Network VRU1 can be any Service Control VRU that can be used to provide initial call
treatment and serve as the telephony platform for queuing calls across all call center ACDs.
VRU1 can also be used for information gathering and self-service.
Routing and Scripting
In this deployment, Unied ICM software uses real-time reporting statistics gathered from the
different peripherals (ACDs) to make routing decisions to route calls to the ACD at a site that
is best suited to answer the call.
The following routing capabilities can be provided in this deployment.
Site Based Routing: The Unied ICM software, using the Unied ICM routing capabilities,
can use real-time reporting statistics gathered from the different peripherals (ACDs) to make
routing decisions to route calls to the ACD at a site that is best suited to answer the call.
Site selection can be scripted using real time Service and Skill Group metrics provided by
the Peripheral Gateway (PG).
Several metrics can be used to make the selection such as Agent availability, CallsInProgress,
and Minimum Expected Delay (MED) calculation.
Note: The Unied ICM scripts provide a predened MED (Minimum Expected Delay)
calculation that can be used only with ICM Services.
Agent Level Routing: Not Supported.
A typical script used to route calls in this deployment is illustrated and explained below.
About this script:
The script is associated with a Call Type. The example is shown for an enterprise that has
two sites (Boston and New York), each running a call center.
The call center at either site can provide call treatment to handle Support calls. Support
is congured as a Service in Unied ICM.
Both call centers have agents trained to handle calls for either Laptop Support or Server
Support. These are congured as Skill Groups in Unied ICM. The relationship of the
Service to Skill Groups is congured as Service Members in Unied ICM.
The Boston call center has an Avaya ACD (peripheral) connected with an Avaya PG, and
New York call center has an Aspect ACD (peripheral) connected with the Aspect PG. Service
and Skill Groups are congured for each peripheral in Unied ICM.
