Enterprise CX & CTI Systems Integration

CX Platforms Evolve Fast. Your Integrations Shouldn't Fall Behind.

Dongle SI builds and hosts dongles — CTI, screen-pop, and data connectors — that link any open-API CCaaS or UCaaS platform to the ERP, banking, healthcare, and HR systems your agents depend on, so every call opens with the right record and nothing breaks when a platform ships its next release.

The problem

Your agents shouldn't alt-tab through five systems to answer one call.

Modern CX platforms ship fast. The systems of record behind them — ERPs, core banking, EHRs — don't. The gap gets filled with brittle scripts, stalled professional-services projects, and agents hunting for context while customers wait. We close that gap with dongles we build, host, and keep current.

Hosted, Zero-Maintenance Dongles

We run the middleware. When your CX platform, Oracle, or Microsoft ship an API change, we absorb it — no servers for your IT team to patch, no integration debt piling up after go-live.

  • ✓ Managed upgrades & version pinning
  • ✓ 24/7 health monitoring
Core focus

Zoom-Deep, Platform-Agnostic

Zoom Contact Center and Zoom Phone are our home turf. But dongles don't care about the brand — they plug into any CCaaS or UCaaS platform with open APIs, from RingCentral and Five9 to Genesys Cloud, Dialpad and NICE CXone.

  • ✓ Screen-pop on ring, not after pickup
  • ✓ Write-back of call outcomes & notes

Any Modern Open API

Homegrown portal, niche vertical SaaS, or a legacy system with a REST wrapper — if it exposes REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or webhooks, we can connect it to your contact center.

  • ✓ Custom field mapping & lookups
  • ✓ Fixed-scope builds, clear timelines

The dongle rack

Plug your contact center into the systems that run your business.

Each dongle is a hosted, pre-built integration that snaps your CCaaS or UCaaS platform onto a system of record — covering the lookups and write-backs most contact centers need on day one, with room to extend.

Invictus Virtual CTI The Salesforce LWC bridge for life after Open CTI

“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”
Invictus — Latin for “unconquered.” From William Ernest Henley's poem of the same name.

Salesforce is retiring Open CTI and steering customers toward Service Cloud Voice (now Salesforce Voice). If your contact center runs on Zoom, Genesys or NICE, you shouldn't have to re-platform your voice stack — or pay twice for it — to keep agents working in Salesforce. Invictus Virtual CTI is our enterprise-grade escape hatch: your CCaaS, your architecture, your call.

  • Future-proof LWC architecture

    Built entirely on modern Salesforce Lightning Web Components (LWC), with no dependency on Open CTI APIs — so it’s immune to the February 2028 Open CTI retirement.

  • CCaaS platform agnostic

    Keep your preferred contact center stack — Zoom Contact Center, Genesys Cloud, NICE CXone — fully integrated, without Service Cloud Voice add-on licensing or per-minute usage fees.

  • Advanced screen-pops & auto-logging

    Instant record matching, dynamic multi-tab routing in the Service Console, and zero-touch activity and disposition logging straight into Salesforce objects.

Traditional CTI vs. Invictus Virtual CTI

Beyond the Escape Hatch: Why Invictus Delivers More

Traditional CTI is trapped by the February 2028 Open CTI expiration and expensive Salesforce voice tolls. Invictus Virtual CTI delivers a modern, expanded architectural advantage.

8 / 8 categories where Invictus leads

Underlying architecture

Traditional CTI

Legacy Open CTI frames

Deprecated, in maintenance mode, and scheduled to stop working Feb 28, 2028.

Invictus Virtual CTI

100% LWC-native + middleware bridge

No dependency on Open CTI APIs. Future-proof past the 2028 sunset.

Cost & licensing

Traditional CTI

Service Cloud Voice bundling

The post-sunset path pushes you into Salesforce voice add-on licensing and per-minute usage fees.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Platform agnostic, no Salesforce voice fees

Keep your preferred CCaaS stack — Zoom, Genesys or NICE CXone — and the contracts you already have.

Softphone UI

Traditional CTI

Rigid, vendor-locked iframes

A third-party page embedded in Salesforce, styled and scoped by the vendor.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Modern, tailored LWC utility bar

A native Lightning component shaped around your agents' workflow.

