CosmoCom CosmoConnector
Designed, developed and tested a new product for CosmoCom who developed the first software voice over IP gateways (they actually held the patent for the first VOIP Automated Call Distributor). The product allowed data to pass from call center telephone calls to CRM software. This was a first at the time and no integration interfaces existed for products like Siebel CRM at the time. I came up with 'interesting' methods to force data into these applications.

The product allowed data to pass from call center telephone calls to CRM software. This was a first at the time and no integration interfaces existed for products like Siebel CRM at the time. I came up with 'interesting' methods to force data into these applications.
I integrated ‘CosmoConnector’ with all the major CRM systems at the time and added new one’s as they became available such as salesforce.com. I enjoyed working on this product and seeing today this functionality, as part of almost every call center in the world is very satisfying :)
