Key Differentiators
ComputerTalk’s ice Contact Center is a Lync qualifi ed all-in-one contact center that runs as a native part of the Lync topology. It enables organizations to bring Lync unifi ed communications to their contact centers, and to extend the power of contact center applications to the rest of the enterprise.
The market offers several Microsoft Lync contact center products, each claiming to deliver a solution that “leverages Lync”. ice goes beyond simply leveraging Lync to being fully embedded.
What is special about
being Lync embedded?
ice runs as a native UCMA application. For example, if you already have SIP trunking set up for Lync, ice can take advantage of the same SIP trunks. In the same token, Lync gateways, server pools, database clusters, and redundancy can also be utilized by ice.
If you have multiple sites confi gured in Lync with least cost routing, ice takes advantage of that. ice applications use Lync features including automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, video, audio record and playback, DTMF, call control, instant messaging, web chat and presence information display.

In addition, ice can route calls to any endpoint that Lync knows about, for example cellphones, landlines, and common area Lync phones. You can also route IM to public IM clients.
