What is icePhone?
icePhone is a communication tool that enables agents to make calls and chats directly within the iceBar interface, eliminating the need to have a separate telephony platform.
Benefits
- Increase productivity with a unified interface – The ability to make calls and chats natively within iceBar reduces navigation between windows and simplifies the agent experience, allowing for increased productivity.
- Simplify communications – icePhone separates internal and external communications, allowing agents to easily keep track of all their interactions.
- Increase Microsoft Teams resiliency – icePhone can be used as a backup for Teams Direct Connect or PBX, meaning your contact center can continue providing its service when there is a telephony outage.
Use Cases
- Voice and/or chat – You can use icePhone in your contact center to place calls and/or send chat messages.
- Primary connectivity model – You can use icePhone if you don’t have existing phone infrastructure or if you’re looking to get rid of your PBX and are not interested in switching to Teams.
- Backup connectivity model – You can use icePhone as a backup during a Microsoft Teams or PSTN outage to ensure agents stay connected.
Demo
During the final part of the Slice of ice session, Christina demonstrated the following:
- Voice with iceBar for Desktop (This begins at the 5:30 mark in the video)
- IM with iceBar for Desktop (8:35)
- iceBar for Web (14:00)
