INTRODUCTION WHAT IS TEAM MANAGER? TeamManager allocates all Skype for Business channels to teams and/or divisions. They are delivered to the team members in a presence-oriented and location-independent manner. TeamManager assures improved reachability of the secretary s offi ce, the sales department or expert teams. The routing solution allows expert teams to be mapped within an ACD (Automatic Call Distribution) solution to ensure higher service availability. Like LUCS, TeamManager is also integrated natively with Skype for Business. This inexpensive, easily integrable and scalable software provides various routing options for chat, voice and video. Using workfl ows, the call fl ow can be created easily via drag & drop. In this process, parameters may be defi ned, which can be changed by the team administrators (e.g. announcements, redirection numbers, waiting time, etc.). In addition, TeamManager offers a comprehensive reporting feature, allowing the data to be integrated into the company s internal data warehouse or to be analyzed comfortably within Excel. With solutions that also include a contact center, TeamManager can be used for implementing an overfl ow path to available teams in case of high capacity utilization.

FEATURE COMPARISON WHAT DOES TEAMMANAGER OFFER? TeamManager supplements Skype for Business with the concept of teams and is integrated natively with Skype for Business. A team is represented as an account, analogous to a staff contact. This yields the following benefits: 1 2 3 4 A team becomes visible through a status The team status is calculated from the statuses of the individual team members. This means, a team is available for as long as at least one team member is available. If all team members are busy or absent, the team status is adjusted correspondingly. The team can be addressed via a contact When trying to reach the team, the chances of reaching a free team member upon first contact are increased. All Skype for Business channels are supported A conversation may be started via chat, for instance, and then continued via voice or video, and even desktop sharing may be involved to provide support. The caller always sees the name of the team By indicating the name of the team instead of that of a team member the caller can be prevented from trying to contact a team member directly later on.
