A third-party VRU that supports service control and is connected to Unied ICM by a VRU
PG
A VRU at the TDM Network that supports service control and is connected to Unied ICM
by a NIC
For deployments where Unied ICM provides integration to an ACD for agent level routing
using the ARS PG, the ACD itself is used as the telephony platform that queues the call as
directed by the ICM.
Enterprise queues are an efcient way of routing a call in your enterprise network and are also
a cost-effective way to save on toll charges before terminating a call on the ACD.
How Calls Offered and Calls Queued are Incremented
The Skill_Group_Real_Time database tracks calls offered and calls queued in separate elds.
Therefore, there is no double counting of calls queued and offered at the ACD and calls queued
and offered at the network.
Reporting Considerations when using an Enterprise Queue
The use of enterprise queues affects Call Type, Skill Group, and Service reporting.
The reporting metrics that are affected include queued metrics, answered metrics, service level
metrics, and abandoned metrics.
The reporting of these metrics is also affected by whether or not the call was translation-routed
(page 37) when sent to an ACD.
Notes
Some reporting metrics for skill groups and call types are applicable only if calls are translation
routed.
Translation routing plays a signicant role in the accuracy of reporting. Some reporting
metrics gathered for Call Types and skill groups are applicable only if calls are translation
routed. Calls can be translation routed either to a VRU Peripheral or to an ACD.
Translation routing is primarily applicable when Unied ICM software is used for Enterprise
Routing to traditional ACDs and Cisco Unied System Contact Center. This includes
deployments connected to legacy ACDs using any supported TDM PG such as Aspect PG
and deployments connected to Cisco Unied System Contact Center using IPCC Gateway
PG. Translation Routing enables Unied ICM for cradle to grave reporting.
For deployments where the Unied ICM provides integrations to an ACD for Enterprise
Routing the following is true:
The Unied ICM system reports on ACD queue metrics.
