Company Definitions

At the base of the Emplifi Agent system is the concept of a company. One or more companies are always defined in Emplifi Agent.

Each company defined in Emplifi Agent can create and manage its own data, including:

  • Categories and codes

  • Data validation rules

  • Workflow configuration

  • Other company-specific settings

Every case created in Emplifi Agent is associated with a specific company. Some data can also be shared across companies when needed. Individual agents can be assigned to work cases for one or more companies.

To access the Company Definitions screen:

  • In Administration, select System Setup -> Company Definitions.

Creating multiple companies

The most common scenarios for configuring multiple companies are:

  • Contact centers where a single agent handles cases for multiple clients.

  • Large organizations that want to use Emplifi Agent across multiple divisions or business entities while sharing common data and enabling enterprise reporting.

Default SYS company

Every company is assigned a unique three-character ID in Emplifi Agent.

Emplifi Agent includes a default company named SYS. The SYS company cannot be removed because it contains shared system metadata and base configuration used across all companies.

In single-company environments, many customers choose to store all configuration under the SYS company. Others create a separate company ID for their primary business.

Your Emplifi implementation team can help determine the best setup for your environment.
