Avaya Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes to Configure and Administer Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management R11.0 with Avaya Aura Contact Center R6.2 - Issue 1.0 Abstract The Application Notes document the configuration of Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workflow Management R11.0 with an Avaya Aura Contact Center R6.2. Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management simplifies the complex task of managing contact center forecasting and scheduling and maximizing skills and proficiencies of agents. Comprehensive contact center analytics and reporting, compliance recording and quality monitoring, workforce management, real-time and historical customer and operational data can be collected, organized, and analyzed allowing customers to make decisions faster, optimizing business processes and returns. Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through Solution and Interoperability Lab Full Stack testing and additional technical discussions. 1 of 41

1. Introduction Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization is a comprehensive solution portfolio for capturing and analyzing customer opinions and interactions with Avaya Aura Contact Center (AACC), i.e., Contact Recording, Quality Monitoring, Speech Analytics, and Customer Feedback. Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management R11.0 is a component of Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization that interfaces with Avaya Aura Contact Center R6.2 to collect data on call handling, agent availability and contact center statistics. Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management R11.0 includes powerful performance and personnel management functions, e-learning and analytics engines. No connection or interface is required to the underlying telecommunications infrastructure; Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management R11.0 directly retrieves call data from contact center database and reporting data tables. When fully operational and configured, Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management R11.0 can connect to multiple contact centers and manage real time or historical data related to customer/contact center interactions. 2. Interoperability Testing These application Notes are restricted to describing an Avaya Workforce Management R11.0 (WFM) configuration. Prior to commencing WFM configuration, server hardware should be checked against the specifications in the Customer Furnished Equipment Guide, see Section 8 for information. Installation of the Avaya Workforce Management R11.0 software components should be done in accordance with Avaya WFO Release R11.0 Administration Guide, see Section 8 for document details. 2.1. Test Description and Coverage WFM is installed on customer supplied servers running Windows 2008 R2 operating system (64 bit). Each server hosts a single platform. A platform is a logical grouping of server roles, i.e., Data Center, Framework Database and Reporting Framework Database. Several deployment models exist, the lowest being a single server installation of Consolidated/Data Center which encompasses several WFM system sub blocks (Databases, Web Services, Web Applications, Reporting Services and Framework Integration Services). Integration with AACC is via the WFM Framework Integration Service and uses a variety of interface adapters to extract data from the contact center. For the purposes of these Application Notes, a Level 1 installation (Consolidated/Data Center platform for single server solution) is the deployment model used, interfaced to an AACC (High Availability) installation and an Avaya Aura Communication Manager telephony solution. Configuration of the WFM installation was limited to functions and settings necessary to interface with AACC R6.2 and Communication Manager; and to obtain data and reports on contact center agent states and call handling. 2 of 41

2.2. Test Results and Observations The following observations and outcomes are brought to the attention of users to highlight unexpected actions observed when generating these Application Notes. When configuring Workforce Optimization Workforce Management, the Switch/Sub Type can be chosen from a drop down list. If the Avaya Communication Manager/Definity switch setting is chosen; when later configuring Data Source Groups, the Group Type setting can only be either VDN or Hunt Group. This may cause confusion if the AACC is a SIP contact center installation as these configuration settings are not correct for call handling in a SIP contact center. In a SIP contact center installation, call routing functions are handled by Session Manager using SIP messaging. Therefore, either the VDN or Hunt Group setting may be used. For these Application Notes, the VDN setting was chosen. 3. Reference Configuration The following diagram shows the network diagram for WFM. The WFM server is installed on the local LAN and connects to CCMS server using standard IP network protocols and database access methods. Figure 1: Avaya Aura Workforce Optimization Workforce Management installation 3 of 41
