Intelligent CRM in the blink of an eye

Customers are connected to the right VRU or phone rep in 1/100th seconds - literally in the

blink of an eye

Intelligent Call Routing is:• Account-level, attribute-driven routing • Match to correct associate

– Account status– Propensity to buy– Language preference– Product– Age of account

– Availability– Special skills– Functional expertise– Tests

Page 14: Steve Bartos Information Technology Futures Capital One Financial Corporation IP Networking and Mediacom-2004 International Telecommunications Union 24/04/2001

The routing decision is made in the network.

• Load balancing

• Minimizes infrastructure

• Facilitates growth

– Appropriate distribution of work– Service levels managed by call type– Protection of special call types– Deliberate imbalance capability exists

– Switch interconnectivity not required

– Could not grow to the number of sites and switches under prior architecture

– Highly variable site size and configuration options
