scripted call processing engineer Explanation: Scripted Call Processing Software By Peter DeHaan, Ph.D. July/August 2004 Over the years, the processing of phone calls has evolved from hand-written messages, to fill-in-the-blank computer templates, and most recently to software driven prompts or call-scripting. The first two methods, hand-written and computer template, relied heavily on the knowledge and skill of the agents; it was at their sole discretion as to what was documented and how complete the information was. Good training and close supervision were critical items for success. As call centers found it increasingly challenging to find suitably qualified agents possessing the requisite decision making skills, the power of the computer stepped in to simplify the call processing procedure. This scripted software walks the agent through the call one step at a time, in a controlled, pre-determined manner. The next step of the call is based on the caller’s response to the prior question(s). Scripted software often provides logical branching, field controls and enforcements, and drop down lists of acceptable responses to certain fields. Initially, scripted call processing software was designed for “order-taking” and other highly repetitive or intricate call types. But that, too, is changing. “As much as scripting is perceived as designed for order-entry calls, we have seen a major impact by using it on our traditional telemessaging clients,” “We have reduced agent error and improved the quality of messages by being able to have the agents ‘follow the bouncing ball’ and fill in the appropriate information.” “No longer do agents have to read through volumes of pages to get to the right information, and accounts that used to be hard for an agent to process have become easier,” “This eases the agents’ frustration in getting to the right information and enables them to focus more on the customer to deliver a higher quality of service.” Although setting up an account or campaign using scripted call processing is more complex and time-consuming than the previous generation of the free-form, fill-in-the-blanks software, extra effort is quickly justified with faster agent training and the ability to hire agents without as much rigorous screening. “Agents can be quickly trained on this new system to become effective almost immediately. If agents can read, verify, and type, they can be a good revenue generating agent in no time.” Other benefits of scripted call processing include standardization of data-entry, ensuring that key data is gathered, and embedding critical decision making into the script. The end result is that agents may successfully complete calls of increasing complexity. All of the vendors listed in this article have a long history of providing message-taking systems. Most vendors, including Amtelco, CadCom, Startel, Szeto, and Telescan, offer the more common free-form, fill-in-the-blank systems and have more recently added call scripting capability. One vendor, Professional Teledata, started with scripted software – over 12 years ago – for order-entry and help desk calls. The company recently added message-taking and dispatching. Here are vendors who offer scripted call processing: AccuScript from CadCom is a campaign management product that allows call center managers to script a professional interaction with the caller. Additionally, AccuScript links into CRM systems, existing databases, and most telephony switches. AccuScript supports branching logic that allows the call to flow to different paths based on the information supplied or requested, ensuring that the agent is able to assist the caller and capture necessary information. To accomplish this, AccuScript provides a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that allows call flows to be created using drag-and-drop icons from a toolbox. For multiple-choice questions, each answer can lead to a different branch in the script, created by simply drawing arrows between the script boxes. Data screens are created using the same techniques and can be linked to the script so that appropriate information is presented to the agent throughout the call. AccuScript campaign management and reporting tools provide the call center supervisor with an effective way to monitor and optimize call center operations. The information received from the caller interaction is stored in a database, such as a legacy system, SQL, or Oracle. AccuScript can also provide a window on multiple data sources. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs 0 min (2004-08-11 15:21:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- www.connectionsmagazine.com/articles/4/051.html |

the management of instructions to network elements and platforms so that a call is executed properly Explanation: Each type of call (voice or data, analog or packet/cell) involves a series of instructions to the involved network elements and platforms so that they perform their function in the right way at the right time to proper effect. The series of instructions that need to be fulfilled is the "call flow". The actual automation of those instructions is the "processing". You will find on the internet discussions of call flows for -- to name just a few -- prepaid calls, fax calls, IP sessions, and inbound call center calls (one of the examples on this page, which describes how calls are handled by an automated call distributor and call center agent software). Here are some sample diagrams of call flows http://www.eventhelix.com/EventStudio/telecom_message_sequen... here are other examples: http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/vfoip/topic08.html http://ietfreport.isoc.org/ids-wg-sipping.html http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/prepaid_serv/topic05.htm... |
