Interaction Center Certified Professional (ICCP)
Especially for Customers of Interactive Intelligence

What is the ICCP?
Interactive Intelligence Education Services, in conjunction with Support, has defined a new certification path especially for customers running CIC/EIC systems with hardware based telephony platforms. The certification path that you should take is determined by how much support you provide for your system, and what platform your system runs on.

We do not have a partner that provides support to us (We are a Direct Customer). Do we have to have a certified professional on staff?
If you support your system that has a hardware based telephony platform, and call Interactive Intelligence directly when you have issues that you can’t resolve, then you must have at least 1 certified engineer on staff (We recommend 2 or more certified engineers on staff. Only certified engineers can access support from ININ.). Once certified, you will have access to support, License Management, and all areas of the support web-site.

We have a partner that provides support to us (We are an Indirect Customer). Do we have to have a certified professional on staff?
If you call your partner for support issues, you are not required to take certification training. However, training is recommended so that you can better manage your system. If you complete the appropriate certification path for your platform, then you will be given view access to the support KnowledgeBase, view access to your support tickets, and access to other support pages. You will NOT have direct access to ININ support, will NOT be able to download Hotfixes and SUs, will NOT have access to License Management pages, and will NOT be able to open support tickets.

My CIC/EIC system uses HMP? What training should we take?
If your system runs on an HMP SIP-based platform, then you need the Interaction Center VoIP Professional (ICVP) certification – a networking pre-requisite and VoIP Bootcamp. The ICCP is only for those customers that have systems running on Dialogic, Aculab, or TAPI systems.

My IC system is running on a Dialogic platform. What training should we take?
If your system runs on a Dialogic-based platform, then you need ICCP certification – On-line Dialogic hardware simulation, on-line Troubleshooting the IC System, instructor-led IC System Administration class. After the release of IC 3.0, these requirements will be replaced with an ICCP Bootcamp.

My IC system is running on an Aculab platform. What training should we take?
If your system runs on a Aculab-based platform, then you need ICCP certification – On-line Aculab hardware simulation, on-line Troubleshooting the IC System, instructor-led IC System Administration class. After the release of IC 3.0, these requirements will be replaced with an ICCP Bootcamp.

My IC system is running on a TAPI platform? What training should we take?
If your system runs on a TAPI-based platform, then you need
ICCP certification – On-line TAPI simulation, on-line Troubleshooting the IC System, instructor-led IC System Administration class. After the release of IC 3.0, these requirements will be replaced with an ICCP Bootcamp.

I am a Direct customer but I already have 2 certified engineers on staff. Do I have to have them recertify with the new program?
No. If you have met the current requirements, you do not have to recertify.

I am a Direct customer but I don't have time to send anyone to the training. How can I support my system?
If you have no certified engineers on staff, and you are a direct customer, you must contract with Managed Services to provide support for your system. You may contact Managed Services at IMS@inin.com or by phone at +1 (317) 715-8270.

The Windows & Networking prerequisite exam for the ICCE is a third-party test that will help to determine if you have the minimum Windows and networking background to be successful in the ICCE program.

When you register for the ICCE, you will receive an invitation email from Brainbench to take the test. The email will provide your login details for this web-based test.

The test will take 30-45 minutes to complete. When it is complete, an email will be sent to ININ Education with your results. At that time, we will send an email letting you know the status of your test (pass/fail). If you passed, you may now register for the IC Fundamentals and VoIP Bootcamp classes. If you did not pass, you may retake the test, but must pay $75 by credit card or PO. Because the test is provided by a third-party, SDF funds may not be used for the retest.

To successfully complete the exam, you should meet the following prerequisites:

• Intermediate level knowledge of Windows Administration and Networking. (2+ years hands on or formal study program)
• Basic understanding of the purpose of gateways, routers and switches including IP addressing


• Test covers Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Administration, Networking Fundamentals and Networking support


• If you feel that you don't have the background to successfully complete the test, there are several resources available to help you study for this test. Many books and kits may be found at Microsoft Press to help learn the required basics of Microsoft's Windows Administration and Networking Fundamentals that is required for the ICCE program. Following are just a few recommendations:
  • ALS Networking Essentials Plus, Third Edition
  •  MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-215): Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server, Second Edition
  • Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft® Windows Server" 2003 Network Infrastructure

If you have further questions about the test, please email education.
