Introduction

You can migrate from the legacy Cisco Customer Journey Platform (R10) and Cisco CC-One (R9) releases to Webex Contact Center (new platform). This migration enables access to new features and bug fixes.

You enroll in the migration program and Cisco provides you with a Migation Workspace with these capabilities:

  • Migrate tenant configuration

    You export the platform configuration data from your legacy tenant into a set of comma-separated value (CSV) files. You update entries in the CSV files that match your requirements for your new Webex Contact Center tenant. After the CSV files are ready, you upload them to Control Hub using the Bulk Operations feature. For more information about Bulk Operations, see Bulk Operations in Webex Contact Center.

  • Historical data

    You can access Analyzer-based data from the legacy platform. This provides compliance and historical reporting information. The following data sources are available:

    • Customer Session Record

    • Customer Activity Record

    • Agent Session Record

    • Agent Activity Record

  • Call recordings

    You can access call recordings from the legacy platform. You access call recordings for compliance or to review past customer interactions.

Introduction

A workspace account is created for all migrating customer tenants. The workspace provides access to all migration features that are enabled for your account. You can access a workspace from the URL https://workspace.produs1.ciscoccservice.com/.

Cisco Engineers, Customer Success, and Partners can access your workspace account to assist you through the migration lifecycle.

To migrate tenant configurations from the legacy tenant to the new platform:

  1. Extract the legacy platform configurations as CSV files and IVR prompt audio files in zip format.

  2. Update the CSV files to be compatible with the new platform.

  3. Upload the CSV files to the new platform using the Bulk Operations feature.

After you migrate the agents to the new platform, you can request access to Analyzer-based data and call recordings from the legacy platform. You can access this data from the Call Recordings and Historical Data tabs of the migration workspace.

Workspace Management

Before you create a workspace, onboard the customer organization in Control Hub with Contact Center entitlements.

The legacy platform remains in use until you disable all agents on the legacy platform and enable them on the new platform. After you enable all the agents on the new platform, decommission the customer tenant on the legacy platform.


Cisco Engineering and Solution Assurance teams use root administrator privileges to manage a workspace.

Before you begin

  • Create a customer organization in Control Hub with Contact Center entitlements enabled.

1

Note down the email address of the administrator, company name, and organization ID for the customer organization in Control Hub.

2

Perform one of these actions:

  • R9 platform migration:
    1. Find the Data Center that hosts the Tenant and note down the Tenant ID.

    2. Note down the Tenant Name and Tenant Description for validation.

  • R10 platform migration:
    1. Select an administrator user and note down the API key for this user.

    2. Note down the Tenant ID, Tenant Name, and the Tenant Description.

3

Sign in to the Migration Workspace application https://workspace.produs1.ciscoccservice.com/ as the root administrator.

4

Click New Workspace.

5

Enter the administrator email address that you noted from the Control Hub and click Confirm.

If the user validates successfully, the system displays the Company Name, Organization ID, and Administrator email address.

6

Verify the organization details to ensure that you have mapped the correct organization on Control Hub.

7

Perform one of the following actions to identify the source Tenant:

  • R9 platform migration:
    1. Select R9 under Source Tenant Platform.

    2. Enter the Tenant ID.

    3. Select the Data Center.

  • R10 platform migration:
    1. Select R10 under Source Tenant Platform.

    2. Enter the API Key.

    3. Enter the Tenant ID.

    4. Enter the administrator username associated with the API key.

8

Click Validate.

9

Check that the Tenant Name and Description match the information noted in step 2.

10

Enable one or more of the following Migration features:

  • Tenant Configurations

  • Historical Data

  • Call Recordings

    For more information, see the section Export a Configuration File in Bulk Operations for Webex Contact Center.

  2. Update the attributes such as User Profile, Site, Teams, and so on in the configuration file using the data extracted from the legacy platform user export.

Historical Data and Call Recordings

Use the View Historical Data option in the Workspace to access Analyzer data. The Analyzer data is available according to your data retention requirements. Data isn’t purged from the system.

Cisco executes some back-end scripts to enable access to the historical data from the Workspace. After you’ve moved all the agents to the new platform and no new data is generated on the legacy tenant, ask your Solution Assurance contact to enable data access for your Workspace.

Authorized users can access the View Historical Data option.

The View Historical Data option can display a maximum of 5000 records. If a search returns more than 5000 records, a message indicates that not all the records can be displayed. If this happens, modify the search criteria to return fewer than 5000 records.

1

In the Migration Workspace, click View Historical Data.

2

In the View Historical Data page, click Search Records.

3

Select a data source from the following options and click Next:

You may need access to call recordings for internal review, training, and compliance. After you migrate all agents to the new platform, the Call Recording application on the legacy platform is decommissioned. After the platform is decommissioned, you use the Workspace application to access call recordings generated on the legacy platform. The recordings are available in the Workspace as per your data retention requirements. Data isn’t purged from the legacy platform.


The View Call Recordings option can display a maximum of 5000 records at a time. If a search returns more than 5000 records, a message displays to indicate that not all the records can be displayed. If this happens, modify the search criteria to return less than 5000 records.

After the migration from the legacy platform, Cisco executes some back-end scripts to enable access to call recordings from the Workspace. After all agents are on the new platform and no new call recordings are generated on the legacy tenant, ask your Solution Assurance contact to enable data access for your Workspace.


For the R9 platform, Cisco can migrate call recordings if you are using the R9 cloud-hosted recording application. If you are using the on-premises Jukebox on the R9 platform, you can continue to retain the call recordings in your premises. Cisco can’t make these recordings available on the Workspace because on-premises customer repositories are inaccessible for migration.

1
