Key Concept
Screen pop refers to the automated population of a caller’s information on a contact center agent’s screen. This population occurs at the same time that the agent’s phone rings and is made possible by Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). Screen pop depends on search data that identifies callers, such as the numbers from which they are calling or other information they enter at the request of an interactive voice response (IVR) unit.

An important part of any large company’s human resources optimization strategy is the implementation of an HR shared services contact center to consolidate the handling of employee inquiries and issues. Global corporations may consolidate this information into several strategically placed centers that handle multiple languages and regional- or country-specific issues. For the SAP-enabled organization that needs to implement an HR shared services center, SAP provides the Employee Interaction Center (EIC) for service center agents. When an agent receives a call from an employee, he asks for the employee’s unique identifier (usually a personnel number), enters it into a search field, and brings up the employee’s data. A company can further optimize this process by implementing Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) and screen pop.
