FAQ

Have Questions About Your Open CTI Migration? We’ve Got You Covered

Phone systems and CRM platforms don’t have to operate in silos especially during a migration. An Open CTI migration brings your telephony and CRM closer together, but it’s natural to have questions about timing, impact and outcomes. To help you feel confident at every step, we’ve compiled clear answers to the most frequently asked questions about the migration process.

Replace legacy CTI with a native, AI-powered platform

Salesforce Voice brings telephony fully into Omni-Channel and the Salesforce platform.

Migrating unlocks:

- Unified routing across voice and digital channels

- Automation powered by Salesforce Flow

- Live AI transcription

- Automated call summaries

- Agent assist capabilities

- Deep operational reporting

- This isn’t just continuity. It’s a step change in capability.

Salesforce Voice is a Salesforce solution that integrates telephony directly into the Agentforce Service platform. It unifies phone, digital channels and CRM data, giving agents a single workspace to handle calls alongside chat, email and case information - all powered by AI insights.

No. You have options:

- Full bundle (via Salesforce): Powered by Amazon Connect with a fully native Salesforce experience.

- Partner telephony: Your existing provider may integrate, but integration depth varies significantly.

Choosing the wrong model can limit AI capability, automation and scalability. We help you make the right call.

We don’t just “install Voice.” We design it properly.

We have successfully migrated organisations from Open CTI across multiple industries and telephony platforms.

Transform Customer Conversations

The best customer experiences come from connected data.

We unify telephony, data and digital channels into one seamless experience. With expert consulting, tailored integration and long-term support, we ensure Salesforce Voice helps you deliver faster, smarter and more connected customer interactions.

We start by reviewing your current call centre setup and service workflows. We identify where telephony and CRM data can be unified. This ensures Salesforce Voice is designed to enhance – not disrupt – your existing service model.

From selecting the right telephony provider to integrating with Agentforce Service, we handle the technical complexities of Salesforce Voice. We configure call flows, real-time transcription and agent workspaces for a streamlined deployment.

We enable you to make the most of AI-powered features like live transcription, sentiment analysis and real-time recommendations. By feeding accurate data into these models, we ensure your agents receive reliable insights during customer interactions.

We train your agents, supervisors and admins to thrive in a voice-augmented environment. By building confidence in using real-time transcription, analytics and AI prompts, your team is equipped to maximise both productivity and customer satisfaction.
