Back in 2006, I was a Cisco TAC engineer supporting UCCX (it was known as IPCC Express, a.k.a. CRA, or CRS or IPIVR). My colleagues were always joking about the "tribal knowledge" of UCCX because of the scarce information.
Cisco has published some documentations. But those documentations are "menu driven" vs. "task driven". i.e. they explained what each menu does but didn't tell you which menus to go through in order to achieve a specific goal (e.g. set up a hotline to handle incoming calls).
I've been wanting to write a book on UCCX since then but been procrastinating because of jobs and family. And I was hoping some real UCCX experts can step forward to do the job.
Nine years has passed. Surprisingly no book has been written on UCCX yet. Maybe the experts were too busy? Maybe they don't think UCCX is a topic worth writing on? (at least that's Cisco Press' opinion when I contacted them). Thus I took the liberty to write one and publish it myself.
Just like my other book (Deploying Cisco Unified Presence), the UCCX book is available on lulu.com for now. It will be available on other retailers (such as Amazon, Nobles and Barnes, etc.) in a few weeks.
I'm far from being an expert. But something less than perfect is better than nothing at all. With limited time and resource, I'm sure there will be typos and mistakes in the book. Please kindly send me your feedback and suggestions. I'll make them into the next edition. You may also leave a message on my blog.
By the way, all proceeds go to charity to support students from low-income families.
Thank you for your support!
