    Before Any Planning and DesignIs Made

    Who are the business, customer service, and technicalstakeholders?

    What are the business and operational milestone dates forsystem acceptance and full production ?

    What business problem(s) are we solving?

    What current customer service functionality exists?

    Does unified contact center express meet the requiredfunctional and technical requirements?

    Does the customer have all the required infrastructure and

    unified communications applications? What is the exit criteria for the completion of the

    deployment?

    Objectives

    Be sure to properly size Unified IP Contact CenterExpress (CC Express) using calculators provided byCisco Systems

    Understand your data network considerationspertaining to a CC Express deployment

    Please use (frequently!) the Cisco Unified CC ExpressSolutions Reference Network Design to support a

    contact center design and deployment

    Application Design and User/Caller are AdditionalConsiderations for Planning and Design for CC Express

    Call Processing Models

    Contact Center Express integrates with a single UC ManagerCluster and supports the Call Processing Models forUC Manager:

    Single-Site Call Processing (Centralized)

    UC Manager, Phones and CCX all at a single site

    Agents on the LAN at the same site/campus as CCX Server

    Multi-Site Centralized Call Processing

    UC Manager and CCX Servers centralized in a data centerAgents locally on the LAN or remotely across the WAN

    Clustering over the WAN (Centralized Call Processing)

    UC Manager cluster split between data center locations

    CCX Servers co-located in Data Center with UC Manager

    Agents locally on the LAN or remotely across the WAN

    Design Components

    In planning and design for Contact Center Express systems,three key design components are considered:

    Ingress Gateways/PSTN Trunks

    How the calls get into the CC Express system

    UC Manager CTI Ports/CCX IVR and Queue Ports

    Virtual devices used by UC Manager and CC Express to handle callscoming into the system

    Contact Center AgentsThe people who answer the calls and handle the contacts

    Sizing Is a Process...

    Put together a list/spreadsheet of all the knowns:

    People (agents, supervisors, administrators, callers)

    Call types (800/local numbers)

    What do callers require (self service, directed service, live person)

    What are the business process requirements

    How quickly do they need a service

    What is the caller experience (interaction, speed, resolution)

    How specialized are the agents?

    Operational imperatives

    Definitions of service levels

    Answer every call?

    You will likely not have all the data available!!!

    You may be required to gather these requirements fromboth multiple locations and customer business units.

    Also busy hour occurrences do not occur at the sametime of the day

    Unique requirements likely will reach beyond sizingports, agents, and gateways. They feed into otheraspects of operational and technical requirements

    You may only have some metrics, or no metrics at all!

    This is what makes planning and design fun!!!

    2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All r ights reserved. Cisco Public 34BRKVVT-220814724_05_2008_X1

    When sizing call center IVR ports and PSTN trunks,it is better to over provision; cost of extra capacity ismuch cheaper than lost revenue, bad service or legalrisk of not meeting SLA (if under provisioned)

    Consider the seasonal busy hour versus average busyhour; marketing campaigns where calls bunch up

    Consider agent staffing, availability, attendance,

    adherence to schedule, occupancy, different agentshifts, different time zone, reuse of facilities

    Provision extra IVR and GW ports for growth andunforeseen fluctuationsreserve about 20% extracapacity (reality will be different than modeling)

    Call Routing Techniques

    Route to Contact Service Queue (CSQ)

    Enforces agent (resource) selection rules

    Determines which agent to get call, advises script

    Manages queue when agents are not available

    Route to Agent (Premium Only)

    Selects a specified agent

    Script determines agent, delivers call on Unified CC Expressextension if agent is ready

    System does not queue for agent

    Circular: Selects the next available agent in a resourcegroup in circular order

    Longest Available: Selects the agent who has been in readystate longest

    Most Handled Contacts: Selects the agent who hasanswered the most handled calls

    Shortest Average Handle Time: Selects the agent whogenerally spends the least amount of time talking tocustomers
