Describes the four main ACD reporting databases.
Basic Call Management System (BCMS)
BCMS is an optional software package (residing on the PBX/communication server) used
to provide real-time and historical reports to assist in managing ACD splits/skills, agents
(extensions), trunk groups and VDNs (G3 only). These reports, provided by the system,
are a subset of those reports available with the CMS adjunct.
Avaya Call Management System (CMS)
(Category A only)
The CMS is an adjunct that collects specific ACD data on measured splits/skills, measured
agents, measured extensions, measured trunks and measured trunk groups for reporting
purposes. If Call Vectoring is purchased, ACD will report on measured VDNs and Vectors.
CMS provides call management performance recording and reporting. It can also be used
to perform some ACD administration. CMS is used by customers to determine how well
their customers are being served (i.e., speed of call answers, number of calls) and how
efficient their call management operation is (i.e., agents versus traffic requirements).
How CMS works with ACD
To collect information on ACD, CMS must be able to communicate with the ACD resident
in the communication server. The communication server to CMS Platform communication
consists of electronic messages sent back and forth between the ACD communication
server and the CMS Platform via a data link. There are two types of messages:
●
Translations – Translations tell CMS the configuration of the ACD. This includes what
data is measured (to be collected) and the ACD assignments.
●
Status Changes – Status Changes tell CMS when the states of agents or trunks change
due to call activity. Occurrences are counted and durations are tracked.
Note:
Note:
CMS can also be used to change configurations within the ACD. Therefore,
CMS can at times send translations back to the PBX.
