Overview
The Contact Center Enterprise (CCE) Solution Compatibility Matrix includes all the Cisco CCE solutions and component compatibility information. This compatibility matrix specifies all supported configurations and versions for Release 12.5(x), which includes the maintenance or ES releases of 12.5(x). The information in this compatibility matrix supersedes compatibility information in any other CCE documentation. If the Compatibility Matrix does not state a configuration or version, then it does not support it.
The process of migrating from Unified CCE, Packaged CCE, or Hosted Collaboration Solution for CC to Webex CCE is like performing a premise-based tech refresh, but with a few key differences pointed out within this document. This document provides guidance on the access and tools available and recommendations on how to accomplish a Webex CCE migration. This document focuses on the core Cisco components. It does not provide information about third-party solution components.
Notes
■ Make sure that your Router, Logger, and AW are in the same version as your PG or in a version that is higher than your PG.
■ The Compatibility Matrix specifies all supported third-party software (such as Nuance and Informix) and its versions. Support for these software versions and their interoperability depends on the release cycles (patches and upgrades) of the third-party software. For example, support for ESXi depends on VMware release cycles.
■ Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution for Contact Center (HCS for CC) shares the same media kit as Cisco Unified CCE, which includes some components not supported in a Cisco HCS for CC deployment.
■ Packaged CCE: In Release 12.5(x), the multistage upgrade support is backward compatible with Release 12.0 only. For all releases prior to 12.0, all components must be on the same release.
Exception: Cisco Unified CM (CUCM) can continue to be on an earlier compatible release for an off-box solution deployment.
■ Support for a CUCM release is inclusive of all updates.
■ For details on the browsers and the languages that are supported by Cisco Webex Experience Management, see Experience Management.
■ Upgrade all the solution components to experience the new features delivered as part of a particular solution release version. Upgrading only the component that delivers the new feature may not be sufficient in all cases. For more information on upgrade paths, see the CCE Upgrade Flowcharts in the respective Contact Center Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guides.
■ IP IVR 12.5(1), IP IVR 12.5(1) SU1, IP IVR 12.5(1) SU2, and IP IVR 12.5(1) SU3 are compatible with CCE 12.5(x).

Notes
■ The phone models that are end-of-sale and end-of-software-maintenance will continue to work with Contact Center Enterprise solutions. The phone models that are end-of-support are still compatible with Contact Center Enterprise solutions, but they are neither tested nor supported by Cisco.
— For end-of-life and end-of-sale announcements, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/eos-eol-listing.html.
— For information on a specific endpoint, see the product page of the endpoint.
■ General: Only the Cisco IP Phones listed in the preceding table are supported as contact center agent phones. As an alternative, you can deploy the Mobile Agent solution to enable the contact center to use any phone as an agent phone.
■ General: The Join Across Line (JAL) and Direct Transfer Across Line (DTAL) phone features aren’t supported, and must be disabled on phones that come packaged with these features and local CTI ports (LCP) for Mobile Agent.
■ General: For any phone that allows Single-Line Mode, you can use Shared Line on a non-ACD line. You must have your PG in Single-Line Mode (set the Agent Phone Line Control setting to Single Line).
■ General: Other than call initiation, all other call control on the non-ACD extensions is supported from multiline capable desktops. Calls initiated from the hard phone can be controlled after initial call setup.
■ 78xx: If Cisco Finesse IPPA agents use 78xx series phone, you must either disable the Cisco Finesse IPPA Inactivity Timeout feature or increase the timeout in the range of 120 seconds to one day (86400 seconds), so that the agent doesn’t get logged out of Cisco Finesse IPPA even if the agent is on any other screen.
■ 88xx phones are supported only with desktop controls in the Standard Line mode. If both desktop and device controls are required, use the Enhanced Line mode.
■ 89xx and 99xx: 89xx and 99xx series phones don’t support video prompt and queue.
