Chapter 12 Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) with MIS Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
An Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) feature permits incoming calls to terminate to a
prearranged group of stations. Calls are distributed in the order of arrival to idle terminals
within the group, based on which terminal has been idle the longest period of time. Stations
may log on/log off from the ACD group. Supervisor stations may monitor conversations of
agents.
In addition to basic ACD, NEC has a Microsoft® Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000
Advanced Server or Windows 2003 Server ACD/MIS system (CallCenterWorX ACD/MIS)
that enables a user to efficiently manage a call center. NEC offers an Infolink Application
(QueWorX ) that provides IVR, Internet and Desktop integration for UNIVERGE NEAX 2000
IPS Call Centers. Finally, Q-Master which offers a modular call center environment allowing
for more flexible options by choosing just the application needed.
The MIS system analyses statistical data received from the ACD, displays real-time activity
screens, and generates and prints graphs and reports of the activity.
