How can Cisco contact center agents work inside Salesforce?
Cisco contact center agents can work inside Salesforce in two ways: a CTI connector such as Bucher+Suter’s b+s Connects, which puts Cisco voice controls into the Salesforce Omni-Channel widget, or Salesforce Voice with Cisco as the partner telephony. Totalix for Cisco adds a third: the full omnichannel workspace, native to Finesse, embedded in Salesforce.
The options compared
| Option | What agents get in Salesforce | Cisco routing | Digital channels and AI | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| b+s Connects for Salesforce Voice | Cisco CCE, CCX or Webex CC voice in the Omni-Channel widget; screen pop, click-to-dial, VoiceCall records | Stays with Cisco | Voice; digital through Salesforce’s own channels | Now |
| Salesforce Voice with partner telephony | Salesforce’s native voice experience with Cisco among the Open CTI vendors | Depends on the partner package | Salesforce’s channels and Einstein | Now; per-user tiers on Salesforce’s pricing page |
| Totalix for Cisco | The Totalix workspace, native to Finesse and Webex CC, embedded in Salesforce for the teams who work there | Routing, business rules and integrations stay in place | Every channel, AI Agent Assist, knowledge and reporting from Totalix | 1 December 2026 (early adopters from November 2026) |

When it fits
Your contact center runs on Cisco, your service or sales teams live in Salesforce, and you want them on one conversation timeline with AI assistance rather than a voice widget.
When it doesn’t
You only need calls in Salesforce, where a connector may be enough.
How Totalix does it
Totalix for Cisco keeps Finesse as the agent desktop on UCCE, PCCE and WCCE, or Webex Contact Center, and the same experience can be embedded in Salesforce for the teams who work there, with a mobile agent option for field and remote staff: one Cisco estate, three ways to work in it.
