Keep your telephony with Open CCaaS

Most CCaaS solutions are built around the telephony channel. You’re required to use the ACD that comes with the platform, no matter what. Verint takes a different approach:

  • Why go through the effort of ripping out your telephony infrastructure if it is still working?
  • What happens if you acquire a company with a different telephony system?

With Verint, if your existing telephony still works for you, keep using it! Verint supports any ACD system, and even allows you to use multiple ACDs across the organization.

Four Challenges of a Telephony-First Approach to CCaaS

“Instead of starting with telephony and interaction routing, many organizations have adopted a more flexible, “bring your own telephony” approach more aligned with advanced cloud communication offerings. When the core routing system is de-emphasized, an organization is freer to weigh the merits of different business application platforms as the first priority.”

What is an open approach to CCaaS?

Most CCaaS solutions are all-in-one packages that require you to completely replace your infrastructure. Verint’s open approach is fundamentally different:

  • Flexible: Keep the existing solutions that work for you, in the cloud or on-premises. Don’t throw away your ACD or CRM just because you are switching platforms.
  • Modular: Pick and choose what parts of the platform you want to deploy first and see AI Business Outcomes Now. Don’t wait through a risky and disruptive rip and replace project.
  • Future Proof: AI is evolving at a rapid pace. Continue to use new AI models from any source so your platform will not become outdated.
