Click to Dial: Click on phone numbers from within your CRM package and dial them without
having to touch your physical phone.
Inbound Screen Pop: When you receive a call from a number which is saved within the
CRM package contacts database, you will receive a screen pop / preview window with the contact / callers details.
Address book Syncronisation: Your CRM package contact information will be syncronised
to appear in the Address Book feature of the BT Quantum Unified Communicator.

Integration to a supported CRM Database –
Installation Options.
Installation options:
Integration to supported CRM database applications will be performed by BT. There are two options avaiable subject to the type and nature of the CRM databse application.
Option 1 : Remote Installation.
Customers can order a remote integration option on selected database applications whereby a BT Technician will connect to a users PC and perform the integration remotely via a
desktop share program.
Option 2: Onsite Installation.
For databases where a remote installation option is not available, an onsite installation and integration service can be performed by a BT Engineer.
For a current list of database applications and installation options please see section 4 or contact your local BT sales office.

What features does integration with a CRM
Database provide?
3.1 Click to Dial:
In order to speed up the process of dialling a contact from a CRM Database, the BT Quantum Unified Communicator allows you to click a phone number from within the CRM application directly and begin dialling it immediately, with no interaction between you and the phone required to initiate the call.
BT Quantum UC supports 3 methods of dialling – Clipboard, Internet or Application.
Clipboard Dialling allows users to highlight a contact telephone number by using the PC
mouse and when copied to the clipboard, the BT Quantum UC will allow users to dial the number directly.
Internet Dialling is where the CRM Database application is hosted and is effectively a web
page. By enabling the Internet dialling option, UC automatically scans all web pages and detects any telephone numbers on that page. Detection is confirmed when the number is underlined, and on clicking the number, UC will dial automatically.
Application Dialling is where UC can be mapped to all, or specific telephone numbers on a
contact page. When mapped, UC places a telephone icon adjacent to the mapped number . On clicking the phone icon the number will be dialled.
Example :
In the Sugar CRM example below, the BT Quantum Unified Communicator shows the
Application Dialling technique outlined above and places a phone icon adjacent to the
3.2 Inbound screen pop:
When an integration to a CRM Database is performed, the BT Quantum UC connects to the CRM Contact Database and uses this information to provide a preview of any incoming callers details.
When an incoming call is detected, the BT Quantum Unified Communicator will query the CRM database to check if the phone number of the individual calling exists.
In the event that a match is found, the callers details will be offered to the receiver via a discreet ‘Pop up’ or “Toast” window, allowing users to preview who is calling them and to decide if they do, or do not wish to answer the call.

In addition to the “Toast” window, if the User has the main BT Quantum UC window open, the callers details will also be replicated in the main window.
Both the ‘Preview’ and the ‘Main’ UC window will display the CRM Database icon and on clicking this the BTUC will “POP” the CRM Database contact page – therefore allowing users to view the contacts details and answer queries or gain access to further database records in a quick and easy manner.

3.3 Address book Syncronisation:
As with 3.2 above, when an integration to a CRM Database is performed, the BT Quantum UC connects to the users CRM Contact Database and replicates this information in the UC Address Book.
This allows users to search for CRM contacts when not using the CRM Database and allows them to dial or pop the crm Contact page by clicking the contact name or the telephone number listed within the query response to dial the contact as required.
