Unified Communications in the Contact Center
(CC-01)

Tuesday - 09/01/09,  9:00-9:45am

In spite of all the attention given to enterprise unified communications (UC) in the last few years, an important component is often overlooked: the contact center.

This discussion will address the role that the contact center plays in a successful unified communications strategy, focusing on best practices for leveraging contact center and UC applications in tandem and how companies can make use of existing and next generation technologies to make this happen. Attend this session for a lively discussion on products, services and the state of the unified communications industry as it regards the contact center. This session is a must for anyone working on or planning to develop a UC strategy
