Call timing can optionally be postponed until an agent is available to attend the call.
Informed Access Number Selection—The phone number used to call your contact center can be chosen for each individual inbound call, based on mobile contextual data, such as customer location.
Customer Location—Part of the mobile contextual data is customer location. For instance, customer location can be displayed on a map for the agent attending the call.
