Industries Framework Common

Industries Framework

CX Industries Framework serves as a platform for seamless integration of applications. You can use this platform to integrate your application with other Oracle applications and third-party applications, which includes cloud services and on-premise systems. In addition, you can leverage data from various sources, use TM Forum Open APIs and REST APIs to configure and extend tailored experiences.

CX Industries Framework supports both synchronous and asynchronous interactions between the integrated applications. It hosts all the TM Forum Open APIs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Gateway to secure and optimize the API interactions. It also ensures high availability and resiliency by using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing service.

Business Logic Extensibility

Business Logic Extensibility enables Tenants or Partners the ability to apply business logic extensions that won't be overridden during upgrades to the extended baseline.  

Introspection API

In this release, CXIF provides the ability to discover which APIs are registered and configured inside CXIF. This API can be used by any application that shares the environment with CXIF. For example, you can use this API to discover which TMForum or Open APIs are available to applications in the CXIF environments.

Agent Experience

Agent Experience

Oracle Fusion Utilities Agent Experience Cloud Service simplifies the agent experience, and provides customer service representatives and managers with a variety of agent tools that reduce the cost-to-serve and provide elevated customer service. This solution integrates Oracle Utilities customer information with the Oracle Sales and Oracle B2B Service applications.

Customer List Enhancements

Use the enhanced Customer List to easily find and manage contact, prospect, and customer records. The Customer List enables customer service agents to easily identify whether a record is a contact, a prospect, or a customer. Based on the record type, the system provides the agent with the options they need to easily navigate to screens that help them answer common customer inquiries.

These updates provide more information and options to customer service agents, helping them improve efficiency by resolving common customer inquiries quickly and easily.

Service Request Enhancements

Use the Return to Work Queue button on the Service Request form to enable customer service agents easily to return to the Work Queue after navigating to a service request from the Agent Experience. Utilities can configure the text that appears on the button and the destination URL if they want agents to return to a location other than the Work Queue.

This button improves navigation and enables customer service agents to effortlessly return to the work that needs their attention.

Create Payment Plan with Oracle Intelligent Advisor

Use the Create Payment Plan option to access the payment plan workflow, which enables customer service agents to determine customer eligibility, view available payment plans, and enroll customers in approved plans.

This option enables customer service agents to use predefined eligibility rules and payment plans to easily set up up a valid plan for customers who have past-due balances.
