Tie your data into the routing of contacts, regardless of contact type. For example, customer status can be looked up upon receiving a call; Elite customers are queued with a higher priority or are routed to a skillset most appropriate for their recent call history. You can even route to the same agent they spoke with last time.

Web Collaboration –
Assist your customers by guiding them through your web site, keeping them engaged with your products and services.
Fax –
Queue faxes to agents capable of responding to fax requests, get reports on how long it is taking to respond to faxes, see in real-time how many faxes are waiting for response and how many agents are currently responding to faxes.
Outbound - Outbound Campaign Manager - Easy to Create – Easy to change.
Simply provide a list of customers who need to be contacted with their phone number and choose a skillset for the calls. Schedule or activate the campaign.
