FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

Intelligent call processing

Static recorded announcement

Provides you with the ability to create and provide callers in queue with pre-recorded announcements.

 

RADs are an inexpensive and effective way to provide general information to customers on hold. They support “good” abandoned calls, by providing information without the caller having to speak with an agent.

 

 

 

 

MiTAI integration

The addition of MiTAI provides Intelligent Queue with the ability to deliver flexible ports. MiTAI is used by Intelligent Queue to monitor its ports.

 

MiTAI provides call control event notification to Intelligent Queue when a call is received. MiTAI also allows the system to redirect a call from an Intelligent Queue port without first answering the call.

 

 

 

 

VoIP integration on the 3300 ICP, SX-200 ICP

With IP device licenses you can implement Intelligent Queue on the 3300 ICP and SX-200 ICP without analog integration.

 

You no longer require dialogic cards and analog ONS ports on the 3300 ICP and SX-200 ICP which results in cost savings. Sixty VoIP ports are supported on Intelligent Queue.

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

 

Music on hold

You can play music (audio CD, stored WAV file, and stored MP3 file) through the sound card using a rotating (loop) playlist. The playlist can include music or prerecorded information messages.

 

 

Music on hold retains callers’ interest while on hold—a key feature to achieving first contact resolution.

 

 

 

 

Intelligent Queue system administration via phone

(creating recordings, changing the system mode)

Intelligent Queue enables you to record announcements or change the Emergency Mode status using the phone. When you record new system prompts, they are stored in a temporary "Inbox" folder until you name the message and assign it to an action or message plan via the Web interface.

 

 

 

 

You need not purchase and set up a microphone to record your Intelligent Queue messages – you just need a phone.

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

 

Alarms for critical functions

Intelligent Queue integrates with Network Monitor when used in conjunction with Contact Center Management so you can configure alarms for critical functions of Intelligent Queue, such as audio failure.

 

Know immediately if an Intelligent Queue function goes down – so you can get Intelligent Queue back up-and-running right away to prevent lost calls.

 

 

 

 

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

Messaging and reporting

Time in queue messaging

Provides callers with expected wait times and position in queue.

 

Manages caller expectations and enables callers to choose whether or not to stay in queue, reducing caller frustration.

 

 

 

 

Unlimited layers for interactive trees

Interactive Trees can capture all departments and potential customer requirements with unlimited sub-menus.

 

 

Ensure customers can reach the departments they need to obtain the information they want.

 

 

 

^ back to the top

 

Voice Trees (Smart Choice)

Performs automated attendant operations to guide callers to the most appropriate information, Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) path or extension.

 

Routes callers to the best agents or resources to handle their calls, saving the time required in manual transfers.

 

 

 

 

Post choice greetings

Intelligent Queue has the ability to play a greeting after a customer has made a choice in the interactive tree and prior to being transferred.

 

 

Dynamic greetings provide customers with information that may discourage them from abandoning. For example, you can play a greeting that confirms the customer's choice and states the expected wait time, such as, "Thank you for selecting Technical Support. Your expected wait time is 2 minutes, 48 seconds."

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

 

Expected wait time messaging

You can now base time in queue messaging on the expected wait time, in addition to providing a customer with the current number of callers in queue, or the current longest waiting caller. (Average Talk Time X Current Calls Waiting)/Agents Available = Expected Wait Time)

 

Expected wait times enable customers to make informed choices: wait in queue, leave a voice message, or hang up.

 

 

 

 

Flexible (dynamic) messaging/Routing ports

Ports can play messages, and interact with or route callers based on any combination of call properties such as the schedule (Time of Day/Day of Week/Day of Year), ANI (the number from which a call originates), DNIS (the number dialed), information forwarding (redirection), queue conditions, and/or operating mode. (You need to consider volume when determining port requirements.)

 

 

Flexibile messaging reduces the number of ports required when implementing Intelligent Queue. For example, if a contact center represents multiple organizations, Intelligent Queue can play a different message based on DNIS without requiring a dedicated port for each DNIS.

^ back to the top

Distinct queue profiles for callbacks

 

You can create distinct customer callback profiles based on the type of callback.

Profiles enable an agent to understand the origin of the callback request by providing a specific callback greeting to the customer, such as, "This is a callback from Company/Department ABC", and an introduction to the agent, such as, "This is a callback request from the ABC queue."

 

 

 

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

ANI/DNIS redirection

Smart Routing

Allows calls to be routed by Automatic Number Identification (ANI), time of day or current queue conditions.

 

Reduce wait times and ensure callers are matched with the agents best suited to meet their needs. Callers are routed to the most appropriate extension or ACD path based on flexible criteria.

 

 

 

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

Collect caller-entered digits—Agent Portal integration

For customers who are not identified by ANI, Intelligent Queue has the ability to request and collect caller-entered digits.

Digits are not verified against the customer database, but are passed through Agent Portal for the purposes of screen pops.

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

Verified collected digits NEW

 

Remote database verification and advanced routing based on ANI, DNIS, and user collected digits.

FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

BENEFIT

Agent call recording for quality monitoring

Intelligent Queue enables you to access administrative screens and record agents based on agent IDs or extensions. Calls are recorded into .WAV files in the order in which the extension IDs were entered and saved within the Intelligent Queue administration.

Save, delete, or export .WAV files for the purpose of quality monitoring. When this feature is in use, no one else can silent monitor the target agent. You require a dedicated port for each simultaneous recording.
