Interaction Optimizer

Interaction Optimizer is a Workforce Management (WFM) application that enables administrators to effectively schedule resources. Interaction Optimizer is an optional component of Customer Interaction Center (CIC).

Note: Interaction Optimizer is enabled only if your CIC system has the appropriate feature licenses. Interaction Optimizer administrative features are available in IC Business Manager. For more information, see the Interaction Optimizer Technical Reference.

Interaction Optimizer also enables you as an agent to view your schedule, submit time off requests, and trade shifts with other agents. Your CIC administrator determines whether you have access to these Interaction Optimizer features inside Interaction Connect.
