Cisco Sprucing Up Call Centers With Social Media

Social media technologies have been reshaping the way IT approaches many lines of business, so why should call centers be any different? Cisco sees a natural home for social technologies such as video-enabled customer care in its call center portfolio, which the networking giant is in the process of overhauling, with plans for a formal release in November.

At that time, Cisco will formally unveil a litany of new social media features layered onto the product suite it acquired from GeoTel in 1999, dubbed the Unified Contact Center. eCRM Guide previews the release.
