2. A Contact Center Leverages APIs to Integrate with other Services
APIs can be thought of as a software interface that defines a methodology of communication between computer programs. APIs allow software developers to enable deep interaction and integration between two software entities. By making information about the API publicly available, other software developers can enable interaction between their own software and that of third parties.

Practically, this means that an API-enabled contact center can interact with various business applications including customer resource management (CRM) platforms such as SalesForce, or helpdesk ticketing software such as Zendesk. In such cases, an incoming caller need not spend the time explaining who they are, what products or services they subscribe to, and what their problem or query is. Integrated CRM and helpdesk platforms will immediately inform the agent on their computer screen about the detailed history of the caller, making the time to resolution per call much shorter. More on these enhancements shortly.

API integrations can korea telegram be quick and superficial or can be deep and involved. They can use preconfigured functionality or can be developed by an in-house or hired software development team. Their customizability and parameterization are unlimited and depend completely upon the desired functionality. Note that uContact enables the integration of 3rd party solution or application using APIs to enhance its operation.

Using these APIs as well as natively available functionality, contact center agents can receive a very rich amount of information on their screens that allows them to quickly serve callers. Customer details, call history, and related helpdesk tickets are just some of the information that can dynamically be presented to agents when a call comes in. This can be done either via the caller’s caller ID or via some identification number the user is prompted to provide while calling in.

In addition, a single agent can respond to multiple channels of communication, via their contact center software. Email, voice, video, and text messages can all be responded to from a single interface, in succession, allowing an agent to manage their own time in responding to customers via these multiple channels.

4. A Contact Center Delivers Agent Mobility
Unlike a legacy call center, where operators were tied to their telephones, modern contact centers allow agents to perform their duties from anywhere where there is a reliable internet connection. Contact center agent software is typically installed on a PC or laptop computer, via which all communication takes place. Agents may also have multiple instances of their agent software installed on their desktop, laptop, and mobile device, allowing them to respond from any device they choose. This gives agents a more fluid and flexible way of performing their jobs.
