Overview of our November 2017 iSeries release and updates

Functionality supported on this interface includes the ability to trigger outbound calls, receive call alerts, answer inbound calls and extended operations, such as line seize and barge.

Release benefits

Increased productivity

  • Dialling from the application - Saves time spent looking up information and manually dialling clients.
  • Simplified call handling for call transfer - Hold from the application can increase user productivity, rather than physically interacting with their device.
  • Increased collaboration within departments - Traders can efficiently transfer, hold and barge active calls from within business applications, without touching their devices. Allowing faster interaction within teams - in a highly efficient manner.

Enhanced caller experience

  • Fully implemented CTI with CRM system allows clients to see the caller's name prior to answering the call, offering a more personalised experience. Call data can also be passed to the CRM reducing the need to repeat information, beneficial to both trader and caller.
  • Access call information - Call information can be “screen popped” at appropriate times to users, an example could be matching an incoming call to contact information on clients' CRM and automatically displaying the matching record.

Business benefits derived from the iSeries CTI Service

  • Lower development costs via the development-oriented interface API
  • Standard protocols and connectivity types simplify infrastructure and reduce costs.
