Customer Profile & Screen Popup

In CIM, a person approaching the contact center for a query through any channel is a Customer.  The schema of the Customer object is extendable so in addition to some predefined attributes, an administrator can also add more custom attributes based on their business needs. This helps to define what data each company would like to store for its customers. Customer attributes with the following data types can be defined:

...

When a customer call lands on Cisco Finesse, the CIM application automatically looks up the customer profile based on the ANI and pops up the right profile in front of the agent (if the customer already exists). If it does not find any matching record, it provides the agent can with the interface to create a new profile itself for the customer on call. 

...

Note
  • At a time, 100,000 customer records can be imported via CSV.
  • The bulk import operation should only be performed in off-peak hours. 
  • CIM currently only supports up to 50 custom attributes
  • Two customers with the same ANI/phone cannot exist. Each customer in CIM is supposed to have a unique Phone number. A phone number can be duplicated among all phone numbers of a single customer but cannot be duplicated across different customers. 
  • If a new customer record with a different name but with the same existing phone number is created, the existing customer profile will be overwritten/replaced with the new customer profile.

Interactions

CIM stores customer's interactions as they interact with the Cisco call center. This includes both IVR and , agent-based voice interactions. 

Therefore, each time when the customer calls in, the CIM agent gadget is automatically loaded with the customer's profile and its previous interaction history. At the end of the active call, the call is automatically linked to the already popped up customer profile. However, agents also have the capability to change the association and link the call to another, most appropriate customer if the need bebased on the conversation with the customer

This way, while dealing with the customer, agents become fully aware of the customer's recent interactions and see why and how repeatedly, the customer had called in the past.

...

Note
  • In the case of call transfer, the interaction context is not transferred yet. This also means that if the agent A has changed the link of the active interaction to a different customer based on his conversation with the customer, the Agent B to whom Agent A had transferred the call, won't be able to see the updated customer link. 
  • If an agent applies multiple wrap-ups during a call, the most recently applied wrap-up will be recorded at the end of the call.
  • At the moment, the application does not store any barge in, consult and silent monitoring call legs or activities as part of the customer interaction. However, it stores call conference, call transfer activities as part of the interaction.


Click-to-dial call

While viewing a customer's profile, agents can also initiate a call to the customer.
