What is Cisco IPCC?
Cisco IPCC stands for IP-Based Contact Center. Cisco UCCX was previously called Cisco IPCC Express and UCCE was called IPCC Enterprise. Before the year 2000, all the call centers were hardware-intelligent; they had separate hardware circuits for different tasks and there was almost no IP connectivity. IP-Based Call Centers replaced this hardware intelligent platfforms with software intelligent systems, running on standard server hardware such as HP, Dell and IBM servers. Over the years, this has also evolved to virtual servers instead of dedicated server hardware.
Cisco UCCX also includes Interactive Voice Response (IVR) unit and Cisco Finesse Agent features. It works with two identical servers as active/idle.

So, the call is not abandoned or answered but taken out of the queue and sent to an alternate destination. This can be another queue or a phone number such as voicemail or outsourcer.
