WxCC and why this cloud-based CC is everything you need.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a cloud-based solution, WxCC is a great choice for those looking to move from an outdated on-premises solution to a new, fast-paced, secure, and scalable cloud solution. Within our organization, we have moved from a complex structure involving Call Manager, Contact Center Express, Expressways, IP phones, and jabbers clients to a centralized administration hub and WxCC desktop web-based clients. The transition was smooth as we expected, and the adoption was seamless.

Pros

  • Cloud based Contact Center solution with many integrations possibilities.
  • Agents could use IP phones, web-based clients, and third-party SIP/CTI clients to connect with the WxCC and answer calls from the IVR.
  • The reports from Analyzer dashboard are extremely useful.

Cons

  • For those who work with programmability and API parsing, sometimes it can be challenging.
  • The Analyzer dashboard needs improvement, the UI works but is hard to navigate.
  • Troubleshooting aplications erros from CH is almost impossible, there is no place to insert the error code to try to understand the error message.

Return on Investment

  • Scalability, security and high availability.
  • Saving costs from managing local infrastructure, aka servers, routers, IP phones, cables, etc.
  • API integrations with others web-based applications.

Webex Contact Center Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've been doing Cisco Contact Center for many years. What WebEx Contact Center brings is a lot more API integrations a lot more ability to interact with a lot of other products. It also brings in digital channels for our customers, whether that's chat, whether that is of course voice, whether that is SMS, text messages, and stuff like that. The interaction and the ability to do multiple digital channels is really nice. From a cloud-based system or contact center solution, you can bring all those in emails. I guess another emails, digital channels coming in. So all of those are ability that one agent could be taking multiple of those things at one time. That's the really nice thing that WebEx Contact Center can bring that my previous experience in UCCX had limitations of what it can do.

Pros

  • The digital channels is one of those. I definitely think the digital channels stands out as a unique product. From a contact center agent standpoint, that when you've got customers, maybe retail customers or that stuff, it's a great fit for that. For anybody who really trying to deal with customers.

Cons

  • With the WebEx contact center cloud-based system, it really has no way right now to manage on-prem phones. I mean, it's now starting to get where we can get present status in the cloud-based phones where it can monitor so that, say for instance, an agent picks up their phone or goes, makes an outbound call just directly out without using the WebEx contact center app, it wouldn't know about that agent making that call. So technically they could receive another call coming in from the queue, which is a limitation, right? Now your agent's already talking and I've got another inbound call coming to me. We have an environment for customers that say it's a doctor's office and the gal that's taking the checkouts is also the one that's answering phones in the queue. Well, she may be working with somebody, she may make an outbound call to say, "Hey, you've got an appointment coming up," but while that's there, now you've got an inbound call coming from the queue. She has to manually go change her status. That presence status is being updated. I understand that that's kind of a work in progress in the product, but that's a limitation of that.
  • Same goes with reporting, right? If that outbound user picks up the phone and makes an outbound call, it's not going to get reported on unless we have some tie into those systems. And I know other cloud-based contact centers have the same challenges and I think Web RTC might be the solution for that, right? Using a web browser as your audio and mic and that stuff. But that's some of the challenges.

Return on Investment

  • For the customers I've gone through it it's been a big impact. I mean, I would say a big impact. It's been a little bit of an impact for them. I think as we continue to grow the products for them, I think that will be a bigger impact.
