Instant Messaging or “IM”, is the ability
to transfer text messages in real-time over the Internet
or a corporate network. It has spread from the consumer
arena to the workplace and is now gaining in importance
as a means of communication and collaboration –
not only within the enterprise but also with the enterprise’s
suppliers, customers, outsourcing vendors and other transaction
partners. IM is an important component connecting data,
platforms, processes and people to increase productivity
and save costs.
Acqueon iQ leverages all the advantages of instant messaging
using LCS, a Microsoft tool. This helps call centers to
look and think beyond the horizon.
Acqueon iQ has the following features built into its Chat
Media module:
