ACD
Systems America has standardized on the tried and tested Avaya Definity G3r Enterprise Communications Server (ECS) and Call Management System (CMS, earlier known as CentreVu) for its contact center switching applications. The Avaya contact center solution is built upon the automatic call distribution (ACD) technology that enables a suite of call routing capabilities. The ACD can be configured as required. For example, the calls can be configured to go to the least busy agent, the first available agent, or the agent with the skills needed by a particular customer. Announcements, for example about the estimated wait time (EWT) or about services provided, can be configured and played as per the requirements. In addition to this the ACD enables Call Vectoring and Expert Agent Selection.

A Definity ECS supports up to 5,200 agents. Our system is designed to handle multiple contact centers in Delhi in India and San Jose, California with best service routing. BSR balances call loads across these locations with tools to analyze demand and direct each call to the location best able to handle it - for example, based on call volume, waiting time in queue, or the time of day. BSR is completely transparent to the callers; all they know is that their calls are being handled promptly.
 
Multiplexer
Systems America has standardized on Alcatel Multiplexers. The models deployed are Alcatel 7270 and 7470. Alcatel 5620 Network Manager is deployed for managing these nodes globally.

These multiplexers are carrier class systems with fully redundant and non-blocking switching fabric. They employ echo cancellation & silence suppression algorithms to improve the QOS. The multiplexers utilize RAPID (Reserved Alternate Path with Immediate Diversion), a feature by which the system switches onto a back-up circuit when the primary circuit goes down and resumes service immediately.

Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies are used for transmitting voice over the IPLC's. The compression achieved on these technologies is standard G.729a (8:1).
 
Dialer
Systems America has Avaya Mosaix predictive dialer. Mosaix dialer comes with call recording and monitoring; conference calling; skills-based, DNIS-, and ANI-based routing. In addition to this, Mosaix also has answering machine detection (AMD) and advanced CPA that efficiency of the predictive dialer. On the agent desktop, Mosaix provides the GUI for all agent interaction and data views.
 
Quality Monitoring Solution
We have deployed a Nice Universe. It interfaces directly with Avaya Voice Switches. A single box can record 48 Channels simultaneously.
 
e-CRM: e-Mail Response Management & Web Support
Systems America has deployed 'KANA Response' e-mail response management system. The system automatically routes messages to work queues, priority queues and department queues and uses automatic responses and suggestions to minimize human intervention. It also enables multiple real-time chat sessions for each agent to service complex and time-sensitive requests. Response has a unified GUI that enables an agent to manage multiple e-mail, chat and Web form interactions simultaneously.

KANA Response provides Self Service Integration. A feature that includes self-service links in automated and agent-assisted e-mail and chat responses that direct customers to precise information in the corporate knowledge base. The solution has a distributed architecture that ensures that outbound e-mail handling can scale flexibly to meet enterprise growth and change.
 
Web Help e-Support Console
Systems America has built an e-Support console that offers self-help on the web. The e-Support console can provide services via e-Mail, Text Chat, Call Back and VoIP. VoIP services are provided over our private network from our US based Telecom Centers. With the e-Support console, contact center agents use the web for VoIP and Text Chat to co-navigate and push pages across to the customer.
 
Desktops, Servers & Software
Systems America deploys client specified desktop configurations. All our PCs are industry standard makes from Compaq, Dell, IBM and HP. The standard configuration is P-III, 128 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD, 15" \ 17" \ 21" monitors. Customized configurations can be deployed as per the system requirements.

IBM servers are used for applications such as Domain controllers and File Servers. Sun Server with Solaris has been deployed for specific applications.

Agent desktop OS is WIN 2000 or NT. The desktop is loaded with office 2000 suite, anti-virus and other client applications required to access required systems. The Applications used depend on the host/client/program environment.
 
LAN
The Local area network (LAN) at our contact centers is enhanced Cat-V network with vertical & horizontal Giga fiber with Switched 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) to the desktop.

For specific requirements, Logically Separate LANs as well as Physically Separate LANs have also been implemented.
 
Routers & Switches
Systems America has standardized on Cisco 3600 Series routers and Cisco 2950 switches with management using SNMP.