■ 89xx, 99xx: These phones don’t support directly disabling the Join Across Line (JAL) and Direct Transfer Across Line (DTAL) phone features. Instead, you must configure the Unified CM PG to use Multi-Line only. This setting applies to all phones controlled by that specific Unified PG. You cannot configure it on a phone-by-phone basis. Also, configure all phones with Set Maximum number of calls to 2 and Set Busy trigger to 1.
■ Webex:
— For minimum supported versions of CUCM and Expressway (for MRA deployments) to support Webex, see the Supported Unified CM Releases and the Supported Expressway Releases tables at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cloudCollaboration/wbxt/ucmcalling/unified-cm-wbx-teams-deployment-guide/unified-cm-wbx-teams-deployment-guide_chapter_011.html.
■ Jabber:
— Agent Greeting support for Jabber requires minimum Cisco Jabber version 12.9.
— MRA support for Jabber requires minimum Cisco Jabber version 12.5 and Expressway 12.5. If you have VPN split-tunneling configured, you can use Jabber with MRA and the Finesse desktop on the same client machine. See https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/anyconnect-secure-mobility-client/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html for Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client split-tunneling configuration.
— If VPN split-tunneling isn’t available, use one of the following options for the remote agents:
o A remote agent who runs Jabber with MRA on one client machine and the Finesse desktop with a VPN connection on a second client machine.
o A remote agent who runs a Jabber softphone on a laptop that is connected over MRA and runs the Finesse desktop as a Xenapp thin client on the same laptop.
— Jabber for VDI isn’t supported in Video Contact Center deployments.
— Jabber Multiline feature is supported from CCE 11.6.
— For Cisco Jabber software compatibility details, see the Planning guide for Cisco Jabber at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/jabber-windows/products-installation-guides-list.html.
■ The phone models that are on end-of-life plan and have reached the end of maintenance for CUCM Release 14 will no longer register. For more information on the end-of-life phones, see the Field Notices at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-field-notices-list.html.
Callers outside of the enterprise's network can use the following endpoints:
■ Jabber for iOS
■ Jabber for Android
This Unified CCE release supports the following IdPs:
Identity Providers |
Versions |
Microsoft AD FS (Active Directory Federation Services) |
AD FS 5.0: Windows Server 2019 AD FS 4.0: Windows Server 2016 AD FS 3.0: Windows Server 2012 R2 |
PingFederate |
8.2.2.0 |
OpenAM |
10.0.1 |
Shibboleth |
3.3.0 |
F5 |
13 |
Besides the IdPs listed above, Unified CCE supports all SAML 2.0 compliant IdPs. See the documentation of your IdP for details on configuring the IdP in CCE.
Notes
■ CCMP and Cisco Unified Contact Center Domain Manager (CCDM), Release 12.5 support Microsoft AD FS 2012 R2 and 2016 with WS-Federation via JSON Web Token (JWT). However, user authentication access for CCMP and CCDM can be provided by one of the supported IdPs via Federated Trust with Microsoft AD FS. Federated Trust is supported per Microsoft AD FS and third-party IdP documentation and support.
■ Kerberos is supported for single-domain authentication (non-federated environments). Kerberos isn’t supported on HCS for CC.
■ For ECE:
— Agent-based users have the same compatibility as Cisco IDS.
— Supervisors outside Cisco Finesse support any SAML 2.0 complaint IDP.
The Unified CCE database access encrypts SQL user authentication using TLS, but the data connection isn’t encrypted.

Note: Cisco does not test consecutive Nuance Service Packs and relies on Nuance to follow standard release practices and avoid making significant changes or updates in Service Pack releases. As Service Packs typically contain defect fixes, enhancements, and improvements, Nuance highly recommends keeping up to date with Service Packs and staying within a supported release according to their "On Premise Service Pack Deprecation and Support Policy." Nuance Support should be contacted should any issues arise with a Service Pack application, and a rollback plan be in place for any updates, as per industry best practices.
