Call Centre Solution

I need some advice on VOIP phone system for call center which we gonna implement soon.

Which is the best advanced call center solution (hardware & Software) in the current market?

Some tips: ( sorry I am collecting more details from management once I get I will put)

1) Phone system integrated with PC
2) Voice mail, Call transfer, Video conferencing etc...
3) Unified communication
4) Inbound Call tracking, making job card and following it up etc...
5) May be transfer from one site to another (with PRI point to point connection). like after 6 p.m transfer to other country...
6) it should be flexible

Any advice would be great!

How many position on the call center ?

The answer will not be the same for 10 to 50 or more than 150 ...

An entry point could be asterisk solution (asterisk.org) with add on from vicidial (google it), it may be an easy way to start a software open source based solution in 10 to 50 positions range.

Some more packaged solutions are available it depend on resources you plan to have to set it up.

We use uccx 5 integrated with CUCM 5.1.2 which I will be upgrading to 6.1.1 shortly.  It works great we actually have 2 call centers running through the boxes each queue has 5 users so 10 total plus supervisors. The system can handle up to 300 agents.  This system has everything that you are looking for the only thing is you can record without getting a seperate recording server but they only stay for a week and they are on demand if you get a seperate recording server you can record all the calls.

Thanks Voipman, few more queries...

Please find attached excel file which is from Cisco vendor, could you please verify its sufficient asper my requirment or not? Also we need below features as well.

1) when inbound call is coming we need to show a popup window for the Agents (letus say if existing customer calling in there name otherwise new customer calling in then prompt to feed their details etc...)

2) Can we send SMS alerts to clients?
As I am new to voice system your suggestion are valuable for me...
Thanks & Rg

CCX.xlsx
1) when inbound call is coming we need to show a popup window for the Agents (letus say if existing customer calling in there name otherwise new customer calling in then prompt to feed their details etc...)  CCX runs on scripts so you can create a script to do pretty much anything you want.  There are companies out there that will do the scripting they generally charge $100 an hour and depending on the script you want and how intricate it is makes the price go up.  You can set it up to where the agent can log in with thier phone and the screen on the phone shows the information you looking for or you can install the Cisco Agent Desktop on each ones computer and that will pop up (if you set it up that way) when a call comes in and that will show all the client information.


2) Can we send SMS alerts to clients?
I am not sure if you can do this! UCCX does have outbound dialer (requires seperate licensing) You may be able to create a script that would send out sms messages to clients but it would probably require a sms server of some kind.

Looks like you were quoted for the UCCX standard.  I would go with the premium as that is what we have and it has all the options you wanted.  I believe standard doesnt allow for on demand monitoring and recording and a couple other options.

Also looks like you only have 1 server you should have at least 2 for a cluster incase the server fails.

Are you  installing CME on 2811? If that is the case I think you can only get the standard UCCX

Voipman, I really appreciate your time. I will go with you since we need redundancy,
so It would be great if you can let me know what kind of changes I need to make on that BOQ.

Which higher end Router?
Which UCCX version?
You said server that means Cisco 2811 ? Etc...

Thanks

From your BOQ it looks like you will have the following

A 2811 router with Cisco Call Manager Express
You have a 2 slot vwic that you can install your FXO and FXS cards into
1 Wan Interface card
Cisco Unity Express Along with the with module that needs to be installed in the 2811 router British english with 12 voice mailboxes and auto attendant
A PVDM2 -16 which depending on how many concurrent calls you think you will have may need to be upgraded
256/128 which is maxed out I believe

UCCX Standard installed on a 7816 MCS server with 10 agent and supervisor licenses  windows 2003 which uccx loads on top of


How many user do you have now? How many users do you think you will grow to in the next 2 years? How many concurrent calls do you currently have?  What type of phone system do you currently have?
