Concepts And Features

Interaction Workspace features a unified user interface (UI) that empowers contact-center employees to make their contact center truly dynamic by enabling them to respond in real time to real-time information from a wide variety of touch points and channels.

Benefits

Interaction Workspace enhances internal communications, user performance, and quality. Interaction Workspace features a privilege-driven flow of information based on roles that you assign to your agents.

Note: The functionality that is assigned to agents through their defined role determines the footprint of the Interaction Workspace application that is downloaded to their workstation. Agents who have simple roles assigned to them do not require as much space for the application as agents whose roles contain many privileges.
