Agent Management

Anywhere365 distinguishes two different contact center agents: (1) Formal Agents A Formal Agent is able to sign in and sign out of the UCC. This can be achieved when the Agent sends a start or stop command to the Skype for Business client of the UCC. and (2) Informal Agents When you create an 'Informal Agent' in the agent list, then this agent will be part of the agent circle as soon as he signs in to his Skype for Business or Teams client. In contrast, by marking the checkbox 'Formal' upon creating a new agent, the agent first has to actively sign in to the UCC to be available for call distribution.. An informal agent is connected to the UCC once he/she is signed in, while a formal agent needs to sign in for an UCC in order to collaborate. The use of formal agents makes it easy to switch between different UCCs by using the friendly user interface of the Inflight Snapper and help the busiest UCC. Single-sign-on makes it possible to sign in to all the UCCs a formal agent works for.

In this way it's possible to make changes to your UCC at any time, without the need for technological skills. And because it is real-time there is no downtime while improving your UCC. You can add call agents, change the status of the UCC, and optimize the IVR and its texts while staying available for customers. Furthermore, both SharePoint Server as well as SharePoint Online (from Microsoft 365) can be used in combination with Anywhere365.

Within the new UCC settings it is possible to set the Time Zone of a specific UCC. So that on one platform with different UCC, running in different areas in the world, but with one server clock time, the UCC is able to correct its own time. A very useful feature for situations like Business Hours, Holidays and Reporting.
Dialogue Intelligence

Quality Management

Supervisors of a UCC have the opportunity to generate a list of current calls and monitor them, intervene, whisper to an agent, talk as a conference, take over the call and give back the call to an agent. With reporting from a compliance point of view, all supervisor actions can be made visible in the dialogue timeline.
Dialogue Management

The routing of the UCC can be based on the presence of the Agents. By adding an Availability Skill the customer can be rerouted to a new location if no agents are available.

Business hours are the configurable times, which set the availability of the UCC. With the Anywhere365 platform, it is possible to set the Business hours of each separate UCC. Outside business hours an alternative message (Message Closed) will be played and customers can be given the opportunity to leave a voicemail. One day can have multiple Business Hours, for example the morning from 08:00 to 12:00 and the afternoon from 13:00 to 17:00. If the UCC is closed one day, the business hours can be edited, but it is easier to use Holidays instead.

With the Skill Countdown feature value of Anywhere365 it is possible to lower the skill value of those Agents, which are present during a short period of time in seconds measured. During that time period the skill value will go from 100% to 1% in steps of the average time period. After the countdown the call can be automatically transferred to another skill, the same skill, or to reach voicemail.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) allows customers to interact with a host system, after which they can service their own inquiries or will be redirected to a call agent by following the IVR dialogue. Traditionally input is required via the telephone keypad, modern Voice User Interfaces rely on speech recognition, both of which are supported. All texts within the IVR will be loaded dynamically and can be managed real-time by means of text-to-speech and/or audio files. Scripts build according to conversational design principles can be easily created.

Anywhere365 offers different escape actions while the contact is waiting in the queue. For example the contact can switch queue or leave a voicemail.

Anywhere365 supports a Routing table in the SharePoint settings. With this table it is possible to regulate, based on a regular expression the number(s) to a specific skill. With this feature you are able to route specific numbers or number plans to specific skills. This feature can be used together with a SharePoint workflow, or an Anywhere365 Timer Job, to schedule a specific situation when specific routing can work. Example: If you expect a customer to call, you would like to route that customer only, based on LineURI of SIP The Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, is a protocol for multimedia communication (audio, video and data communication). SIP is also used for Voice over IP (VoIP). SIP has interactions with other Internet protocols such as HTTP and SMTP. address to a VIP skill. Routing can be managed in the Routing library.
In each line in the Routing a Match criteria can be set, following the order the Match lines will be used. When there is a match, the address will be forwarded to either the Skill or the Parent Question. When forwarded to a Skill the caller will directly enter the queue. When forward is to a Parent Question, the customer will enter the IVR at that point. Since the Skill can be a forward skill too, Anywhere365 is able to redirect a call from a specific number directly to another outbound number like mobile, SIP or PSTN.

A Side instep to IVR makes it possible to skip IVR-steps and fulfill customer needs even faster.

A Side instep to Queue makes it possible to skip IVR-steps and fulfill customer needs even faster. Besides that it is possible to define contacts that will skip the entire IVR (and its associated queue) and will be redirected to the first available call agent.

In case the UCC is closed or the queue is too long to serve new customers, it is possible for them to leave a voice mail and send these voice mails to SharePoint automatically. This makes it possible to playback voice mails and serve customers at a later stage.
