Built-in Real Time Screen Recording

Our major announcement in version 1.5.5 is built-in support for real time agent screen recording! This feature works by running a small Java applet within our browser-based agent interface that monitors when a call arrives and when a call is dispositioned. You must ensure our applet is given permissions to run every time on the agent's desktop in order for this feature to function seamlessly. When prompted for permissions to run in the browser, simply check the "Do not show this again for apps from the publisher and location above" check box to avoid being prompted every time an agent logs in.

As a call arrives to the agent's desktop, our screen recorder silently records the entire desktop and all actions performed by the agent for the duration of the call. Once a call is dispositioned (note: not when a call ends but when the agent dispositions the call), the screen recording completes and is silently and

automatically uploaded to our unlimited storage service for persisting

All screen recordings can be accessed, searched, and filtered in the same manner as call recordings using our Quality Assurance app.



PCI-Compliant Data Capture

We realize that protecting your customer's personal cardholder information is paramount in today's environment. In this release, we are announcing support for PCI-compliant data capture. If enabled on the Transfers tab, your agents will be able to send customers to an IVR to collect personal information, such as SSN or credit card information, and return once the information has been captured. This helps prevent fraud and ensures the integrity of your customer's information remains intact.



Broadcast Instant Messages

The previous release of Fenero Contact Center introduced internal instant messaging for agent-to-agent and supervisor-to-agent chat. In this release, agent-to-supervisor as well as mass broadcast instant messaging is now available using the Realtime app.



Improved Lead Management



Improved Lead Management

Automatic Lead Archiving and Improved Deletion Support

Census allows you to import an unlimited number of files for manual, preview, progressive or predictive dialing. Over time, the number of lists could clutter the Census interface making it difficult to manage your active lists.

We have improved the lead management capabilities in Census in two ways:

1) All lists that are inactive (in a "Stopped" state) and have not been dialed in 45 days or more are automatically archived. While the lists themselves still appear in Census, their Total Population count will show zero (0). You can always reactivate these lists at any time, which will automatically retrieve their records from archive and back into the live leads database.

This process helps keep the live leads database performing at its optimal capacity by archiving records that are no longer actively called. Reports are not affected by this process.

2) You can now delete lists in Census without losing any reporting associated with those lists. In previous versions of Fenero Contact Center, deleting a list would also delete all the records associated with it, affecting your ability to run historical reports on old lists. Version 1.5.5 introduces archiving of those leads, which keeps them available for reporting purposes while removing them from the list of available dialing lists in Census.

Editing Custom Field Definitions

Version 1.1.5 of Fenero Contact Center introduced the concept of custom fields used to build custom data entry forms for your agents. With this release, you can now easily edit the definitions of your custom fields without affecting existing data capture records.



Automatic Data Push



Automatic Data Push

Fenero Contact Center captures different data points for your business. This includes call logs, call recordings, user activity and much more. In version 1.5.5, you can now specify an FTP site by clicking on your name in the upper left section of the navigation bar in Fenero Manager and we will automatically feed captured data to this FTP site for your records.

Hovering over your name in the navigation bar will bring up two tabs that allows you to manage account information for your company: Account and FTP. Account allows you to update company information used to register with Fenero Contact Center. FTP allows you to enter connection information for your FTP site where you would like data automatically fed to..



Easily Copy Existing Campaigns and Queues

Copying existing campaigns and ACD queues is now a very simple and quick task. Using the respective app (Campaigns or ACD Queues apps), you will see a new Copy option next to each existing campaign or ACD queue. To create a new campaign or ACD queue using the settings of an existing, simply click Copy next to the desired campaign or ACD queue, enter a new name when prompted, and click Copy to begin the process. That's it!

A new campaign or ACD queue will be created and all settings including prompts, dispositions, etc from the existing campaign or ACD queue will be copied. .



ACD Queue Enhancements

One of the features available in our ACD Queues app allows you to setup max call queue limits. Once this limit has been reached, previous versions of Fenero Contact Center allowed you to play a message to your callers and then hang up. In this release, we now support additional options for callers who have reached your call queue limit. This includes: forwarding these callers to another number, sending callers to a voicemail box, forwarding callers to another ACD queue or, as was always present, hanging up.

In addition, you may now customize your music-on-hold per queue in a very easy manner as well as control the on-hold prompt that's played to callers waiting for an agent. Finally, our after-hours feature has been updated to play a message and then perform an action, such as routing to voicemail, forwarding, or hanging up.



Several New Reports

This release introduces several new standard reports to help provide additional visibility into your operations. These reports are as follows:

Agent Time Detail - Allows you to view a breakdown summary of how agents are spending their time, such as Logged In, Break, Ready, After Call Work, and other custom reason codes you have defined.

Agent Log - Provides contact-level data on each interaction handled by an agent and the associated talk, wrap, and handle time.

Agent Disposition Summary - Reports on disposition data at the agent level for the specified period.

Interaction Detail Log - Provides call-level history for all leads imported into the system including custom field data.

Lead Detail - Provides call-level history for all leads, including call time data.

System Call Log - Allows you to view real-time inbound and outbound call log activity.

DNC Log - Allows you to view or export current campaign DNC phone numbers.



Minor Enhancements

Several minor enhancements were performed to improve certain functions of the system. These include:

Dispo When Caller Hangs Up: Found under the Campaign General tab, this will automatically take agents to the disposition window when a caller hangs up if set to Yes.

Dispo When End Call Pressed: Found under the Campaign General tab, this will automatically take agents to the disposition window after they've pressed the End Call button if set to Yes.

Custom & System Dispositions: Found under the Campaign General tab, this allows you to control whether agents see both custom and system dispositions, such as Busy, or if agents only see your custom dispositions created.

Show/Display Interaction Form: Found on the General tab of a Campaign or the Main tab of an ACD Queue, this option expands on the "screen pop" actions and allows you to show agents a custom data entry interaction form when a call arrives.

Force Preview Dialing: Found under the Campaign Dialer tab, this allows you to force preview dialing on all manual outbound calls. If enabled, agents will only be allowed to place manual calls in preview and are allowed to skip records.

Dialer Queue: Found under the Campaign Dialer tab, enabling the Dialer Queue for all outbound manual calls ensures that all rules, such as max attempts, DNC checking, and others are performed for manual dialing. If not enabled for manual or preview dialing, lead recycling rules are not enforced. This feature must be enabled for predictive dialing.



General Improvements Other improvements have been made system-wide to further increase the reliability, stability, and ease of use of the system.

Reliability updates in the Fenero Contact Center Agent includes minor bug fixes, preview dialing enhancements and interface updates.

Report generation has been optimized to increase performance and reduce execution time.

Performance updates were performed in the Quality Assurance app to ease filtering and for faster retrieval of information.

ACD routing engine has been updated to increase reliability, improve estimated hold time calculations, and for better call handling
