Enhance BroadWorks carriers with intent-aware routing and transcripts.
You do not need to replace Cisco BroadWorks to fix how calls get answered. The AI layer sits in front of your existing setup, so extensions, recordings, and reporting keep working the way your team expects.
Setting up with Cisco BroadWorks
Deployment is a routing change rather than a phone-system migration. The steps below are the whole job.
Provision a trunk to MedFrontDesk.ai
Katie answers, categorizes, and returns calls to hunt groups
Analytics map back to BroadWorks call detail records
Compatibility notes
What carries over from your current Cisco BroadWorks configuration, and what to check before you start.
Cisco, Metaswitch, and CLEC partners supported
What stays exactly as it is
Practices worry that adding an AI layer means rebuilding telephony. It does not. Cisco BroadWorks keeps doing what it does.
Your existing numbers and extensions
Call recording and analytics you already rely on
Hunt groups and internal transfer paths
Your current contracts and hardware
What to measure after go-live
Agree the numbers before you switch anything on, so the effect of the Cisco BroadWorks layer is visible rather than anecdotal.
Answer speed and abandoned-call rate
Share of calls resolved without staff involvement
Staff hours returned to in-person work
Booking and no-show rate movement
Rollout checklist
Confirm your Cisco BroadWorks plan and admin access.
Decide which numbers or queues to route first.
Mirror your current auto-attendant options.
Define where calls return to after handling.
Test end to end before cutting the main line over.
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to leave Cisco BroadWorks?
No. This layers on top of Cisco BroadWorks; your numbers, extensions, and contracts stay where they are.
Can we start with one queue?
Yes, and most practices should. Route one line or queue first, confirm behavior, then expand.
What happens to call recordings?
Existing recording and analytics continue to work. Handled calls are also logged with structured outcomes.
