Voice Response Integration

Integrates Call Vectoring with the capabilities of voice response units such as the
Lucent Technologies CONVERSANT Voice Information System. Yo u can also inte-
grate a voice response unit with ACD. All this provide s a variety of advantages.
For example, while a call is queued, a caller can listen to product information via
an audiotext application or can complete an interactive v oice-response transac-
tion. It may be possible to resolve the caller’s questions while the call is queued,
which helps reduce queuing time for other callers during peak times.

VuStats

VuStats presents Basic Call Management System (BCMS) statistics on telephone
displays. Agents, supervisors, call center managers , and other users can press a
button and view statistics for agents, splits or skills, VDNs, and trunk grou ps.
These statistics can help agents monitor their own performa nce or respond
appropriately to the caller’s request.
Hospitality Features
The following features are designed for use in the hospitali ty industry. Other fea-
tures listed elsewhere may be of use in this industry, however. The Attendant Cri-
sis Alert feature, for example, described in the Basic Fea tures section of this
appendix, is primarily used in lodging establishments. That feature is listed as a
basic feature because it is available on any system that ha s the appropriate
attendant console.

Attendant Room Status

Allows an attendant to see whether a room is vacant or occ upied and what the
housekeeping status of each room is. This feature is only available when you
have Enhanced Hospitality enabled for your system. This featu re combines the
property management capabilities of Check-In/Check-Out and Housekeeping
Status but does not require that you have a Property Management System.

Automatic Wakeup

Allows attendants, front desk users, and guests to request that a wakeup call be
placed automatically to a certain extension number at a lat er time. When a
wakeup call is placed and answered, the system can provide a recorded
announcement (which can be a speech synthesis announcement), music, or sim-
ply silence. With the Integrated Announcement feature, multiple announcem ents
enables international guests to use wakeup announcement s in a variety of lan-
guages.
