Genesys Business Communications

Companies are tired of dealing with the complex maze of separate communications solutions that require more resources to deploy and maintain, increase cost of ownership, and leave the business without a good way of collaborating across teams. Customers and employees are too important to just maintain the status quo.

Consolidate multiple systems to a single, reliable platform for both contact center and business users. With a unified platform, enterprises can seamlessly connect with customers, partners and teams anywhere. Enjoy fast deployment, simplified administration, improved efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership.

Companies want to reduce complexity, simplify administration, improve efficiency, and reduce total cost of ownership. They need a single platform that empowers both contact center and business users. The combination of customer experience management and business communications gives customers a unified all-in-one solution.

Companies no longer want to deal with multiple cobbled-together communications solutions. These solutions require more resources to deploy and maintain, increase cost of ownership, and leave the business constantly context-switching without a good way to collaborate across teams and business units. Customers and employees are too important to just maintain the status quo.

With a unified platform, enterprises smartly connect departments, workgroups, contact centers, branch offices, and remote and mobile workers. The unified platform combines a contact center solution with traditional business telephony functionality, speech-enabled auto-attendant, and real-time collaboration features. For example, video conference, screen share, dynamic team chat, presence management, corporate directory, and document management.

In keeping with multi-modality requirements, companies must equip their employees, especially sales force and field organizations, with mobility-based applications that give them the same functionality as their in-office counterparts. This functionality includes a company-wide directory with real-time presence and geolocation indicators, call controls and voicemail, find-me/follow-me, video and voice conferencing, ad hoc call recording, and unified messaging. Employees must also have access to contacts and communications from anywhere, on any device—including native mobile applications. Selecting a unified platform that supports traditional and digital communication capabilities can bridge the gap between the contact center and the rest of the business, and become a competitive advantage.

This use case offers basic PBX functionality, together with rich collaboration features. Features include:

• IP PBX call processing
• Auto-attendant
• Desktop phone features
• WebRTC softphone
• Real-time presence management
• On-demand call recording
• Voice and video conferencing
• Screen- and file-share
• Corporate and workgroup directories
• Instant messaging
• Voicemail and unified messaging
• Document management
• Multilingual support

This complete functionality is built into the Genesys Cloud CX Communicate license, available as low as $19.99 per user per month (with annual prepay). Genesys Cloud CX Communicate complements the contact center sales: lead with contact center and evaluate back-office opportunity for business users.

3. The ACD agent can perform a warm-transfer to the SME.
