2 Contact Center Feature Key Elements There are several key elements of the SV9100 contact center capabilities. The contact center features are embedded in SV9100 software and enabled through the purchase of Premium User Licenses or the addition of the Contact Center Module. Programming of the contact center feature set is performed in the SV9100 like any other feature on the system. The addition of the Optional Contact Center Module enables real-time data to be displayed, the implementation of skill based or Caller ID based routing, and statistical data to be gathered, stored and used to generate reports. Contact Center RT-Reporting licenses enable up to a total of 16 supervisors to simultaneously view Contact Center activity in real-time and generate reports. The software can run on an SV9100 application blade or a customer provided external server. To add flexibility to the Call Center solution, an agent station can be any terminal supported on the SV9100.

3 Contact Center Components Adding Contact Center to your SV9100 solution is easy. Agent functionality and CRM integration software is included in every Premium User License purchased. The Contact Center Module provides Supervisor Real-Time Monitoring and reporting. The bundle includes: Support and licensing for up to 20 agents MIS license activation Historical reporting Skill-Based Routing Caller ID based routing Up to 4 of the 16 total supervisors with real-time reporting and monitoring licenses can be running reports simultaneously.

4 Call Center Capacities The SV9100 will support up to 896 agents and 64 groups, 64 group supervisors and 1 system supervisor. The addition of the optional Contact Center Module provides support for up to 16 supervisor real-time monitor licenses, skill based and Caller ID based routing, and 19 standard reports.

5 Delay Announcements The VRS, Voice Response System, can be licensed on the SV9100 to provide 2 delay announcements per group with a maximum of 100 messages for callers to hear while waiting in queue. When listening to a VRS delay announcement, the caller can press a 1-key option to dial out of queue and transfer to an extension, Voice Mail, Ring Group, another CC Group, or to a Speed Dial bin. Multiple groups can share an announcement and each can be repeated up to 256 times, so there should never be a shortage of delay announcements. If the VRS and InMail voice messaging solution are both present in the system, the 32 available routing mailboxes in the InMail can be used with the VRS to provide announcements for contact center overflow modes assigned delayed messages. Note that when both are installed, the incoming voice ports are shared and dynamically allocated as required.

6 Contact Center Module The Contact Center Module software consists of a series of Windows-based screens designed to enhance the supervisor role by displaying real-time data and providing access to reporting tools. This module is designed to manage improving efficiencies and responsiveness through a costeffective method of capturing, displaying, and reporting contact center group call traffic and staff activity. This aids in evaluating resource requirements and agent performance.

7 Contact Center Features Your Business can determine how, when and where calls are routed and queued. Incoming trunk calls can automatically route to specific Call Center Groups. These types of calls ring directly into a Group without being transferred by a co-worker or the Automated Attendant. When all agents in a Group are unavailable, an incoming call will queue and cause the Queue Status Display to occur on the Group Supervisor s display. The display helps the supervisor keep track of the traffic load within their group. The Queue Status Display shows the number of calls queued for an available agent in the group, the trunk that has been waiting the longest, and how long it has been waiting. For each Group, you can set the number of callers that can wait in queue before the Queue Status Display occurs, how often the time in queue portion of the display reoccurs, and if the supervisor should hear a Queue Alarm whenever the time in queue portion reoccurs. The queue alarm is a single beep tone that reminds the supervisor to check the condition of the queue.

8 Contact Center Features The SV9100 offers extensive overflow options for each Contact Center Group. For example: A caller ringing in when all agents are unavailable can hear an initial or 1 st announcement. This announcement can be a general greeting like, Thank you for calling. All of our agents are currently busy. Please stay on the line and we will be with you shortly. If the caller continues to wait, you can have them hear a 2 nd announcement such as, Your business is important to us. Please stay on the line. The 2 nd announcement can be repeated up to 256 times. If agents in the original Call Center Group remain unavailable, the call can automatically overflow to another Call Center Group, Voice Mail, a non-call Center extension or ring group, or off- premise. If all agents in the overflow destination Group are busy, Look Back Routing Automatically Ensures that the waiting call will ring into the first agent in either group that becomes free. The Queue Depth can be played after the 1st Announcement only, 2 nd Announcement only, or after both Announcements. When a call overflows to another Contact Center Group and is answered, the system tracks the call as if it had originated at the second Group. If, however, the call overflows to voice mail, a non-contact Center extension or off-premise, the statistics show the call as overflowed with no further data.

