About the IU CIC/PureConnect service

PureConnect powered by CIC, formerly known as CIC and developed by Genesys, is a Voice over IP (VoIP) client engagement solution designed for high-volume call centers. CIC/PureConnect provides a broad set of features to help call centers deliver consistent client service, optimize their resources, and improve employee performance.

CIC/PureConnect provides:

  • Advanced call routing based on caller ID, DNIS (number dialed), location, time of day, and agent skills.
  • Live monitoring or recording for managing employee performance
  • Custom queue announcements
  • Detailed reporting
  • Advanced call features, such as ad hoc conference calls for up to five parties (no bridge required) and ad hoc or service-wide call recording, among others

UITS offers CIC/PureConnect as a service to Indiana University departments that need a comprehensive, multi-channel call center solution.

You can access IU's service using Windows desktop software, a browser-based web client (recommended for macOS users), a virtualized client (available via IUanyWare), the CIC/PureConnect SIP Soft Phone application, or a Polycom VVX business media phone:

  • Windows desktop software: To install CIC/PureConnect's Interaction Client Business Manager (ICBM) and Interaction Administrator, see How to install CIC User Client.
  • Web client: For geographically remote agents and macOS users, UITS recommends the web client. The web client is missing some of the advanced options found in the Windows client, but users authorized to access CIC/PureConnect can use the web client from any internet-connected computer.
  • SIP Soft Phone The CIC/PureConnect SIP Soft Phone application lets you place and control calls from your Windows desktop.
  • Polycom VVX business media phone: CIC/PureConnect natively supports a variety of Polycom business media phones. UITS recommends the Polycom VVX 500; see Polycom's Quick User Guide.