Screen-pops & context

Traditional CTI

Basic ANI/DNIS matching

Pops a single record by phone number or dialed number.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Advanced contextual routing

Matches across standard and custom objects, with dynamic multi-tab console layouts.

Activity logging

Traditional CTI

Static metadata tasks

A task with call time and duration; notes typed by hand.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Zero-touch rich logging + custom payload sync

Dispositions, notes, recording links and custom fields written back automatically.

AI & transcriptions

Traditional CTI

Locked behind native tiers

AI summaries and transcripts typically require paid Salesforce Einstein or Service Cloud Voice tiers.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Ingest AI from your CCaaS

Summaries and transcripts flow in from the stack you already pay for, where your platform provides them.

Architectural control

Traditional CTI

Multi-tenant black box

Shared infrastructure you can't inspect, isolate or place.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Dedicated single-tenant or VPC options

Deploy where your security and compliance teams require.

Extensibility

Traditional CTI

Difficult to extend

Voice data stays in its lane; connecting other systems means custom one-offs.

Invictus Virtual CTI

Open middleware hookpoints

Bridge ERPs and custom databases alongside voice events — the same platform as every Dongle SI dongle.

Don't just replace Open CTI. Outgrow it.

We'll map your current softphone, screen-pops and logging to Invictus and show you what you gain.

For CX product AEs & partners

Don't let an integration question stall your deal.

When a prospect asks "does it connect to our core system?", bring us in. We give CCaaS and UCaaS AEs, resellers, and CX partners a dedicated channel for technical validation, pilots, and delivery — so the answer is "yes, here's the plan."

Email the Partner Team
01

Clear technical roadblocks

Join discovery and solution calls as your integration SMEs. We answer the hard CTI and data-flow questions live, in front of the buyer.

02

Rapid pilot turnaround

Pre-built dongles mean pilots stand up in weeks, not quarters — proof in the customer's environment before the contract is signed.

03

Full-lifecycle SI support

Scoping, build, UAT, go-live, and ongoing hosting. Your customer gets one accountable integration partner after the deal closes.

We don't compete for your platform deal. We're an integration partner, not a CCaaS vendor — our job is to help the platform you're selling win and stick.

About Dongle SI

Built by people who've wired contact centers into enterprise systems for years.

Aaron Oliver

Chief Solutions Architect

Aaron owns dongle architecture and technical delivery — from stateless routing design to the security model behind every hosted integration. He brings deep experience connecting telephony platforms to enterprise CRM and back-office systems, and directs the global development bench.

Security & architectural standards

Designed to pass the security review, not just the demo.

Every dongle runs on the same hardened, broker-only architecture — and deploys the way your security team requires, from our hosted platform to a gateway inside your own network.

Stateless data routing

Requests are brokered in memory between platform and system of record. No customer databases, no caches of record data.

Mutual TLS & OAuth2

End-to-end encryption in transit with mTLS between services and scoped OAuth2 tokens for every upstream system.

99.99% availability SLA

Multi-zone, active-active deployment with health checks and graceful degradation so a slow upstream never blocks a call.

Zero-PHI/PII retention

Logs are scrubbed of personal and health data by design. Payloads pass through; they're never written to disk.

Deployment options

Built for institutional review and HIPAA governance.

Hospital security and compliance teams rarely approve shared infrastructure for PHI. Every deployment model keeps the same zero-retention, stateless routing — you choose where it runs and who it's shared with.

  • Business Associate Agreements
  • Security questionnaires & architecture reviews
  • Customer-controlled keys, network rules & audit logs

Hosted

Managed multi-tenant

Our hosted broker for non-PHI and lower-sensitivity workloads. Stateless, zero-retention, fully managed.

Single-tenant

Dedicated instance

An isolated Dongle SI instance for one organization — no shared compute, no multi-tenant PHI exposure.

VPC gateway

Inside your cloud

“The Virtual Dongle” runs in your AWS, Azure or GCP VPC, so PHI never leaves your network boundary.

On-prem

Behind your firewall

A gateway deployed in your data center for EHRs and systems that can't be exposed to the internet.
