New features for CentreVu Internet Solutions 4.5 

Overview

Release 4.5 of CentreVu Internet Solutions builds on the strengths of the previous release, thus enhancing established functionality while providing new features.

Release 4.5 of CentreVu Internet Solutions includes the following new features:

Auto Sync

The Auto Sync feature allows the customer's browser to follow the agent's browse sequence without the need for the agent to send each page. This feature works only from the agent side of the Internet session, and cannot be used simultaneously with the Telepointer feature. See the Web Page Guidelines documentation included on the CVuIS ICC Software CD-ROM for more information.

Prepended callback digits by arena

CentreVu Internet Solutions now allows the administration of prepended callback digits by arena rather than system-wide. Thus the digit(s) that the system automatically inserts before the callback number�whether simply 9 to access an outside line or 1+(country code) for an international call�can vary depending upon the arena in which the agent processes the callback.

Agent Router enhancements

Agent Router, the standard CentreVu Internet Solutions Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI) service, now runs as a process rather than as a servlet. In addition, Agent Router is available on Solaris platforms.

Network Address Translation support

Network Address Translation (NAT) support is now available for contact centers with servers that have different internal and external domain names.

Tomcat servlet engine for Windows

Contact centers using Windows-based servers now have the option of using the Jakarta Tomcat servlet engine in place of Allaire's JRun. It is recommended that new installations of CentreVu Internet Solutions use Tomcat, as JRun is being phased out for use with this product and will not be supported after this release.

Agent applet tunneling

If the firewall configuration of a contact center requires it, the CentreVu Internet Solutions Agent applet can now be administered for tunneling to the ICM server.

Agent interface enhancements

Release 4.5 of CentreVu Internet Solutions includes two agent interfaces: a multi-session Agent Control Window for handling multiple simultaneous Internet sessions, and a single-session Agent Control Window. Which window the agent uses to process Internet sessions is determined by the Agent Login page. For more information, see Agent and Caller Control Windows.

Avaya Web Voice Client

The Avaya Web Voice Client (WVC) is a new alternative to using Microsoft NetMeetingas the customer-side Voice over IP (VoIP) client. The WVC is more compact, provides better voice quality, and is easier to use than previous voice clients.

Administration encryption

In release 4.5 of CentreVu Internet Solutions, administrators can only view system parameters through a 128�bit encrypted connection to the administration servlet.

Independent �Contact Us� page

The independent �Contact Us� feature allows the customer to request an Internet session while continuing to browse the website. Rather than requiring the customer to leave the current page to go to another page to contact an agent, this feature opens a new frame that contains the Caller Control Window but does not completely obscure the original browser window. For more information, see the Web Page Guidelines documentation on the CVuIS ICC Software CD-ROM.

Customer-side Audible Chat Indication

During text chats, the customer-side audible chat indication notifies the customer of the following events:

Your contact center has the ability, on an arena-wide basis, to administer the sounds heard by customers and to disable the indicators entirely. For more information, see Arenas and the Web Page Guidelines documentation on the CVuIS ICC Software CD-ROM.

Join Us

The Join Us feature allows a third party with Internet access to join an in-progress Internet session. Either the agent or the customer communicates a session-specific handle to the third party, who then uses the handle to log in to a Join Us website. For more information, see Using Join Us.

Voice Consult

The Voice Consult feature allows an agent to consult with a third party during an Internet session. The customer cannot hear voice interaction between the agent and consultant unless the agent establishes a conference. However, if the consultant is a logged-in agent then all three parties participate in Web-based interactions (such as text chat) from the beginning of the consultation. For more information, see Using Voice Consult.

Conference/transfer for Agent Applet

In addition to the conference and transfer features provided by the voice terminal or soft phone, an agent now has the ability to conference or transfer using controls within the Agent Applet. For more information, see Using Conference and Using Transfer.

Transcript enhancements

Release 4.5 of CentreVu Internet Solutions includes the following enhancements to the transcript feature:

For more information about URL transcripts, see the Web Page Guidelines documentation on the CVuIS ICC Software CD-ROM.

Avaya IP600 Voice over IP (VoIP) gateway

The Avaya IP600 Internet Communications Server is a VoIP gateway solution that connects to your contact center's DEFINITY ECS by either Integrated Services Digital Network�Primary Rate Interface (ISDN-PRI) or by Internet Protocol (IP). For more information, see Administering the Voice over IP Gateways.
