When the assistant can’t finish, a person picks up.

Handover connects Oracle Digital Assistant to your support team in Microsoft Teams, so a colleague can take over the conversation with everything said so far.

Alex, in the HR assistantCan I talk to someone about my overtime?

The employee stays in their chat. Your colleague stays in Teams.

Follow one payroll question across the seam between them, from the moment Alex asks for a person to the moment the session ends.

  1. The employee asks for a person

    The assistant checks that support is available. Alex opens a new service request on the spot; choosing an open one works the same way.

  2. The request crosses into Teams

    A card lands in your team’s shared support chat: name, role, ID, the request and its category.

  3. Context before the first word

    Conversation history opens under the card. Long histories arrive with older turns summarised.

  4. One colleague accepts

    The first colleague free accepts. The card leaves the shared chat, so nobody picks it up twice.

  5. One word, your standard message

    Every message crosses between them. Sam types hold; Alex reads your team’s full holding message.

  6. A clean end on both sides

    Sam types end. Alex sees the chat close, and Sam’s place is free for the next request.

Step 1 of 6

Out of hours, a request instead of an empty queue.

Before any handover, the assistant checks whether support is available. If it isn’t, nobody is left waiting for a colleague who isn’t there: the assistant offers to create a service request for the team to pick up.

Someone already in a live chat keeps it. Move the time to see both replies.

Support is available
HR assistant

Can someone check my leave balance?

HR support is available. Is this about a request you already have open?

The handover goes ahead.

Built for any team behind an assistant.

Each colleague can hold up to eight live chats at once. If your assistant runs on Oracle Digital Assistant and your team works in Teams, the route fits.

  • Sam Lindgren3 of 8
  • Priya Natarajan6 of 8
  • Tom Reid1 of 8
Three colleagues in one support team, eight places each.
  • HR service

    Pay, leave and benefits questions that need a person with access to the record.

  • IT service desk

    Accounts, access and devices, when the fix needs someone on the system.

  • Finance operations

    Expenses, invoices and supplier queries that need a judgement call.

Plan the human route your assistant needs.

Bring these four answers to a 30-minute demo. We’ll show a handover running end to end and tell you what fitting it to your service involves.
