Viewing system capacity
The capacities of your system depend on the type of voice system you have, the software
you’re using, and your contract with Avaya. Use the System Capacity screen to view the
maximum capacities of your system and your current level of usage. Remember,
however, that the capacities you’ve purchased from Avaya may be lower than the
maximums shown on the voice system.
For example, to find out how many hunt groups your DEFINITY ECS can support:
1 Open a GEDI window for the voice system you want to administer.
2 Type display capacity and press the ENTER key.
The System Capacity screen appears.
3 Go to the page that shows capacities for Hunt Groups, Splits, or Skills.
This screen shows the system limits for hunt groups and how much of this capacity is
currently used.
4 Click to close the GEDI window.
Understanding Automatic Call Distribution
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) is a DEFINITY feature used in many call centers. ACD
gives you greater flexibility to control call flow and to measure the performance of agents.
ACD systems operate differently from non-ACD systems, and they can be much more
complex. ACD systems can also be more powerful because they allow you to use
features and products that are not available in non-ACD systems.
Enhancing an ACD system
All call center management systems (such as Avaya’s Basic Call Management System
(BCMS), BCMS Vu, and the sophisticated CentreVu
®
Call Management System) require
ACD. These management systems give you the ability to measure more aspects of your
center’s operation, and in more detail, than is possible with standard DEFINITY reports.
For a comparison of these systems, see selecting a call management system.
Call vectoring greatly enhances the flexibility of a call center, and most vectoring
functions require ACD. Vectoring is a simple programming language that allows you to
custom design every aspect of call processing.
Together, ACD and vectoring allow you to use Expert Agent Selection (EAS). For a
variety of reasons, you may want certain agents to handle specific types of calls. For
example, you may want only your most experienced agents to handle your most
important customers. You may have multilingual agents who can serve callers in a variety
of languages.
EAS allows you to classify agents according to their specific skills and then to rank them
by ability or experience within each skill. DEFINITY ECS uses these classifications to
match each call with the best available agent. For more information on call vectoring and
EAS, see DEFINITY ECS Administrator’s Guide and DEFINITY ECS Call
Vectoring/Expert Agent Selection (EAS) Guide, 555-230-521.
