Collaboration
Call Manager
Collaboration is Crossconnect’s oldest and most mature services offering. We’ve designed and supported installations as small as 30 users and as large as 10,000+ users. We support and sell a wide variety of products to fit the diverse needs of our clients, offering the full range of Cisco Collaboration technology as well as a wide variety of 3rd-party ecosystems partners. Most prominently our team of engineers have integrated Microsoft Teams with CUCM, allowing Microsoft Teams to operate as a softphone.
According to IHS, Cisco dominates the on-premises phone system market, with well over double the sales of the nearest competitor. As such, our clients can be confident that they’re receiving an industry standard platform that ensures:
- The highest possible interoperability with other vendor’s products
- Future-proofing of their platform
- A robust 3rd-party ecosystem
- Best in class scalability, stability and redundancy
Contact Center Express
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (“UCCX”) is the call center software for the Cisco collaboration platform. It delivers skill-based call routing for mid-market businesses, serving anywhere between a few agents up to 400 agents. What can it do for your business?
- Automatically distribute calls with conditional call routing, call-in-queue, and expected-wait-time messages
- Multichannel functionality to interact with customers in your desired manner, such as voice, email, web chat, and social media.
- Enhance your call center with features such as workforce management, advanced quality management, and database integration
Crossconnect has multiple engineers well-versed in
designing and building UCCX environments, and can provide 24/7 managed services for your mission critical contact center.
Expressway
Cisco Expressway provides a type of proxy between your network edge and the general internet. Common use cases include:
- Allowing the Cisco Jabber softphone to work off-network, without a VPN
- Allowing Hybrid Webex Teams (formerly Cisco Spark) integrations to Call Manager
- Allowing video endpoint traversal services, to allow diverse networks to speak H.264 compliant video streams
Crossconnect has performed dozens of Expressway installations in complex environments, and we’d love to show you how it can streamline your business communications.
WebEx Calling & WebEx Contact Center
Crossconnect is certified in both Webex Calling and Webex Contact Center. With Cisco’s Broadsoft acquisition, the Cisco Collaboration reach isn’t just on-premises any longer. Whether expanding an existing Call Manager into a hybrid cloud deployment, or starting fresh with an all-cloud install, Crossconnect has the experience to make it happen.
Crossconnect was one of the first Cisco providers to become Webex Contact Center (WCC) certified, and pioneered direct cloud-carrier options into WCC, even before it was supported. Our team of engineers can bring that pioneering spirit to your install, too.
8×8 Cloud Calling Solutions
8×8 is a leader in business voice, video, chat, and contact center. Crossconnect is an authorized partner for 8×8, as well as offering managed and professional services on their platform. As a Leader in the UCaaS Gartner Magic Quadrant it fits naturally in Crossconnect’s calling solutions.
8×8 offers voice integration with Microsoft Teams natively, so end users can retain their preferred Teams interface – desktop app, web app or the mobile app – to make and receive calls seamlessly via the 8×8 infrastructure with no other app to download, install or manage.
API Coding / SDx
Crossconnect engineers have written many commercial-grade applications and integrations into the Call Manager ecosystem APIs. Most notably, many of our recent efforts have been to expose what is traditionally a “superuser” function to admin staff, without actually having to grant superuser access to that person. In addition, our applications take a series of common tasks and assemble them to eliminate misconfiguration errors. Through this, we’re moving the needle in improving our clients’ system security.
From middle-ware or “shim” software applications to log parsers to pull out Call Manager CDR metrics, we’ve got it covered. What can we build for your business?

- Complex Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) integrations
