The following example shows how Bon Voyage Travel Agency, a hypothetical
business, uses CMS.
CMS AND BON VOYAGE
TRAVEL
At Bon Voyage Travel, agents plan and book trips for several types of
customers. Most of the travel agency’s orders are placed by phone, so CMS
is an important part of the agency’s daily business transactions.
In order to handle three different types of customers and to manage the
frequent overflow of calls, Bon Voyage’s CMS administrator has divided the
telephone lines customers use into four line groups and organized the travel
agents into four splits. Figure 2-1 shows a diagram of Bon Voyage Travel’s
CMS.
