in case of voice), multiplied by 100. An answered contact is one that is accepted by a remote site and either disconnected within the lost call threshold, answered by an agent, or queued at the remote site during the report interval.

●      Average handle time: average handle time, calculated by dividing total connected time by the total number of contacts terminated during the report interval.

●      Average queued time: total amount of time that contacts were in queue waiting to be sent to a remote site, divided by the total number of contacts that were queued.

●      Average abandoned time: total amount of time that contacts were in the system before being abandoned, divided by the total number of contacts abandoned.

●      Average speed of answer: total answer time divided by total number of answered calls.

●      Service level: percentage of contacts answered within the predefined service level threshold provisioned for the virtual team.

●      Historical reports.

Historical call reports provide an omnichannel view of:

●      Weekly volume summaries

●      Default and user-defined reports

●      Call detail record views at different levels

●      Queue reports

●      Customizable graphs

●      Download capability

Contact call details are displayed for all calls and all legs of the call. The call detail record represents the complete life cycle of a caller. It tracks the history of the call from the time it arrived at the entry point, either as a new, external call or as a call transferred from another entry point or queue, until the call is terminated. When an agent transfers a call to another agent, a segment detail record is created for each leg of the call.

Historical agent reports provide:

●      Site, team, and agent reports

●      Performance summaries

●      Wrap-up and idle code reports

Webex Workforce Optimization (Webex WFO)

Webex Contact Center has an optional workforce optimization suite (Webex WFO) that provides three core functions:

See the Webex WFO data sheet for complete detail on the solution.

Webex WFO Workforce Management (WFM)

The workforce management solution offers contact center supervisors, agents, and staffing analysts the ability to dynamically manage agent schedules, forecast and plan staffing based on trends, and ensure adherence to schedules.

Key features include:

●      Dynamic scheduling: allows agents, supervisors, and staffing analysts to collaborate in creating a schedule that meets everyone’s needs.

●      Dynamic intra-day scheduling: enables last-minute scheduling changes.

●      Automated agent approval: for exceptions, time off, schedule offer/trade, and mentoring. Provides set workflows to automate approval, denial, wait listing, and manual handling.

●      Agent-initiated peer mentoring: when an agent submits a request and the peer accepts, there is an automated supervisor approval, and both agents’ schedules are updated.

●      Strategic planning and forecasting: allow users to forecast staffing needs based on trends.

●      Vacation and holiday planning.

Webex WFO Quality Management (QM)

Quality management helps customers measure agent efficiency and performance using tailored evaluation forms.

Key features include:

●      Multichannel quality evaluation: evaluate call, email, and chat interactions.

Outbound voice option

This option, with its combination of outbound dialing modes, complements the powerful inbound call-handling capability of Webex Contact Center.

Allocate agents to handle only inbound, only outbound, or both inbound and outbound contacts, offering an effective way to increase resource use.

Outbound campaigns

The outbound campaigns option improves agent productivity and the overall business performance of a contact center by letting agents spend more time talking to customers and less time trying to reach them.

The outbound campaigns add-on feature provides:

●      Outbound campaign management, including campaign chaining

●      Contact list management

●      Advanced contact strategies across multiple contact numbers

●      Automation with preview dialing

●      Compliance tools

List and campaign management capabilities:

●      The outbound campaigns add-on provides powerful, yet flexible contact list and campaign management capabilities. This allows contact center managers to focus on their customer engagement strategy instead of spending time maintaining lists.

●      There are flexible options to upload outbound calling lists into the campaign manager. This can be done by uploading flat files or integrating with customer databases or third-party data sources.

●      These imported outbound lists can then be segmented using business rules-driven filters to be consumed by various outbound campaigns. Administrators can make real-time adjustments to the lists based on campaign performance or a shift in business strategy.

●      At the contact level, businesses can prioritize the sequence of phone numbers to be dialed for a contact based on their individual preference.

Campaign runtime strategies: the campaign manager feature supports different management strategies for outbound campaigns, including:

●      Dialing rules

●      Schedule-based campaign runtime automation

●      Ability to switch across contact points based on outcome

●      Contact-specific retry strategy

Telephony dialing modes: The outbound campaign function supports preview dialing mode, whereby, at the end of a call, agents see the next call in the list. They review the contact record and decide when to make the call or skip to the next name on the list. This is ideal for sales where the agent needs to conduct research between calls to increase the chance of a successful sale.

Figure 3 illustrates the telephony preview dialing mode.

Preview dialing

Compliance tools: The outbound campaigns feature provides tools to ensure that outbound campaigns stay compliant with industry regulations.

●      For the United States, it has superior Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) compliance tools, which include checking do-not-call lists at the federal, enterprise, and/or campaign level and manual dial-out options to contacts who have not provided prior express written consent (PEWC).

●      It also maintains compliance with state laws around calling, such as time-zone-specific calling windows.

●      In the United Kingdom, the compliance tool helps ensure adherence to Ofcom’s (the UK’s communications regulator) outbound calling rules. The tools allow administrators to set communication thresholds and retry strategies for each contact number.

Outbound reports: The outbound campaigns feature includes real-time and historical reports, allowing you to review the status of your campaign as it occurs, and look back to see what worked and what didn’t across past campaigns.

Real-time reports include:

●      Contact versus agent availability

●      Contact status

●      Contact success ratio by campaign
