class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Cisco PCCE Guide &#8211; Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise (PCCE)<\/strong> is Cisco&#8217;s prepackaged, enterprise-class contact center solution built on the same core engine as Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE), but delivered in a simplified, predesigned deployment model. It is purpose-built for organizations that want the power of Cisco&#8217;s enterprise contact center software without the complexity, custom sizing, and long deployment cycles typically associated with large-scale UCCE builds.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Packaged CCE combines omnichannel routing, self-service IVR, real-time and historical reporting, and a modern agent desktop into a single, easier-to-order package \u2014 making it one of the most widely deployed on-premises contact center platforms among mid-size to large enterprises running Cisco Collaboration infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This guide covers everything you need to know about Cisco PCCE: its architecture, core components, features, deployment models, licensing options, and up-to-date pricing under the Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_Up_Cisco_Packaged_Contact_Center_Enterprise\"><\/span>What Makes Up Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Packaged CCE is not a single piece of software \u2014 it is a bundled solution that combines several Cisco Contact Center Enterprise products into one prepackaged, easy-to-deploy architecture. Out of the box, PCCE includes:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE)<\/strong> \u2014 the core omnichannel routing and orchestration engine that enables customer journeys across voice, chat, email, and other channels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP)<\/strong> \u2014 the self-service and speech-enabled IVR platform used for call treatment, prompting, and automated customer interactions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM)<\/strong> \u2014 provides the underlying call control and telephony infrastructure for agent phones and endpoints.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cisco Unified Intelligence Center (CUIC)<\/strong> \u2014 the reporting and analytics engine, delivering standard and customizable historical and real-time reports.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cisco Finesse<\/strong> \u2014 a modern, browser-based agent and supervisor desktop that requires no client-side software installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Because these components ship together in a predesigned reference architecture, Cisco PCCE dramatically reduces the presales design effort, hardware footprint, and installation time compared to a fully custom Unified CCE deployment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Also Check<\/strong> &#8211;

PCCE uses predesigned, Cisco-validated reference architectures for faster deployment and a smaller hardware footprint, while UCCE supports fully custom, highly distributed architectures for the largest or most complex deployments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How is Cisco PCCE licensed?<\/strong> PCCE is licensed under the Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan Contact Center using a <strong>Concurrent Agent<\/strong> buying model, with <strong>Standard<\/strong> and <strong>Premium<\/strong> agent tiers. Supervisors and administrators always require a Premium Agent license.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How much does Cisco PCCE cost?<\/strong> Per Cisco&#8217;s published Flex 3.0 Contact Center price list, Standard Concurrent Agent licensing is listed at <strong>$38\/agent\/month<\/strong> and Premium Concurrent Agent licensing at <strong>$53\/agent\/month<\/strong> (MSRP), plus $20\/month for each additional CVP IVR port. Actual pricing depends on term length, committed volume, and partner discounting through Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Does PCCE support omnichannel (chat, email, social)?<\/strong> Yes. Email and web chat are included with the Premium Agent tier, along with social media customer care channels and Task Routing APIs for universal queuing across channels.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What agent desktop does PCCE use?<\/strong> Cisco Finesse \u2014 a browser-based agent and supervisor desktop that requires no client-side software installation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Can PCCE scale to large enterprises?<\/strong> Yes. Cisco&#8217;s reference designs allow PCCE to scale well beyond small deployments, and organizations that eventually outgrow PCCE&#8217;s reference-design limits can migrate to a fully distributed UCCE architecture.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Can I move from on-premises PCCE to the cloud later?<\/strong> Yes. Because PCCE is licensed under the Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan Contact Center, organizations can transition agents between on-premises, hosted (HCS-CCE), and cloud (Webex Contact Center \/ Webex Contact Center Enterprise) deployment models under a single subscription.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise remains one of the most capable on-premises contact center platforms available today, giving organizations enterprise-grade omnichannel routing, reporting, and self-service \u2014 in a package that&#8217;s dramatically faster to deploy than a fully custom Unified CCE build. With flexible Concurrent Agent licensing, a clear Standard-vs-Premium feature structure, and a defined migration path to hosted or cloud deployment through the Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan, PCCE gives enterprises a future-proof way to modernize their contact center without a rip-and-replace of their existing Cisco Collaboration investment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For an exact, current quote, work with a Cisco Certified Partner or your Cisco account team to generate pricing through Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW), based on your specific agent count, term, and feature mix.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Sources: Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise product page (cisco.com), Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan Contact Center Data Sheet, Cisco Collaboration Flex 3.0 Contact Center Ordering Guide, and Cisco Solution Design Guides for Packaged Contact Center Enterprise.
