New contact types

Agent Desktop supports Short Message Service text messaging, fax messages, voice mail messages, and scanned documents.

Short Message Service (SMS) text messaging is a standardized communications protocol for the exchange of short text messages between SMS-enabled devices. SMS text messages from customers are forwarded by an SMS gateway to an e-mail address within the contact center. The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail Manager retrieves the SMS text message and queues it to the appropriate skillset.

Fax messages from customers are forwarded by a fax server to an e-mail address within the contact center. The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail Manager retrieves the fax attachment in TIFF format and queues it to the appropriate skillset.

Voice mail messages from customers are forwarded by a voice mail server to an e-mail address within the contact center. The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail Manager retrieves the voice mail attachment in WAV format and queues it to the appropriate skillset.

A scanned document is an electronic version of a printed page or document. Scanned documents from customers are forwarded by a document imaging server to an e-mail address within the contact center. From here, the Contact Center Multimedia E-mail Manager retrieves the scanned document attachment in TIFF format and queues it to the appropriate skillset.
