CTI software
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) is the advanced
technology that serves as the focal point of the working of modern call
centers. It integrates the organization's computer and telephone systems
and the facilitates effective applications to make every phone call, inbound
and outbound.
The Concept
Although the most widely-known CTI application is screen population or
screen pop, CTI is also used by other call center applications including:
- Quality Monitoring
- E-mail Management
- Predictive Dialing
- CRM
The CTI software is a rich set of phone software library routines that
enable the application programs to control the phone system. It helps
increase employee productivity, enhance customer service
and reduce costs by combining the capabilities
of phone system with the custom functionality of Windows, Unix
or Web applications. Data collected by the phone ACD (Automatic
Call Distribution) or IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
systems can be passed to the PC, Unix or Web applications through the
phone software.
Features of CTI Software
- Launch PC/WEB applications
- Specific PC, Unix or Web applications can be automatically launched
using the telephony software based upon data provided by your phone
system.
- Caller Identification
(Caller ID or ANI) - Information from the existing caller database appears
on-screen when the telephone rings and remains on the screen during
the call.
- Called Number Identification
(DNIS) - With each call, special campaign information can be displayed
from the application based upon the number dialed by the caller.
- Vital information
collected by the phone system from the caller can be passed to the application.
The CTI software manages this process and free agents to be more productive.
- Any phone number
can be pointed or clicked in the computer database or Softphone. The
telephone then dials the call - a must for maximizing the productivity
of outbound telemarketing or call center service desks.
- CTI software system
allows to generate real time reports and graphs. This important measuring
system helps you observe and control the performance of call center
and phone system with clear and meaningful displays. Graphs and charts
of operational statistics let you measure the effectiveness of each
user and campaign. Reports and graphs include both inbound and outbound
statistics.
Products of CTI Software
