Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
If your company has departments (such as sales, billing, or customer service)
that handle large volumes of incoming calls, you can benefit by using DEFINITY
ECS’s powerful ACD capabilities. ACD is the basic building block for call center
applications.
ACD offers you a method for distributing incoming calls efficie ntly and equitably
among available agents. With ACD, incoming calls can be directed to the first
idle or most idle agent within a group of agents. With most idle agent distribution,
an incoming call is routed to the agent who has been availa ble for the longest
time, resulting in balanced workloads for agents.
Agents in an ACD environment are assigned to a hunt group, a group of agents
handling the same types of calls. DEFINITY ECS supports up to 6 00 different
hunt groups. Each hunt group has associated trunks, stations, recordings, and
queues. You can assign many ACD features on a per-hunt group basis t o meet
the different needs of diverse agent groups. You can link a telephone num ber to
an ACD hunt group by associating a published number (often an 800 num ber)
with the hunt group extension number of the hunt group.
Each DEFINITY ECS can support and measure up to 5,200 agents. The total
number your system can support will depend on the system configuration, the
number of hunt groups to which agents are assigned, and the version of Cen-
treVu Call Management System you use.
