This chapter covers the following topics:
Centers that use direct telephony integration can well accommodate more concurrent agents than those that use Oracle telephony applications such as Advanced Inbound Telephony. Without direct telephony integration, a typical customer care inbound call requires Advanced Inbound Telephony, Telephony Manager, and Universal Work Queue to handle agent login and the screen pop process. With direct telephony integration, the eBusiness Center form of Oracle TeleSales handles the login process, and a Java bean listens for screen pop events coming directly from an AST Java applet.
After login, direct integration user procedures are similar to those without it except that the former do not use Universal Work Queue and Oracle Telephony Manager. Also, direct telephony integration does not support the multiple interactions, including warm transfers, that are available with Oracle telephony applications.
Use this procedure to log in to an eBusiness Center window that has been enabled for direct telephony integration.
