Contact Manager
Cisco System's Intelligent Contact Manager (ICM) is a network-based
software platform that enhances the capacity and services of virtual
call centers (a call center that is spread over multiple physical
locations) by providing real-time call routing information. For
virtual call centers, Cisco ICM can decide where to route the
call based on type of call, time of day, information requested
by user, skill sets available at the call center, load at call
center, etc. When the call comes in at a particular call center
after pre-routing, Edify communicates with Peripheral Gateway
(PG) of the Cisco ICM so that the call status can be updated,
the load at the call center can be monitored and the ICM can instruct
Edify how to process the call further.
The Role of Axis
Cisco ICM integration has been a part of the Edify platform for
a while but did not support the full range of the ICM capabilities.
The job of Axis' developers was to upgrade the platform to include
support for the Extended Call Control variables and for the Service
Control Interface. This enhanced the communication between Edify
and the PG and extended the functionality of Edify in the ICM
context.
Project Details
The extension to the Cisco ICM integration of Edify was completely
designed and developed by Axis. Quality assurance was also performed
by Axis and completed using a PG simulator that the Axis team
developed as well as a connection to an ICM installed at the Cisco
headquarters in the USA. In addition Axis employees wrote a complete
user and maintenance guide for the Cisco ICM component of Edify.
Software Environment and Technologies
- TCP/IP for real time communication between Edify and the Cisco
ICM PG
- Object Oriented methodologies implemented in C++
- Multithreading
Project Size
- 3 developers for a total of 24 man months
