This course is a follow-on to ICMPT1, our introductory Cisco Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) training course, and provides ICM system administrators, maintenance personnel, and Cisco partners the knowledge and experience needed to install, configure, support, and troubleshoot ICM Enterprise Edition.
Begin by exploring deployment models, deployment planning, ICM processes, functional descriptions, and fault tolerance. Then, using a basic design from ICMPT1 class content, you will create a duplexed ICM central controller with two contact centers. Build a simple SQL database for use in database routing, and after installing the required software, set up your lab. Using what you learned in ICMPT1, you'll configure and script for your business logic. Finish up by monitoring and troubleshooting the lab using Support Tools, command line, and other troubleshooting aids and techniques.
This course is based on ICM Enterprise Release 7.0.
