Using Process to Protect your Most Valuable 
Resources 

Genesys UC Connect for IBM Sametime “subscribes” to presence 

provided by IBM Sametime to determine the availability or location of 
experts, and back office and branch office workers.  Rather than displaying 
available enterprise resources to contact center agents by name, Genesys 
software abstracts these resources’ identities into skill sets.  This prevents 
agents from becoming dependent on particular experts. Genesys routing 
can then forward inquiries, along with pertinent “attached data/call 
context,” to available experts based on business rules. The use of routing 
logic ensures that inclusion of highly paid information workers into the 
customer service operation is both effective and sustainable.