9 Contact Center Features Let s look at a few of the Key Features associated with this application. Contact Center Agents can log in and log out of their Contact Center Group. While logged in, the agent is available to receive Contact Center Group calls. When logged out, the agent is excluded from the group calls. The programmable keys and Alphanumeric Display on an agent telephone show at a glance when they are logged in or logged out. An Agent Identity Code allows agents to log in any extension or log in to multiple groups at the same time. The system also allows all extensions (up to the system maximum) to log in using the same Agent Identity Code. The Headset Operation allows an Agent or Group Supervisor to utilize a customer-provided or SIGNET provided headset in place of the handset. The headset conveniently frees up the user s hands for other work and provides privacy while on the call. In addition, an Agent with a headset can have Automatic Answer. This allows an agent currently busy on a call to automatically connect to the next waiting call when they hang up. If an Agent needs assistance with a caller, they can place an Emergency Call to their Group Supervisor. Once the supervisor answers the Emergency Call, they automatically monitor both the Agent and the caller. If the agent needs assistance, the supervisor can join in the conversation. Emergency Call can be a big help to inexperienced Agents that need technical advice or assistance with a difficult caller. The supervisor can easily listen to the conversation and then jump in if the situation gets out of hand.

10 Contact Center Features Rest Mode, also referred to as Off-Duty or Break Mode. This feature is used to temporarily logout a Contact Center agent s telephone. Rest mode can be set automatically by the system or manually by the agent. When a group is set up for Automatic Rest Mode, the system will place an agent s telephone in Rest Mode if it isn t answered removing it from receiving additional calls. When the agent returns, they will need to manually cancel Rest Mode to begin receiving group calls again. Work Time temporarily busies-out an agent s telephone so they can work at their desk uninterrupted. There are two types of work time: Automatic Work Time can be set to start automatically when an agent ends a call or set Manual Work Time to enable agents to enter work time whenever they need to work at their desk undisturbed. Typically agents assigned tasks other than answering contact center calls during a normal business day, will invoke Work Time so they do not receive contact center calls. The Programmable Wrap-up Timer automatically starts when an agent finishes a contact center call to give them time to complete important logs and records before a new call comes in. When the timer expires, the system returns the agent to the Contact Center Group to handle new callers.

11 Agent Clients in Unified Communications Suite UC Suite users that are Contact Center Agents can perform Contact Center functions from the Unified Communications Client. Agents can change their Contact Center states like Login, Logout, Wrap Up and Rest, view realtime queue statistics, monitor Contact Center states for other agents, receive abandon call alerts, and initiate Emergency Call functions from the UC Client. Within the toolbar mode, this control appears to the right of the Presence selector. Within the Window mode, the Agent State control is positioned in the upper right of the main function menu. Unified Communications Suite with Contact Center Agent functionality requires a Premium User License and is not included in the Contact Center Module bundles.

18 Sample Reports Agent This slide shows examples of several agent reports. Agent reports can assist management in evaluating the performance of each individual agent as well as the overall performance of a group.

19 Sample reports by Queue This slide shows examples of several Queue reports. Queue reports provide valuable information about resources, service levels achieved, call traffic, and peak hours.

20 Sample Reports Abandoned This slide shows samples of abandoned calls reports. Management needs to be aware of the abandoned calls statistics because, high occurrences of abandoned calls are indicative of several problems within a contact center. An increase in abandoned calls could mean that sufficient resources have not been assigned or agent performance is down. Regardless of the reason, abandoned calls equate to lost revenue opportunities and poor customer service.
