Frequently Asked Questions #

What if I don’t know if I’m using Remote Collection or Cloud Connect? #

Contact the ISI Support Team at https://isianalytics.com/support/ for assistance.

What is Cloud Connect? #

Cloud Connect is an application created by ISI that interfaces with a system on the customer’s premise. It securely collects and transmits data to the ISI cloud. Common use cases include UCM Directory Imports, CDR Delivery, Avaya Aura CDR Collection, and Native Call Queuing for UCM.
