Routing and Scripting
The manner in which you congure and script your Unied ICM system in this deployment
greatly affects the accuracy and usefulness of your reporting metrics. This section assumes that
calls are shared and routed across call centers for the application and are managed the same
way.
Follow these guidelines for conguring and scripting the Unied ICM to ensure that your reports
display correct and relevant metrics for your "hybrid" contact center implementation.
Guidelines:
1. Ensure all calls are routed by the Unied ICM software.
2. Deploy a Service Control VRU to provide treatment and to queue calls in the enterprise
while waiting for an available agent in a skill group.
In other words queue calls to skill groups in Unied ICM (Enterprise queuing) for all call
centers. Avoid using ACD queues.
3. For legacy ACDs where Unied ICM software is used for Enterprise Routing consider
the following:
Ensure all calls are routed by the Unied ICM software
Use Translation Routes for routing calls to the legacy ACD. Always use translation
routing when routing calls between ACDs.
Once the call is routed by the Unied ICM and is terminated on the legacy ACD,
make sure no treatment occurs at the ACD.
