Figure 5: Enterprise and Peripheral Services
Peripheral services typically include a number of skill groups, each of
which can be set up to handle specific types of calls. For example,
within a Sales peripheral service you might have Spanish and Japanese
skill groups to support Sales calls from callers who speak these
languages.
Peripheral skill groups are skill groups that are tied to a specific ACD or
PBX. Each skill group contains a number of agents. Agents can be
assigned to one or more peripheral skill groups. Like services, skill
groups can be combined on an enterprise basis.
