Operator centers Spotting an opportunity Majority of incoming calls not managed by DID or call center High internal call traffic Role based personnel Why not use a phone/sidecar? PBX’s operator consoles have always been highly featured Operators have expectations of telephony functionality Other vendors have mature and well featured options Efficient front line call handling is a given Operator center vs Contact center? Similar requirement in call routing Identify-prioritize-route-answer-conclude-measure Answer + transfer vs answer + conclude Operators need directory + advanced telephony

23. © 2009 Arc Solutions (International) Ltd. All rights reserved. Application Discovery Discovery Questions 1.Do you ever get calls for people who have left the company? Do these calls end up in ex-employee voicemail with no return call? 2.Do you ever get calls for employees in particular departments? What is the process for look up and transfer? 3.Do you ever get calls for employees that are not in your directory? How do you handle these calls? 4.Do you ever get calls for employees in other locations or on other systems? How do you handle these calls? 5.Do your operators need to coordinate a physical replacement for breaks and off hours? How do you handle operator calls in remote locations? 6.Do your supervisors and managers need to provide a certain level of service for their operators and help desks? How are things measured today? What is the process for measuring? 7.Do your operators leverage instant messaging to interact with employees? Is presence a key component to how they interact with Instant Messaging? 8.Do your operators have visibility into employee calendars or room scheduling? Is the tool integrated into their telephony system? 9.Do you have multiple sources of information/directories that need to be accessed by your operators or employees? How many directory sources do you have? (CallManager, Active Directory, Exchange, Unity, SAP, Internal etc) Are these all managed separately? Which of these contain information pertinent to an Operator (probably more than one) 10.Do your Operators take a lot of “internal” calls? Are these calls mainly from employees trying to reach colleagues in other locations or departments? How about pushing it out to the phones, or an intranet based directory? How about through a Speech interface

24. © 2009 Arc Solutions (International) Ltd. All rights reserved. Application Discovery Business Value Usage Questions Q When your company receives a call for an employee who is no longer with the company, would it be beneficial to be able to tell the caller that the employee is no longer with the company, and transfer the call to someone in the same department and perhaps with the same job title, rather than transfer a call to a voicemail box that will not get checked? Q When your company receives calls for new employees, or for employees in particular departments, would it be helpful if, your operator sent all of these calls to the right party the first time? Q When an operator from a remote branch leaves for a break, emergency, or at the end of the business day, would it be helpful if the calls can overflow to an operator in an alternate location, but still be answered with a greeting from the local office or department? Q When a call comes in for an employee or a department, would it be beneficial for your operator to have visibility into the employees presence and calendar information? If the employee is in a meeting, would it be helpful to send a visual message to the screen of the phone in the meeting room? Q When a call comes in for an employee who has an out of office message set, would it be valuable to inform the caller of the greeting before offering to transfer the call to voicemail? Q If that same person was travelling and had an alternate number that she could be reached at, would it be helpful to transfer the call to an alternate number rather than a message system? Q Would it be valuable to streamline the update process to have a central management point for all of these directory integrations? Q Would it be valuable to take the directory that the Operator has and push it to the company on an intranet site with click to dial, an xml service on an IP phone, and a natural speech interface?
