Broad Flexibilities and Possibilities for Your Call Center

Flexibility is a crucial factor in the configuration of a thriving call center. With Callisto Call Center Collection, the modularity, as well as the multiple configuration options of the individual modules, are guaranteed. You can combine multi-level IVR and ACD functionalities within one call center application. Each queue provides multiple, unique configuration options and is either an ACD queue or an IVR queue, or both. Multiple call center applications can be cascaded, which gives ICT administrators tremendous flexibility. You can easily set up new queues by uploading custom greetings, enabling predefined greetings for wait time or queue position, selecting call distribution such as Top Down, Round Robin, Parallel, or Longest Idle, and adding new agents. Other important configurations like Default Agent, Last Agent, Agent Time Out, Alarming, etc., allow optimizing each call center for your specific use case. Regular expressions enable complex routing scenarios to make the processes as simple as possible for a calling customer.

Powerful Multilevel IVR Module

The Module IVR, also part of the Call Center Collection, provides powerful and flexible configuration options for setting up single- as well as multi-step IVRs. IVRs can be configured very easily to guide callers through a specific process to the best possible contact for the customer. The Callisto IVR module offers additional settings such as multilevel DTMF menus, transfer to numbers without consultation, bridging numbers, launching applications, call transfer to queues, and even terminating calls. Scheduled dependencies can also be configured in the IVR system, for example, for outside business hours or during holidays.

Greet Your Customers with Friendliness

Greeting customers on the phone is very important. Therefore, make the waiting time an experience with Callisto Call Center Collection! The caller can be entertained during waiting while a free agent is called. Following some scenarios:

Multiple recordings like music, announcement, music, waiting for position and/or waiting time, announcement, request for voice mail yes/no, and callback.
General message (e.g., “Welcome to…”)
Voice recording message (e.g., “Please note that this call is being recorded”).
Announcement for specific incidents (e.g., “At the moment we are experiencing a large number of calls, we request…”)
Etc.

The Powerful Queue Configuration

The in-depth configuration of queues is essential to build a powerful and customer-oriented call center. This is where the Callisto Call Center Collection shows its particular strengths: Flexibility paired with simplicity. The following examples give a brief insight into the possibilities of queue configuration:

Static announcements: Various messages can be played sequentially during the waiting process. Various music-on-hold elements and individual announcements, such as messages from marketing campaigns or alternative contact methods, can be played on a second-by-second basis. By uploading customer-specific WAV files, the system offers an easy way to change the messages played during the waiting time. Each WAV file can be played in full length or only partially.

Approximate waiting time announcements: Callisto Call Center Queue Configuration also offers the possibility to announce the approximate waiting time.

Queue position: Callisto Queue Configuration allows announcing the position in the queues.

Voice message announcements: If configured accordingly, the caller can choose whether to continue waiting or leave a voice message.

Queue priority: If an agent is logged into multiple queues, this feature connects the next call from the higher priority queue to the agent’s phone.

Caller priority: With the Callisto VIP feature, which enables tiered VIP caller status assignment (five different levels), Callisto Call Center Collection can prioritize callers in a queue.

Efficient Agent Management

Various methods of call distribution are available for configuration:

Top-Down: The first configured agent is called. If the agent is busy (immediately) or does not answer (after the agent timeout), the call is forwarded to the next agent in line.

Round Robin: Call Center calls the next agent in line according to the Round Robin procedure. If the agent is busy (immediately) or does not answer (after the agent timeout), the call is forwarded to the next agent.

Longest idle: The next incoming call goes to the agent with the longest dwell time since the last call. If the agent is busy (immediately) or does not answer (after the agent timeout), the call is routed to the next agent with the longest wait time.

Parallel: All agents are called at the same time.

Many other agent-related parameters, such as “Last Agent”, or “Default Agent” can be configured individually.
The call center agent can log in anytime and anywhere (e.g., Cisco phone, Cisco Jabber, Cisco Webex, IVR, Callisto web interface, Callisto operator solution, Callisto Gadget). The Call Center Collection sends appropriate status messages to the agent’s phone, such as:

Agent logged in
Agent logged out
Agent in post-processing mode
Pop-up menu during the call: who is calling (name resolution in Callisto database) and in which queue.
After accepting the call, the agent gets the phone pop-up showing how many callers are still waiting in the different queues where the agent is logged in.

Time-Dependent Call Center Status

Callisto Call Center Collection has various options to schedule each call queue individually using non-business hours or holiday settings.

Non-business hours: Different schedules are available per queue. Individual and time-dependent announcements can be played. Depending on the time, the call can even be forwarded to an internal or external number or directly to the voicemail of a specific user or group number.

Holidays: Several holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, company vacations, etc., can be individually configured for each queue.

The Supervisor Always Keeps the Overview

There are several options within the Callisto Call Center Collection to equip the supervisors with the right tools to ensure a high-quality call center service:

Configuration of comprehensive alarm and alerting settings such as max. callers in a queue, max. number of calls during a specific time, the threshold for the number of logged-in agents, etc.
Assigned supervisors can select current calls on their phones or in their Callisto attendant solution and listen in (monitor) or talk to (coach) the selected call’s agent.
A detailed dashboard shows the current status of each queue with all vital information.

Reporting Is the Key to Success

In the Callisto Call Center Collection, authorized users have access to detailed reporting, which they can evaluate accordingly and also process further: queue, caller, or agent-specific reports can be displayed on the screen, as a graphic or by exporting them to a CSV file to adapt or further process them if required. Additionally, extensive and individual search and evaluation functions are available to the authorized user. Call Center Collection Reporting can be customized with the Callisto OAM interface for specific evaluation requirements.
