Management from a Single desktop

Executone’s Sentinel Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) is a unique computer telephony management application designed to improve the effectiveness of your inbound call center. Integrating with Executone’s powerful Eclipse2-based ACD features, Sentinel is specifically designed to display and report on the skills-based routing functionality provided by Eclipse2. Monitoring call center activity in real-time, Sentinel provides a window into a call center’s operations. Using Client/Server technology, Sentinel blends easily with other Windows-based applications at the call center supervisor’s desktop.

Applications

The Sentinel application requires an Executone-provided Windows NT 4.0-based server connected to an Eclipse2 switch. It supports the entire ACD Skills-Based Routing feature set offered with the Eclipse2 enabled IDS.

The Real-time Monitor

Manage Call Center activity in real time. Sentinel shows all current call center activity on the supervisor desktop. Supervisors can choose among 20 types of windows, each of which can be tailored to their specific needs, to view call center activity.

Historical Reports

Create customized historical reports. Sentinel offers supervisors and management the ability to analyze call center efficiency and project future requirements based on historical data. Sentinel provides either 22 factory-defined reports or 18 user-definable templates to meet all management-reporting needs. Historical reports can also be easily exported to other software applications, including Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3.

The Sentinel Administration

Improved productivity with easy to use Windows® design. The Administration module is used to establish the proper reporting parameters for Sentinel. This includes set-up of agents, groups, supergroups and supervisor access. In addition, supervisors are able to establish parameters required for exception color graphics reporting. Exception color graphic reporting enables supervisors to easily notice problem situations in a call center by using yellow and red color-coding. A supervisor establishes parameters that would trigger the yellow and red alarms, and Sentinel manages the rest.

Wallboard/Agent Board

The Wallboard/Agent Board enables call center event information to be provided directly to an agent desktop via the corporate LAN. The Agent Board is the most effective method of providing call center information to the agent. With information provided directly to the same PC that the agent uses to execute their transactions, each agent is sure to notice messages. In addition, Sentinel integrates with the traditional wall-mounted marquee by Executone.

Benefits - Improve the effectiveness of your call center

Market Leading Routing

Executone has designed a call center supervisor and management reporting application specifically to match the routing provided by our telephone system. The routing functionality that is provided by the Executone switch is truly a market leader. Routing features include:

bullet99 ACD Groups
bullet999 Agents Identification Numbers
bulletSkills Based Routing
bulletAgents can log in up to eight groups
bulletAgents can have 8 levels of priority within any of those eight groups

Improved Supervisor Efficiency

Sentinel provides the information a supervisor needs to manage call center activity in real-time at their desktop PC. Selectable windows allow a supervisor to choose the information they want in the format (graphical or tabular) that they want. Exception Color Graphics allow them to easily identify problem situations in the call center.

Ease of Use

The Sentinel application is the easiest to use call center application in the market today. A standard windows-based interface allows supervisors to use standard point-and-click operation or familiar pull-down menus to operate the application. Context-sensitive help files bring users directly to the appropriate location in the help file to address their question.

Flexible Management Reporting

This feature is critical to the profitability and effectiveness of a call center. Sentinel’s user-defined Historical Reporting allows managers to receive information for their specific needs and thereby recommend methods of improvement.
