When implementing and integrating Salesforce with a cloud contact center solution, it is imperative to get call center statistics available automatically in Salesforce.
Classic telephony solutions
Classic telephony solutions like Cisco or Avaya, don’t have the standard functionalities available to automatically load call statistics in your CRM solution. Instead, reporting on data like call length or agent activities, and combining these call center metrics with Customer Relationship Management data, typically requires a Datawarehouse integration. Only in DWH, all data from different systems is available to make that integrated reporting.
Statistics – Integrated
However, from a Salesforce perspective, it is much needed to have call center related statistics readily available. Cloud Contact Center solutions, like Amazon Connect, have standard integrations readily available. At regular intervals, call statistics get uploaded and so become readily available for reporting in Salesforce.
Like on any other data that is in Salesforce, you want to run reports against your call center data. An out-of-the-box report for Amazon Connect looks as follows:
