Harmony is the acknowledged leader in providing Call Recording & Work Force Optimization solutions for contact centers,
banking environments and other settings. Its advanced VoIP recording technology is supported by the industry leading
technology, unmatched support capabilities, market-leading expertise in implementing mission critical solutions, and a
proven ability to provide advanced value-added applications.

Active Recording with BiB & TAPI/JTAPI Signaling

In this mode the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
will be using Ciscos Telephony Application Interface
(TAPI). Telephony device state events are received from
the Cisco TAPI TSP and audio is redirected to devices
built-in-bridge to the KnoahSoft Harmony call recording
application via a SIP Trunk.

Active Recording with Cisco MediaSense

KnoahSoft Harmony tightly integrates with the Cisco
MediaSense platform providing a comprehensive
agent quality and performance management solution
on top of the Cisco MediaSense platform. With this
integration, call recording and storage management
is accomplished by Cisco MediaSense where as
Harmony provides the web-based interface for call
playback, silent monitoring of live calls, agent quality,
performance management, coaching, e-learning and
speech analytics. Additionally, Harmony provides
Screen capture capabilities, and web-based dashboards
and reports.

SPAN Based Passive Recording with SCCP,

SIP, TAPI/JTAPI Signaling
In this configuration, Harmony uses packet sniffing of
the switch ports to monitor and record the Cisco voice
network traffic. The Harmony Recorder works in a passive
mode and records calls purely based on the packets that
it receives from SPAN/RSPAN switch ports. Harmony
is capable of processing Cisco SCCP or SIP signaling
protocols from the SPAN or use the TAPI / JTAPI interface
to get the appropriate signaling needed to record and
store calls based on phone extensions.

CTI Integration for Contact Centers

For Unified Contact Center Enterprise/Express
customers who use the Cisco CTI OS desktop, Harmony
has an integration to receive the call signaling and call
information events with business data from the CTI OS
Servers. The RTP packets are received via SPAN from the
network switches while all call signaling data and events
such as phone extensions, skillgroup details, transfer
details, tracking calls from cradle to grave, and business
data/call variables come from the CTIOS Adapter.

These call signaling events are combined with the RTP

data streams to create the recorded call. In addition
mission-critical ACD metrics such as Abandoned Calls,
Abandoned calls %, Speed of Answer, Average Talk time,
Wrap-up info, Hold info etc can be pulled in.

Post Call Survey with Cisco IP IVR / CVP

Harmony Survey module integrates with Cisco IP IVR
or CVP to provide deep insight into the customer and
performance data. By gathering information that might
otherwise be overlooked or lost, Harmony Survey can
provide insight into the effectiveness of your people,
products, and processes, helping you take action quickly.
With Harmony Survey you can effectively engage
customers immediately after their interactions with your
agents via your IVR with short, context-based, dynamic
surveys that are delivered based on business rules you
define. By targeting specific surveys to customers based
on post call customer interactions, Harmony Survey can
deliver response rates far greater than those obtained
through traditional, one-size-fits-all questionnaires and
scoring patterns such as Yes, No, N/A or Scale of 1 to n or
Voice feedback. As a result, you can move beyond mere
random sampling to capture meaningful data even
with large numbers of customers and multiple sites.
