Objectworld Unified Communications Server® provides businesses with a simple, cost-effective way to improve customer responsiveness, customer service and customer retention with communications-enabled business processes. Objectworld UC Server’s communications-enabled business process (CEBP) capabilities allow businesses to build phone-based applications that reduce human latency, cut costs and drive revenues by linking corporate data, business processes and unified communications in a simple but powerful visual service creation environment.

Many businesses already make use of auto-attendants to route customer calls, but building phone-based applications has been costly and complicated for small- to medium-size businesses. CEBP applications have often required specialized programming and expensive professional services. Objectworld eliminates this barrier by providing phone-based applications designed in Objectworld’s simple, drag and drop Windows-based service creation environment. With Objectworld UC Server’s service creation envrionment (available in SIP, Standard and CEBP Editions), businesses can link business communications, processes and corporate data over the phone with Objectworld UC Server’s visual services creation environment.

Improve and streamline customers service by providing self-service information over the phone. Objectworld’s CEBP capabilities offer business the opportunity to build sophisticated phone-based applications, but often, customers may just want simple information over the phone. With Objectworld’s CEBP capabilities, customers can simply phone in, with or without logging in.

How can CEBP work for you? Objectworld UC Server allow both your IT staff and users to build and maintain their own CEBP applications without retaining expensive professional services. Users simply phone in, press in their PIN and then enter basic choices (e.g. “Press 1 for more information”). Your IT or administrative staff can build multimedia CEBP services that access any external ODBC database, or use built-in Personal Tables available in Objectworld UC Server.

Objectworld CEBP is cost-effective. Objectworld provides a point-and-click service creation environment that allows just about anyone to build a CEBP application with simple drag and drop. Businesses can deploy CEBP applications in hours to days, not weeks to months, trimming the development costs and allowing them to integrate CEBP into their business processes more quickly.

Objectworld CEBP is secure. All systems can be setup to require a PIN (personal identification number) that only the user and administrative staff know. Objectworld UC Server is fully integrated with Microsoft Windows as well as Active Directory® and take advantage of the security inherent to the Microsoft infrastructure.

If you need help, it’s always there. Not every organization will want to build its own CEBP applications. Objectworld Authorized Resellers and the Objectworld Professional Services Group are always available to help businesses enhance the productivity and security of their Objectworld-based solutions with CEBP applications.
