Chapter 12 Automatic Call Distribution with MISPage 12- 4 NEAX 2000 IPS Request for Proposal (RFP) Reference GuideNDA-24349, Issue 4The CallCenterWorX ACD 3.0 for Business suite includes the Automatic Call Distribution(ACD) system and the Management Information System (MIS 3.0). The ACD systemsupplements the call processing capabilities of the PBX, with typical call routing designed toconnect each caller with the most appropriate agent to handle their call in the shortest timepossible.When the CallCenterWorX ACD system accepts a call, it can be configured to play a messageto the caller and route the call in a pre-specified order to a queue of waiting calls for aparticular split (group of agents). The queued call is then answered in sequence by the nextavailable agent in that split. The Call Control Vectors of the CallCenterWorX ACD system allowgreat flexibility in routing calls, permitting alternate solutions to fit almost any situation.As each call progresses through the system, the CallCenterWorX ACD system provides datato the CallCenterWorX MIS 3.0, which translates the call-handling data into meaningfulstatistics. The MIS uses these statistics to offer call center managers and supervisors accessto real-time and historical data concerning incoming and outgoing call volume.The CallCenterWorX MIS Status Screens (Real-time Screens) provide color-coded, up-to-the-second views of agent, queue, and system activity. Statistics on the call volume and agenteffectiveness are computed in real-time and are displayed for the current hour and day onsupervisors’ screens. Optional wall display boards can show current statistics and messagesto call center personnel.The call statistics are also collected in the MIS database and used to generate reports in textor graphical format.
