MMC - Multi Media Callcenter

The unicope Multimedia Callcenter offers a professional communication interface to the customer, enabling you to respond to calls, faxes, e-mails and text messages quickly and effectively. The campaign creation and the dialer (agentsoftware) support the outbound operations and increase the efficiency of employees. Overall, the accessibility of the company will grow considerably and increases customer satisfaction. Unicope thus offers the best call center solution for companies of any size.

Queue
The implementation of the queue within the 1Unified server is one of the main advantages of the Multimedia Callcenter. In traditional callcenters, the queue is normally provided by the telephone system, which decreases the performance and thus causes higher hardware costs. On the one hand the software-based approach relieves the telephone system, on the other hand, it allows the expansion of the queue to a complete IVR application, which provides the caller the ability to input data that can be made available to the service staff, or used for distribution.

  • Switching for the longest waiting time of the call (first-in-first-out, adjustable)
  • Time based switching
  • Free parameterization by busy signal
  • Database access
  • Freely configurable menus
  • Freely configurable announcements
  • Freely adjustable (call-)flow
  • Switching (fixed or variable content)

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
The automatic call distribution (ACD) allocates automatically incoming calls in accordance of the criteria to the logged-in service staff. Beside the group-based distribution exist the opportunities, to establish a skills-based call distribution, a contact-based distribution (Gold Partner and VIP routing) or a call distribution on load or priority. The broad definition of threshold rules (service level, number of callers in queue, number of service staff) completes the functions of the automatic call distribution.

  • Variations of call distribution:
    - Group-based
    - Skill-based
    - Contact-based (Gold-/Partner-/VIP-Routing)
    - Load/priority
  • Automatic connection to the last agent
  • "Preferred" agent with information from ERP / CRM systems
  • Definition of threshold rules
    - Service-level
    - Number of callers in the queue
    - Number of service staff

Automatic Message Distribution (AMD)
The automatic message distribution (AMD) supports any type of incoming messages according to the set criteria. These are automatically distributed to the logged-in service staff. If there is no reaction to the message within a predetermined time period, the system can trigger an alarm, e.g. for information to the supervisor. If a service employee logs off, and a message that was distributed to him, then it will be assigned to another service employee. Beside group-based distribution, there is the possibility of establishing a skill-based and a contact-based message distribution.

  • Supports all kinds of messages (e-mail, fax, voicemail, SMS)
  • Automatic distribution to the agents
  • Group-/contact- and skill-based distribution
  • Alarm function at non-response to a message to the supervisor

Supervisor Software
The ACD Supervisor provides as well as the configuration of all relevant parameters of the multimedia callcenter (such as e.g. the definition of service employees, the group distribution list, the campaigns, all threshold rules, the rental of service staff), and the configurable monitoring of the callcenter in real time with the display of a variety of relevant values down to the service staff level (e.g. service level, status of service employees, queue status). The configuration includes the ability to save individual-created views and load them if needed. The ACD supervisor is a program for the generation of online information about current events within the ACD system. As a Windows based application, the program has an easy to use interface and supports the supervisor of an ACD system as well as for routine procedures in the current ACD system, and the fast resource management in times of high call volumes.

  • Supervision of technical and human resources of an ACD system (agents, groups, queues, trunk lines, campaigns).
  • Display of statistical information and real-time information
  • User configurable views for monitoring resources
  • Threshold control of the entire ACD System
  • Definition of alarms (visual and acoustic signaling)
  • Management of campaigns
  • Imparting agents under bottlenecks
  • Change agent state (log-in, ready, break, etc.)

Agent software
The agent software of the Multimedia Callcenter is fully oriented for an ergonomic operation of the agent. Beside the classical functions such as answering calls, the agent can also log-in and -out to the Callcenter or change the status (ready, break, wrap up, etc.). The well-arranged display of the logged-in groups, the assigned calls and messages (e-mail, fax, voicemail, SMS) make the agent software to an easy to use tool that is essential for a productive callcenter agent. The widespread campaign functionality offers beside the classic application also a lost call campaign function and completes so the scale of the agent software.

  • Log-in and -off at the callcenter
  • Make and answer phone calls (CTI - Computer Telephony Integration)
  • Change the current agent status over a telephone function key, the client software or the voicemail menu
  • Display the number of incoming calls and messages
  • Start calls in campaigns with one single mouse click
  • Lost call campaign function
  • One client for all types of messages (e-mail, fax, voicemail, SMS)

Campaign Functionality
The Multimedia Callcenter supports the implementation of campaigns. This is a list of phone numbers that can be called by the agents. The definition of a campaign takes place in the supervisor software. There, the call lists of a campaign can either be entered manually as well as imported from different lists. A campaign can then be assigned to one or more groups. The appropriate agents can then pick these orders from the call lists and block them at the same time, so that two agents cannot simultaneously work on the same order. The appropriate agents log-on to the system and signalling their readiness to accept campaign orders. If there exist such orders, they are assigned to an agent for processing. For other agents such orders are then locked. If an agent has accomplished an order, he notes it as processed. The supervisor software allows any time to view the status of a campaign and define statistics on completed and ongoing campaigns.

Campaign in power mode (Power Dialling)
In addition to this ,from the perspective of the agent, active mode, there is also a passive mode, in which the agents receive the orders automatically assigned. This mode is called power mode. The behavior if the agents in campaigns are active or passive, is determined by the agent software.

Reporting
The reporting module saves all relevant information and statistics for the callcenter in a database and makes them available for retrieval. To save the data, different SQL-databases are supported. This allows a long-term preservation and a dealing with very large amounts of data.v The reporting module can generate attractive reports at specified intervals or on demand from these data. By using Crystal-Reports, it is possible to create custom reports in the desired layout and content. The ACD data is saved in default in a MSDE-database and can then be evaluated custom-personalized and freely configurable via the integrated reporting module of the Multimedia Callcenter. The standard reports that unicope provides with the Multimedia Callcenter are based on the most common report-needs of our customers. In addition to the standard reporting tool any other reporting engine that provides access to SQL-database can be used.

Wall Display
The Wall Display Module allows to control one or multi-cell display panels, on which important information such as for example the service level or the number of callers in the queue can be displayed. These content can be defined flexibly in a configuration file.
