The embedded CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) Connector in the Oracle Siebel Communication Toolbar offers call and agent state controls, reducing the need for application switching. The third-party CTI link is established on the server level between Finesse Server, and Siebel Communications Server and does not require agent-side installation/configuration. The Expertflow solution provides controls for chat and digital channels and allows agents to receive phone calls directly through a WebRTC webphone within the CRM, without the need for a physical phone.
