Problem Statement / Definition

The client’s legacy contact center platform constrained routing flexibility, native analytics, and agent experience for its guest and customer service operations. Leadership needed to modernize onto Amazon Connect without disrupting live production call volume and needed a clear, governed decision on which CRM, telephony, and AI capabilities to build immediately versus in a later phase. 

Proposed Solution & Architecture

A parallel-run deployment of Amazon Connect covering agent seats, launched alongside the legacy platform to ensure a safe cutover. The build included an Amazon Connect instance with queues, routing profiles, and representative inbound contact flows (DID routing, overflow control, business-hours/holiday logic, transfers, and callback handling); the native Connect agent workspace with structured agent training; Contact Lens for real-time and historical analytics dashboards; and a security baseline of least-privilege AWS IAM roles, encryption at rest and in transit, and AWS CloudWatch monitoring. CRM (Salesforce CTI), telephony/SBC interconnect, and AI (Lex/Bedrock) integrations were evaluated against readiness criteria and sequenced into a phased roadmap.

Outcomes of Project & Success Metrics

  • Delivered on schedule with no slip against the committed plan 
  • All committed baseline deliverables completed and accepted 
  • All milestone gates passed 
  • Agent seats configured and trained for the pilot population 
  • Representative routing scenarios validated end-to-end against the legacy platform 
  • No open critical or high-severity defects at launch; remaining low-severity items resolved or deferred with documented disposition 
  • Steering Committee approved go-live and a phased roadmap 

Describe TCO Analysis Performed

Implementation was funded through a combination of standard AWS partner funding and RSNA Cloud Connect delivery funding, with no direct cost to the customer prospect. AWS service usage costs for the environment were tracked separately in a companion AWS Cost Estimator workbook. Full ongoing operational TCO is being scoped as part of the next phase of planning. 

Lessons Learned

Separating committed baseline scope from conditional integration scope — through a mandatory technical discussion requiring a named owner, approved architecture, access, test data, and acceptance criteria for each integration — kept CRM, telephony, and AI readiness gaps from putting the delivery timeline at risk. Running the deployment in parallel with a tested rollback path allowed full validation of routing and agent readiness with zero exposure to live production call volume for the customer prospect. Cross-training a secondary resource removed key-person dependency, and freezing the build ahead of testing protected a full, uncompressed testing window before go-live.

Tag Related Services / Programs / Competencies (Updated Selections)

✓ Amazon Connect is now correctly included in Related Services — this matches the delivery report.

✓ Related Programs (Managed Service, Well Architected Program) both align with the delivered solution’s security baseline and support model.

⚠ Amazon API Gateway still isn’t mentioned anywhere in the delivery report — the solution used Amazon Connect, Contact Lens, AWS IAM, and AWS CloudWatch only. Consider removing it, or swap in AWS CloudTrail/AWS CloudFormation if either was actually used for the pilot environment build.

⚠ Machine learning competency still doesn’t match—the delivery report explicitly defers Lex/Bedrock (the AI/ML components) to Phase 2. Nothing ML-related shipped in this delivery. Cloud operations software is a good fit and can stay; machine learning should likely be removed unless there’s ML work outside this report.
