Which two functionalities should a Contact Center typically be provided?

A Contact Center exists to handle customer contacts efficiently by routing them to appropriately skilled agents while managing wait times through queuing and self-service. Core functionalities define what makes a system a contact center.

Why the Correct Answer is Right: A is correct because Skill-Based Routing is a defining functionality of modern contact centers—it ensures callers are matched with agents who have the appropriate knowledge, language, or certification to handle their need, improving first-call resolution. C is correct because IVR and Queuing are foundational components—IVR handles self-service and call classification, while queuing manages wait times and prioritizes contacts. Both are listed as core contact center capabilities in Cisco CCE documentation.

Why Each Incorrect Answer is Wrong: B is wrong because Surveys are an optional enhancement, not a core contact center requirement. D is wrong because TCP/IP is network infrastructure used by all IP-based systems, not a contact center functionality. E is wrong because Routing Protocols (OSPF, BGP) are network layer concerns entirely outside the scope of contact center functional requirements.
