The Interaction Center or IAC is the heart of ICBS. Just like the ICMS Interaction center, ICBS IAC is the foundational center-piece of the ICBS suite of products. The other ICBS applications depend on IAC to provide core communications and general business functionalities. ICBS IAC incorporates the IMX premier softphone which is a Java-based application and an enhanced version of the IMX standard edition. Other basic functions are a project and resource management module, a business scheduler, a budget planner and some cool business widgets.

Chart the Course of Your Business
The gap between where your business is today and where you want to go can be bridged by the strategies you employ in your business. ICBS IAC assists in making your people understand the key strategies of your business by publishing corporate mission, vision and directives onto the digital bulletin board within the IAC dashboard. You can chart the course of your business and have the peace-of-mind that your partners and employees know exactly where you are headed.

Also, preliminary guidelines and procedures can be published to your managers and supervisors for comments and suggestions. Doing this will greatly increase the "buy-in" for the strategies you plan to implement.
