Mission
We understand Instant Chime will be deployed and managed as a part of a larger, more complex enterprise
IT ecosystem. Our design-centric approach focuses on ease of use in both the back and front end of the
solution. Instant customers leverage their existing Lync® framework with no additional heavy technology
lift for a clean installation process and a modern user interface so help desk agents can be up and
servicing employees quickly with minimal training.
Pricing
Chime integrates with your existing systems allowing you to extract more value out of your infrastructure investments.
With Chime you own both the application and the data. Chime pricing is based on a per-queue model according to
the number of agents you can invite into a session for support. With other solutions typically priced based on a
per agent/per year annual fee, costs can mount quickly. Our sliding scale supports an ROI based on increased agent
productivity and leveraging your existing IM and UC platform investment.
