• "In today's competitive environment, companies need to create lasting customer experiences that drive business results in their contact center," said Paul Jarman, inContact CEO. "inContact Agent for Salesforce enhances agent performance by enabling them to handle omnichannel interactions, while skills-based routing ensures they receive the contacts they are best qualified to handle, regardless of channel. This ultimately helps companies achieve their business goals."
• "Companies are looking to transform the way they connect with customers, partners and employees to thrive in the age of the customer," said Todd Surdey, SVP, Partner Business Solutions & Sales, Salesforce. "By leveraging the power of the Salesforce App Cloud, inContact provides customers with an exciting new way to enhance agent performance."

inContact Agent for Salesforce Key Features
The latest cloud offering of the Agent for Salesforce (v5.0) is built on the Salesforce App Cloud and is a native Salesforce application, which makes deployment simple and effortless. Full support for omnichannel interactions includes advanced skills-based routing for inbound and outbound voice, voicemail, email, chat, work item and social media interactions.

Superior email handling options in the new inContact Agent for Salesforce v5.0 interface include a personal email inbox and the ability to park emails. You can give your agents as little or as much authority on email handling as appropriate for your environment.

Chat handling improvements that enable agents to see what the customer is typing even before they submit a post, in conjunction with access to customer data synchronized with each incoming contact allow agents to be even more proactive in personalizing each interaction, and reduce customer frustration and abandons. Agents gain greater productivity with the ability to fully focus on the customer interaction through synchronized presence integration with Salesforce. And where needed to increase First Contact Resolution, reaching out to subject matter experts is easy with click-to-call and click-to-email from an integrated Dynamic Address Book.
