Synchrony 7.4 Supports IBM WebSphere and Multi-channel Vendor Interaction Integrations

CHICAGO, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Cincom Systems announces the latest release of Cincom Synchrony, its award-winning unified agent desktop solution. Synchrony 7.4 includes support for the IBM WebSphere Application Server Platform, allowing organizations to benefit from IBM's SOA platform within Synchrony.

Also new in this release is Synchrony OpenCIM - a component that easily synchs with third-party customer interaction management (CIM) solutions from vendors such as Genesys, Cisco, and Avaya.

"We're seeing more and more customers who, due to acquisitions or other business evolution circumstances, have several contact centers with separate Interaction Management (IM) systems. The queues from these IM systems are dedicated, or more accurately, restricted to only those agents connected to a particular system. This organizational inefficiency results in the inability to transfer calls between queues. Cincom Synchrony 7.4 can bring these systems together," said Trent Fulcher, program director, Cincom Customer Experience and Contact Center Solutions.
