41. INTELLIGENT SERIES Contact Based Architecture. More and more sites are migrating to the Contact Based Architecture. Contact Based Architecture shifts from account and instruction based dispatching to contact and script based dispatching .
42. INTELLIGENT SERIES Teleplex has adopted Contact Based Architecture for their Dispatching model. Here is a quote from Doug Robbins: “ Your software development team has been tremendous to work with, on and off beta calls. We have 400 accounts on contact dispatch. We have another 300 getting ready to swing after NAEO. We are a big fan of contact dispatch. We have improved operator call processing time, we have reduced error rates, the web on call has been a great enhancement. We find Infinity IS to be an extremely powerful tool beyond our wildest expectations. “
43. INTELLIGENT SERIES ACT Teleservices has adopted Contact Based Architecture for their Dispatching model. Here is information from Sean Haugh of ACT: We have approximately 1850 accounts currently using IS dispatch functions, with about 250 more scheduled by the end of March, and thousands of accounts to go in the longer term. A good portion of these incorporate automated dispatch functions, which involve no input from the operator. We are constantly researching new ways to further automate dispatch procedures. We have seen two main benefits: Speed and accuracy. Speed – the dispatcher spends less time researching what to do next, who to call, etc; a properly designed script determines these and barring extraneous circumstances all they need to do is press a button and give the message. This same functionality leads to accuracy : with the steps laid out already, careless mistakes are avoided. A lesser but not insignificant benefit is improved dispatch training. We have implemented IS dispatch with an eye towards simplicity wherever possible, with the goal of anyone being able to dispatch. I have said this before but it bears repeating in that we have had occasions where operators have successfully dispatched calls via contact based dispatch with zero training on any form of dispatch. We have yet to find a situation where IS dispatch could not be of use in some form; at its’ most basic use we can at least prevent a call from being dropped accidentally by the operator taking the message.
44. INTELLIGENT SERIES Contact Based Architecture. The biggest challenge with Contact Based Architecture is making the commitment to change and getting started. Sites migrating to the new method have requested some tools to make the transition easier.
45. INTELLIGENT SERIES Contact Based Architecture Combo Checkin Screen shows Infinity Msg Index with Voice Messages and a Special count + IS Message Center.
46. INTELLIGENT SERIES Pressing the Checkin key from the Combo Checkin Screen changes to the Infinity Checkin Screen, allowing viewing and editing of Specials.
