Siebel CRM: CTI Telephony Toolbar
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX), Enterprise (UCCE or PCCE), Freeswitch, FusionPBX
Integration between Contact Center and Oracle Siebel CRM
The embedded CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) Connector provides call and agent state controls within the Siebel Communication Toolbar, eliminating the need for agents to switch between applications.
This third-party CTI link happens at the server level between Siebel Communications Server and Finesse Server, so no component needs to be installed/ configured on the agent’s side.
Customer information screen-pop
Any customer information in such as ANI, DNIS, and ECC variables can be used to pop up a customer profile.
1. Screen pop with incoming call.
2. Show multiple customers mapping a callerID or variable set from ICM.
3. Show customer details information if callerID or variable.
Oracle Siebel gadget for Cisco Finesse

Email and Chat
Handle non-voice channels (chat, email etc.) from within the CRM interface via CTI Toolbar by leverage on Expertflow's Chat Engine or the CCX Mediarouting Engine.

- Accept an incoming call
