Cisco Integration
Ambition offers a preconfigured template capable of parsing your Cisco CDR data into the following metrics:
Outbound: Outgoing Calls, Outgoing Call Length, Average Outgoing Call Length
Inbound: Incoming Calls, Incoming Call Length, Average Incoming Call Length
If your Organization desires to send Cisco data in addition to the Metrics listed above, utilizing the preconfigured template will not meet your Organization's needs.
In that case, creating a API/FTP integration will be the best route!

Upload Cisco Data
Credentials
USERNAME, PASSWORD, HOST, and PORT.
FTP Transmission
You will need to email gethelp@ambition.com with your server's external IP address so that we can create a whitelist rule in our firewall. This IP address should not start with 192.168, 172.16 - 172.31, or 10. as these are private, internal addresses. In addition, we only support Passive FTP which means you must open restrictions on outbound ports.
There may be up to a two week wait time for IP addresses to be whitelisted.
Utilize either the built-in Cisco CDR Manager or a custom solution to transmit data on an automated basis. Exclude sending CMR files.
Extensions
Ambition will map Cisco data to employees through phone extensions. These can be input manually through an individual's Account Settings page or bulk uploaded through CSV.
