Global Call IVR (GC IVR) Architecture

What is the Global Call IVR (GC IVR)?

The GC IVR is an application within the IVR platform of Callback and is responsible dialing ASAP and scheduled callbacks. There are 3 applications similar to GC IVR. Which one is deployed depends on the type of ACD connection with Callback.

  • Outbound Contact Client (OCC)
  • Outbound IVR (OB IVR)
  • Global Call IVR (GC IVR)

One of these applications type is required in a Callback solution. You can not mix the different applications.

The GC IVR is a required application always installed on each Management Instance server in a Callback solution.

Details on each connection point:

  1. When Queue Manager determines it's time to dial a callback, a message is sent to GC IVR to start the dialing process.
  2. The GC IVR is ultimately the application that begins the dialing process or starting the process of getting a dial request to an ACD. Based on the ACD type, it's possible other applications will sit between GC IVR and the ACD.
