2 Agents Anywhere Agents at home or in the office, local or offshore are all handled in a uniform manner. Agent, supervisor, and administration GUIs are all securely accessible from anywhere in the world through a standard web browser with a high-speed Internet connection. The Agent Desktop provides office and ACD phone features such as multiple lines, conference, transfer, hold, mute, record, ready, after-call work, break, etc. with just a phone or softphone. Call Queue and Skills-based Priority Routing Each incoming dialed number can have its own IVR/routing script or share a script with another incoming number. A script can provide different routing strategies based upon the time-of-day, day-of-week and specific dates. An incoming call script can solicit DTMF input and/or use dialed number and calling line-id to make a direct routing decision. Alternatively, this information can be used to check the database or an external database to make a routing decision. The Contact Center can check if the queue is overloaded. If the queue threshold or overload is met, the call, chat or can be routed differently. Contact Center phone queues may offload inbound calls into voic if the queue gets overloaded. Inbound calls are routed to the agents with the highest skill level. If those agents are logged out, busy or otherwise unavailable, the call goes to the medium-skilled agents, and then the lowest-skilled agents. Customizable IVR The service includes IVR (Interactive Voice Response) capabilities managed through a web administrator interface. The IVR supports multi-tier menus, customer-entered digits, queue look-ahead logic for number of calls in queue and expected wait time. Multiple schedules with special day exceptions are supported in the IVR logic. Database dip results can be used to alter routing and call priority as well as being forwarded with the call to support intelligent screen pops. Each incoming channel (DNIS) can have its own IVR script and localized message set. Each queue or skill can have its own on-hold message. This supports varied applications including multi-language localizations. Testing can be done on test channels. Once the application is correct, a production channel can use the tested script. Changes can be made on-the-fly. 2

3 A key benefit of 8x8 s built-in IVR is its ease of use. 8x8 Virtual Contact Center provides the tools to easily manage schedules, prompts, announcements, database dips, skills and priorities.

4 Multimedia Queue Management Tools Advanced Service Level Alerting 8x8 supports separate service level objectives for each queue. Service level notifications can generate s whenever a target SLA is not met. This also extends to case management. If cases are stalled or have no activity, an alert can be triggered to notify a group of supervisors or administrators. Queued Phone Calls 8x8 allows customized audio files to be uploaded for in-queue waiting music. Phone queues also feature overload process rules which enable calls to follow an overload script if no agents are available, or if a predefined queue threshold has been reached. These overload scripts allow further action such as forwarding the call to voic or to an overload menu. Queued Chat Sessions Chat sessions initiated from a web page link are queued and distributed to agents. Queued scripts can be created to intelligently route s based on sender, recipient, keywords in subject line, and lookup CRM values/data. They are also scanned for viruses and spam. These s are placed into a queue and dynamically created as Customers and Cases and automatically assigned a new case number once accepted by the agent. Queued Fax Sessions 8x8 supports queued faxes through a third-party Internet fax service which sends the fax to an address configured for the. This service requires the custom CRM solution. Queued Voic Messages left in voic queues are associated with skills-based routing and delivered to the next available agent with the highest skill level. When the agent becomes available, the agent s phone will ring. Upon pickup, the voic will be played back to the agent. Optionally, the voic can also be delivered by . 4
