Unified CCX and IP IVR

Unified CCX and IP IVR

 

(FN 1) The upgrade is also supported from any of the Engineering Specials and Service Update (SU) versions of all the mentioned Unified CCX versions.

(FN 2) Unified CCX includes the co-resident Unified Intelligence Center and Finesse.

Solution Products and Components

 

 

(FN 1) For the Unified CM version that is supported, all the corresponding Service Update (SU) and Engineering Special (ES) releases are also supported.

(FN 2) Outbound Agent (Predictive and Progressive) and Outbound IVR are supported only on IOS versions that incorporate Call Progress Analysis. For information on Call Progress Analysis, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/tech_tech_notes_list.html.

(FN 3) CUBE is supported with the SIP Outbound Dialer and CPA; supported versions of CUBE are ISR Pi27 15.5(2), Pi28 15.5(3), Pi29 15.6(3), and Pi32 15.7(3).

(FN 4) Unified CCX Agent and IVR Outbound supports E1 R2 signaling on ISR Gateway 4451 with IOS version 15.5(3)S and later.

(FN 5) Desktop chat requires IM&P 12.5(1) and Unified CM 12.5(1).

(FN 6) SocialMiner has been renamed as Customer Collaboration Platform (CCP).

(FN 7) Minimum requirement is 11.5(SU4).

(FN 9) For more information about CSSM version 8, see the Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem Release

(FN 10) Transport Gateway is not supported in Unified CCX.

Webex Workforce Optimization Compatibility

 

Cisco Workforce Optimization Compatibility

Note: Cisco Workforce Optimization is End-of-Life as on August 1, 2020. For more information, refer to Cisco Unified Contact Center Express - End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization - Cisco.

 

(FN 1) Compliance Recording/Quality Management/Advanced Quality Management (CR/QM/AQM) are 32-bit applications.

■        Support for the application client operation on Windows 7 64-bit machines is through WoW64 emulator mode.

■       Desktop-based monitoring and recording is not supported in WoW64 mode.

(FN 2) Cisco QM has direct dependencies upon Cisco Unified Communications Manager for CTI and SIP events. Therefore, QM compatibility with Unified CM is limited to the current Unified CM version at the time of release and at least one prior version. Previous versions of QM are not generally updated for compatibility with new versions of Unified CM. Therefore, when you plan an upgrade, consult the appropriate QM Installation Guide for Unified CM compatibility. See footnote on individual QM versions to identify the Unified Communications Manager versions that are supported by that QM.

(FN 3) All associated Service Updates are supported with compatible versions of WFM.

Note: Cisco Workforce Optimization licenses are not supported with Smart Licensing. Consequently, customers who upgrade to 12.5 must continue with Classic Licensing if they want to continue using Cisco WFO. Alternatively, customers who want to move to Smart Licensing for Unified CCX must consider migrating to the SolutionsPlus version of Workforce Optimization.

Third Party Software

ASR and TTS

 

■      Latest version of the ASR-TTS packages recommended by Nuance can be used. See http://network.nuance.com/portal/server.pt . Using the latest Nuance packages will not impact the integration functionality between Unified CCX and Nuance until there is any major change by Nuance in the underlying design. However, customers must maintain the compatibility among different ASR-TTS packages as suggested by Nuance.

(FN 1) MRCP V2.0 is supported from Unified CCX Release 12.5(1).

(FN 2) This is a new versioning scheme. Nuance Enterprise Version 20.x is the continuation of Nuance Enterprise Version 7.x.

 

Export Unified Intelligence Center Reporting

 

Note: Office 365 does not support authenticated Excel report permalink.

Wallboard Reporting

Unified CCX supports wallboard reporting. Obtain the wallboard from a Cisco-approved vendor from Cisco Marketplace: https://marketplace.cisco.com/ .

Enterprise Database

 

 

(FN 1) Unified CCX does not support any views created on Oracle 19c.

Note: Unified CCX connection to external databases has been qualified only for non-encrypted connections and hence is not supported with encryption.

^{(FN 4)} Telepresence CE software does not support Transfer or Conference operations from Finesse.
^{(FN 5}) If Cisco Finesse IPPA agents use 78xx series phone, you must either disable the Cisco Finesse IPPA Inactivity Timeout feature or increase the timeout to be within the range of 120 seconds to one day (86400 seconds), so that the agent does not get logged out of Cisco Finesse IPPA even if the agent is on any other screen.
(FN 6) Cisco Finesse IP Phone Agent is not supported over Mobile and Remote Access (MRA).

Jabber:

■      MRA support for Jabber requires minimum Cisco Jabber version 12.5 and Expressway 12.5. If you have VPN split-tunneling configured, you can use Jabber with MRA and the Finesse desktop on the same client machine. See https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/anyconnect-secure-mobility-client/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html for Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client split-tunneling configuration.

■      If VPN split-tunneling is not available, you can run Jabber with MRA and the Finesse desktop after splitting them onto two clients.

■      A remote agent who runs Jabber with MRA on one client machine and the Finesse desktop with a VPN connection on a second client machine.

■      A remote agent who runs a Jabber softphone on a laptop that is connected over MRA and runs the Finesse desktop as a Xenapp thin client.

■      Jabber for VDI is not supported in Video Contact Center deployments.

For Cisco Jabber software compatibility details, see the Planning guide for Cisco Jabber at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/jabber-windows/products-installation-guides-list.html.

■      For Home Agent with Extend and Connect, set Jabber to Extend Mode so that the agents can select or edit the remote destination number.

Cisco Expressway

 

^{(FN 1)} For any caveats related to recording with Jabber, refer to the Mobile and Remote Access Through Cisco Expressway Deployment Guide. See, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/expressway-series/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html.

Platform

 

Supported Languages

 

(FN 1) Finesse IPPA supports all languages currently supported by Finesse if the phones support UTF.
