CISconn - Connector for mySAP™ CRM and Cisco UCC Express
Supported Platforms: mySAP™ CRM and Cisco UCC Express

By implementing CISconn a company can achieve significant productivity gains and improvements in quality of service. CISconn enables agents to use mySAP™ CRM as their single user interface and can greatly improve call management in the IVR including caller identification, call routing on business data, screen pre-population, agent status management and much more.

CISconn is a middleware solution running on a dedicated server that resides between UCC Express and mySAP™.

From the SAP side CISconn acts as a standard SAPphone ™ CTI interface and communicates with the SAP CIC module via RFC protocol. Agents have full call control and manage their UCC Express status from the SAP GUI (or the IP phone).

On the UCC Express side CISconn provides custom JAVA classes to enable communication from IVR scripts utilizing XML-RPC and JTAPI – through Cisco CallManager – for call and agent status control. Information from UCC Express, like agent state changes or custom data queries, is passed in real-time to the CISconn Server and on to the SAP application.

Flexible configuration allows low-cost HW implementation for non-production environments so many virtual CISconn Servers can run on one platform, communicating to one UCC Express system on one end, and connect to their individual SAP instances on the other. More than 120 concurrent calls can be handled by either logically clustering agents with dedicated CISconn Server for each cluster or with SAP server sizing and load balancing.

KEY FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
  • Full CTI functionality from the SAP GUI – call control capabilities include: dial, answer, drop, hold, transfer, conference, and UCC Express login/logout with agent status management (ready/not ready)
  • Allows SAP data access from the IVR scripts – e.g. user identification/authentication based on SAP master data, simple queries and data entry to support self-service from the IVR
  • Allows collection and manages IVR activity info as call attached data (CAD) during the IVR session and not only passes it to the Agent's SAP GUI but can carry it to the next agent with a call transfer
  • All call control and UCC Express status management remains unhindered from the Cisco IP Phone and Agent Desktop
  • Enterprise application management support – easy to use administration utility, logging, and advanced failover support with auto-connect feature to standby SAP and UCC Express systems

SOLUTIONS BENEFITS
  • Increased customer satisfaction – due to reduced wait time and faster service. Using IVR callers are automatically identified and the relevant data is available to the agent in SAP via pop-up windows
  • Increased agent productivity – average call duration is reduced due to better workflow automation, information flow and IVR activity visibility, and convenient click-to-dial feature from SAP
  • Single unified user interface, SAP GUI, creates increased efficiency, requires less training, and no additional applications (e.g. UCC Express Agent Desktop) are needed to access the phone functions
  • When a call is transferred between agents, all the SAP data is passed on with the call – thereby boosting agent efficiency, eliminating data re-entry/manual errors and avoiding customer inconvenience
  • Maximizes ROI for existing investments – CISconn enables companies to realize exceptional benefits and achieve a superior ROI on their costly mySAP™ CRM and Cisco UCC Express implementations
  • Supported SAP applications: mySAP ERP 4.6 or above, SAP CRM 3.0, 3.1, 4.0 or above, SAP ISU 4.6 4 and Cisco UCC Express 3.x, 4.0.x (premium with Cisco IP Phone Agent is required)
