Oracle Standalone Cobrowse
Create optimal customer and service agent experiences with screen sharing capabilities
Cobrowse technology puts your customers and agents on the same page—literally. With the click of a button, customers can show their screens to agents during a service call. When issues are too complex to resolve effectively over the phone or via live chat, Oracle Standalone Cobrowse can mean the difference between a slow and frustrating interaction and a quick, positive service experience.
Increase customer service agent efficiency
Shave time off phone and chat interactions by eliminating the need for customers to articulate what they are experiencing or what they are seeing. Agents no longer have to provide verbal instructions that customers struggle to understand and follow. By viewing the same thing, both parties understand one another and can leave the interaction satisfied that the issue has been resolved.
Drives sales through better “co-shopping” experiences
Cobrowse technology enables you to create a “co-shopping” experience that mimics the in-store experience with a well-trained salesperson guiding customers. Inviting website and mobile visitors to cobrowse with an agent while they shop improves engagement and provides many opportunities to up- and cross-sell.

Provide the ideal customer experience and ensure customer privacy with granular security settings
Standalone Cobrowse helps you deliver an optimal customer experience. Agents can quickly launch secure, private screen sharing sessions—on any device—to give customers personalized, efficient assistance.
Extremely granular security settings in Standalone Cobrowse allow service agents to view all necessary online materials to help customers resolve issues or find what they need. These materials can include any combination of web pages, domains, desktop applications, settings, or various types of on-page technologies, such as Adobe Flash Player, Microsoft Silverlight, pop-ups, and dynamic content.
Within the cobrowse session—which is configured to only allow the appropriate levels of content visibility—further security settings can be applied to block specific content from an agent’s view, such as account data or social security numbers. Additional security features of Oracle Standalone Cobrowse include:
- A SaaS architecture that’s distributed across multiple locations in data centers that are SSAE 16 audited.
- Cobrowse session keys that are randomly generated for each visual sharing session and expire when the session ends.
- Cobrowse data that’s transmitted via Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted channel (HTTPS or WSS).
- Only HTTPS port 443 is used, so that Standalone Cobrowse does not touch any firewalls
- No customer data is stored on Oracle Standalone Cobrowse servers.
- No trigger warnings or alerts in antimalware appliances or firewalls due to Standalone Cobrowse.
- Certification by Veracode, which makes Standalone Cobrowse suitable for financial and private customer information transmission over the internet.
Reduce risk with access control features
Standalone Cobrowse provides access control features to further reduce risk and ensure customer privacy. These access control features include:
- Complete control of customer launch point placement, including the use of a proprietary business rules engine, allowing you to control launch point visibility according to customer behavior or profile
- Agent access restrictions that ensure only authorized employees may join a cobrowse session
- In-session agent controls that can be configured for view only, view plus point, or full mouse and keyboard control
- Agents can initiate the escalation from a page sharing cobrowse session to an end user desktop sharing cobrowse session
