1 Multi-Vendor CTI for ServiceNow CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) for ServiceNow enables seamless integration of telephony operations with existing business processes. For ServiceNow users, this means detailed caller information is instantly available and time-consuming steps are eliminated in order to efficiently handle inbound and outbound calls. Solution Overview Starfish Click-to-Communicate (C2C) for ServiceNow tightly integrates multi-vendor CTI for ServiceNow. The C2C Solution supports enterprise unified communication and contact center platforms including Avaya, Cisco and Microsoft Skype for Business that provides a feature rich set of CTI functionality seamlessly in ServiceNow. The C2C Solution leverages Starfish Directory Solution to consolidate and make available telephony end user information from Avaya, Cisco and Microsoft Active Directory (AD) in order to maintain an authoritative user profile directory. C2C Features Starfish C2C Solution provides the following capabilities for ServiceNow users: Initiate outbound calls and answer inbound calls from ServiceNow Screen pop contact information on incoming calls and navigate to the appropriate page based on contact information Log inbound and outbound calls Users can easily place calls to contacts by clicking a telephone icon on the ServiceNow form. When a call is received, a click-to-communicate window is displayed identifying the caller. The user can then answer the call or view the contact record of the caller. The C2C client enables telephony operations such as: Make Call Drop Call Answer Call Hold Call Resume Call Transfer Conference Multi-Call Handling

2 Handling Inbound Calls When a user s phone receives an incoming call a dialog box is displayed. Based on the incoming phone number, a ServiceNow contact name and account name will be identified (if there is a matching number in the ServiceNow contact database). If there is no match, just the phone number will be displayed. From this dialog box, the user can answer the call by selecting the Answer button. Once the call is answered, the user can navigate to a corresponding ServiceNow page (only available if the contact has been identified). The screen shot below shows the corresponding page navigated to a specific contact on the Contact Page. The information displayed can be customized.
