Modernize the contact center without interrupting service

IMR Soft Contact Center Modernization

We move live contact-center operations onto a Salesforce-led service model: voice, IVR, routing and agent context joined to the same case workflows, planned around service continuity.

Buyer challenges

What makes a contact center change risky

  • Limited control of the voice platform

    A managed or legacy voice model makes every routing or menu change slow.

  • Routing that must carry over

    Queues and routing profiles have to move without sending callers to the wrong place.

  • IVR and language requirements

    Menus, keypad choices, language selection and hours rules must keep working.

  • Agents without context

    Customer details sit in backend systems that the agent cannot see when the call arrives.

  • Number transition

    Direct and toll-free numbers need an inventory, forwarding or porting, and test calls.

  • Recordings and history

    Past recordings and transcripts must stay available while the old platform retires.

One connected service journey

From the first ring to a resolved case

Agentforce Service sits at the center of the agent experience. The voice layer is chosen to fit your requirements.

Architecture-neutral approach

The voice model follows your requirements

Salesforce-native and partner contact-center patterns are compared against your needs before a target model is chosen.

  • Agentforce Contact Center

    Salesforce's native contact center, with voice and digital channels in the same service workspace.

  • Partner Contact Center

    A partner telephony platform, including Amazon Connect, integrated with Agentforce Service for routing, CTI and agent context.

  • Integrated or hybrid

    An existing voice platform kept in place and connected to Salesforce, or a phased mix of models during transition.

Value pillars

What the modernization covers

  • Service continuity

    Phased transition, validation calls, and cutover and rollback planning keep service running during the change.

    Outcome area

    Customers and agents keep being served while the platform changes.

  • Routing, language and hours

    Queues, routing profiles, multilingual routing and business-hours rules designed and tested against real call paths.

    Outcome area

    Callers reach the right queue in their language.

    Learn more
  • Agent context at the moment of contact

    CTI, screen pop and secure backend lookups put customer information in front of the agent when the call arrives.

    Outcome area

    Fewer repeated questions and transfers.

    Learn more
  • Operational ownership

    Routing, hours, queues and menus move under the organization's own governance, with release controls for change.

    Outcome area

    Changes made by the business, safely, without waiting on a vendor.

  • Records and history

    Plans for continued access to historical recordings and transcripts while the prior platform retires.

    Outcome area

    History available for service and review after the move.

    Learn more
  • Production readiness

    Regression testing, deployment controls, cutover checks, hypercare and knowledge transfer.

    Outcome area

    A stable operation after go-live.

Agentforce opportunities

Where Agentforce can follow the contact center

Once routing and context are in place, the same foundation supports governed Agentforce use cases. They are assessed separately, and are not required for the modernization.

  • Call and case summaries

    A short record of the conversation and case for the next agent.

  • Answers from approved Knowledge

    Help for agents and customers that stays within approved content.

  • Safe handoff

    Unclear or sensitive requests move to a person with context attached.

Representative team experience

Prior professional experience of IMR Soft Salesforce practice team members. Sanitized, and not presented as an IMR Soft corporate client engagement.

The challenge

Transition a live, multi-queue contact-center operation away from a prior managed voice model without interrupting service, while preserving routing, multilingual service, telephony, recordings and backend integration.

Team-member scope

Salesforce service workflows integrated with a cloud contact center: IVR and keypad (DTMF) menus, queues and routing profiles, multilingual and business-hours logic, number transition and validation, and secure backend lookups. Work covered architecture, design, hands-on implementation, testing, migration, cutover, troubleshooting and stabilization.

  • Service continuity

    Transition and cutover planning to keep service operating during the platform change.

  • Routing and operational control

    Routing and configuration-control patterns for multi-queue operations.

  • Queue, language and hours

    Queue, multilingual, business-hours and after-hours routing patterns.

  • Recording and transcript continuity

    Planned continued access to historical recordings and transcripts.

  • Secure integration foundation

    Secure backend lookup and context-passing patterns for agents and future automation.

  • Production readiness

    Testing, validation calls, cutover coordination, troubleshooting and stabilization.

Implementation approach

Prove one call path, then move the operation

An assessment maps numbers, menus, queues, routing and integrations. A proof of concept then runs one representative journey end to end, from caller entry to agent context, before the wider migration.
