Third-Party applications

All third-party CTI applications are supported by Avaya IP600, except for those that require adjunct routing. The following is a list of some CTI applications that are currently available. Availability varies by country.

•Intuition

Intuition is designed to be a cost-effective software application providing easier entry into CTI for small Call Center customers. Intuition automates the business process by using sophisticated rules-based intelligence. It “listens” for events such as inbound and outbound calls, Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), hot key and time-based events, then applies the rules you define. For example, you can define an Intuition Rule that runs a script or opens a spreadsheet when you get a call from a stockbroker.

While Intuition is similar to Sixth Sense, Intuition integrates closely with SoftPhone Agent v.5 and includes the following features:

~Script Recorder for creating scripts by recording user keystrokes

~Simulation for telephony events

~Auto-attendant support for scriptless call handling

~Enhanced User Interface

•FastCall Agent 3.0

FastCall Agent is the next generation of Avaya’s CTI middleware product called FastCall. The new release is designed to offer even easier installation and usability. FastCall Agent provides a broad range of CTI functionality without requiring changes to applications or development of custom software programs.

FastCall Agent resides between the telephone system and computer applications – thus the term “middleware.” This approach allows the agent to enable these applications with inbound and outbound CTI capabilities without computer code changes within the application itself. This provides a great degree of flexibility for companies with multiple departments, particularly when each department has a different application.

In addition, changes to the application do not affect FastCall Agent. FastCall Agent can be reconfigured to adapt to a new application quickly and easily. FastCall Agent “screen pops” populate a call center agent’s Windows-based application screen based on the calling number (ANI), called number (DID, DNIS, ACD group, or other telephone system identifier), or the caller’s touch tone input as the incoming call is received. These applications could include databases, help desk packages, sales force automation programs, personal information managers (PIMs), contact managers, word processors, spreadsheets, customized inquiry systems, or a combination of these applications.
