Setting up a Contact Center
This example describes the setup and configuration of an OpenScape Office Contact Center based on a fictional customer scenario. It is intended to assist you in setting up a customized Contact Center. Please do NOT use the values specified here as a template, since they will certainly differ from those required for the system you wish to install.

Contact Center Scenario
● Company X intends to operate a Contact Center with two dial-in numbers, of which one is to be
used for "Service" and the other for "Sales". These two dial-in numbers are each to be processed via a separate queue.
● In addition to the two direct dial-in numbers, callers are also to be provided with a central toll-free
dial-in option. Using digit dialing, every caller is to be allowed to connect directly with Service, Sales or the respective group voicemail box.
● The Contact Center will consist of six staff members who receive calls from both queues. These
staff members have different skill levels for the "Service" and "Sales" areas and are to be assigned calls on the basis of their respective skills. Both queues are to have group fax, group voicemail and group e-mail.
Functional Principle of HiPath 3000 UCD and OpenScape Office Contact Center
● If all staff are busy or not available, callers in the respective queues are to be notified accordingly
and have music played back to them. If no staff member becomes free after a specific period of time, every caller is to be offered an option to leave a request for callback or be connected to the central operator using digit dialing. If no digit is dialed, the caller should be automatically placed back in the queue.
● During the closed hours for Service, callers are to hear an announcement indicating that they can
record a voicemail with a request for callback or optionally be forwarded to an emergency number.
● During the closed hours for Sales and Service, callers are to hear an announcement indicating that
they can record a voicemail with a request for callback or optionally be forwarded to an emergency number.
● In the time from 8:00 to 9:00 hours, incoming calls are to be greeted with a personal greeting and
have the option of leaving a request for callback or being connected to the operator.
● During the lunch period from 12:00 to 13:00, an announcement should be configured for each
queue indicating that callers can record a voicemail with a request for callback.
● Emergency concept:
If the OSO server fails, certain defined workstations should have the option for agents to log in at the telephone. On these logged in devices, calls can be accepted from all queues.

Contact Center
This section illustrates the functional principle of OpenScape Office Contact Center and the UCD func-tion of HiPath 3000 systems using flowcharts.
Functional Principle of HiPath 3000 UCD and OpenScape Office Contact Center
5.1.1
UCD in HiPath 3000 with OSO Queue
This diagram shows the schematic flow of an incoming call to group 440.
Linking group 440 with the logical number #201 in the call destination list means that the UCD function is available in the HiPath 3000 system. This information is stored in the SQL client and automatically transferred to the OSO database.
Configuring a queue with the call number 440 in the OSO Contact Center establishes an automatic link to the UCD group 440 on HiPath 3000.
>
Assigning agent IDs to UCD groups in HiPath 3000 is ONLY possible for a backup concept; normally, this is controlled by the OSO server’s Contact Center.7 In normal operation, agents cannot log in to the OSO Contact Center by entering their ID on the device.

HiPath 3000 UCD Emergency Concept if the OSO Queue Fails
This diagram shows the schematic flow of an incoming call to group 440 when the OSO Contact Center is not functional.
Linking group 440 with the logical number #201 in the call destination list means that the UCD function is available in the HiPath 3000 system.
As no agent IDs are assigned to group #201, the call is immediately forwarded to group #260.
If you assign agent IDs to UCD group #260, it is possible to manually assign these to UCD group #260 on the devices.
In UCD group #260, incoming calls are then forwarded to available devices.

OSO Schedule and Call Control Vector (CCV)
This section contains the schematic workflow for incoming calls in an OSO Contact Center queue. If a call cannot be taken by an agent, it is always processed by a schedule when it reaches the end of the queue.
This schedule defines how the call should be handled at different times, on different days or for whole weeks (24/7).
A Call Control Vector (CCV) is configured for each required time period. If the function is the same for all days (24/7), a default CCV will still be required.
Each Call Control Vector defines how the incoming call is handled once it has passed the queue.

Please note that the trunks selected for this can only be used for outgoing calls, since they have been assigned a route where the incoming PABX number is missing. Conse-quently, these trunks cannot be used for incoming calls. The best option would be to use an additional ISDN port with a separate ISDN number for this purpose.The "CLIP No Screening" feature must be enabled at the Provider for the trunks select-ed here.
