Five9 UC Integration with Microsoft Teams
Overview
Customers today are more demanding than ever. They expect businesses to understand their needs, provide multiple communication options, and resolve their inquiries on the first contact. First Contact Resolution (FCR) is a key performance indicator (KPI) that directly impacts customer satisfaction (CSAT) and net promoter score (NPS). The Five9 Integration with Microsoft Teams enables Agent-Expert Consultation, connecting Five9 agents to Teams users. This integration allows agents to quickly identify subject matter experts, collaborate with them, and resolve customer issues efficiently.
Agent-Expert Consultation
The Five9 UC Integration with Teams connects Five9 agents with Teams users across the organisation. Agents can use a consolidated directory on their desktop to identify the right knowledge workers and subject matter experts.
Features:
- Consolidated Directory: Agents can view a directory of Teams users with presence status (available, busy, away, etc.).
- Department Identification: Teams users are categorised by department for quick access to the right expert.
- Click-to-Call: Agents can call, conference, or transfer calls to Teams users with ease.
Telephony Connect
The integration also supports Telephony Connect, enabling seamless call handling between Teams and the Five9 contact centre.
Features:
- Redirect calls to the contact centre or specific skill groups.
- Route toll-free calls to specialist workgroups outside the contact centre.
- Enable toll-free on-net calling, conferencing, and transfers.
