Global Changes

Weak Password Prevention

Each user's password will be checked against a repository of commonly used passwords. If their password matches one of the commonly used passwords, they will be forced to create a new password. Some of the passwords that will be rejected include:

  • Any password that includes the word "password." For example, Password@1234.
  • Any password that includes the user's email address, username, first name, last name, or system name.

Passwords will be checked against this repository whenever:

  • A new user is activated.
  • A user's password expires.
  • A user resets their password.

Preventing weak passwords will increase the security of your system.

SightCall

SightCall Vision

SightCall Vision will enhance your support options with live video, augmented reality (AR) capabilities, and Computer Vision AI. It will help your agents assist contacts as if they were on site. For example, a contact might need help troubleshooting an espresso machine. Using their camera phone, the contact could show your agent what the issue is. SightCall Vision will also have a variety of additional features to improve support, such as:

  • Before the contact interacts with an agent, they will be able to capture data with their camera. This will use AI Recognition to analyze visual data like bar codes, model numbers, or contact information.
  • AI Recommendations will be able to present prompts based on the visual data, like service articles or troubleshooting steps. This will also be able to get the contact's geolocation to streamline the ordering and shipment of a new part.
  • AR annotations will let agents interact with the video feed. They will be able to draw on the screen, like circling a button to press on the espresso machine, or make annotations.
  • AI Report summaries will capture all information of an interaction. This will include pictures, annotations, label scans, transcripts, and more. Agents will be able to use this information for their own support summaries.

Video, AR, and AI capabilities will help contacts and agents work together more effectively to solve issues. This will make support interactions more pleasant and efficient.

Adapters

Previous State Subscriber State for Presence Sync

You will be able to set a new ACD subscriber state in your Presence Sync subscriber rules. This new state will be called previous state. When set as the ACD state in a rule, the Contact Center agent application will return to whichever state it was previously in. For example, Busy for Microsoft Teams is mapped to Previous State for the Contact Center ACD. In this scenario:

  • An agent's Microsoft Teams state is Busy and they set their Contact Center state to Available.
  • The agent receives a call in Microsoft Teams.
  • Their Microsoft Teams state changes to Busy - In a call and their Contact Center state changes to Unavailable - Teams.
  • The agent ends the call in Microsoft Teams.
  • Their Microsoft Teams state returns to Busy.
  • Because the Microsoft Teams state is Busy, and Busy is mapped to Previous State, the Contact Center state returns to Available.

In this example, Busy is not mapped to a specific state in Contact Center. Rather, when the Microsoft Teams state changes to Busy, the Contact Center state will return to its previous state, which was Available.

  • Bitrates
  • Packet loss

This page will let you analyze technical details about calls, which will make troubleshooting easier. You will be able to pinpoint precisely where call issues exist and where to implement fixes. The Call Details tab of each contact record will have a new button to open this page.

Increased Speed of Hot Leads

The speed of hot leads through the Contact Center system will be increased. This will reduce the time it takes from when a contact invites a solicitation to the moment they connect with your organization. For example, a contact requests a quote for insurance. The request is brokered to five different companies. Studies show that the first company to engage with the contact after this kind of request has an 85% or better chance of closing the opportunity. The increased speed of hot leads through Contact Center will allow you to be more competitive and increase your chances of gaining more business.

UNLINKAGENT Action

The existing UNLINK action removes the agent from the call and puts the call back in a post-queue state. This ends the agent leg session. The new UNLINKAGENT action will also disconnect the agent from the contact in Contact Center, but it will keep the agent leg connected to the call. The agent will be able to use their physical phone (PBX) to transfer the call to a department with a phone extension that cannot be dialed within Contact Center. Certain phone types cannot support this kind of transfer, including softphones.

 

You will need to use the INDICATE action to give the agent a way to trigger the UNLINKAGENT logic. Agents will enter the next agent state in their workflow after they unlink from a call. If they unlink before transferring, they will need time in a working state like ACW . This will let them complete the physical transfer before receiving another call in the agent application. Alternatively, you could train your agents to transfer the call on their phone before unlinking it in the agent application.

 

UNLINKAGENT will be available to use in any inbound or manual outbound phone script.

New Method for Monitoring Adherence

There will be a new method to monitor and report adherence. The Actual and Scheduled activity codes will be grouped into categories. When the categories match, the agent will be in adherence. This provides customers with a more accurate and flexible system for comparing agent schedules with their actual states.

 

With this feature:

  • You will be able to assign overtime activities and working-hour activities to the same category.
  • Only agents that have a scheduled activity or actual activity will be monitored.
  • Agents that aren't scheduled and not working won't be monitored (including agents that are out of office).
  • You will be able to filter Real Time Adherence (RTA) data by groups.

There will be a new Adherence category page where you assign activity codes to categories. There will also be two more columns in RTA and the Adherence report: Scheduled Category and Actual Category. The ACD mapping page won’t be affected.

 

The new adherence method will require manual activation. Before activating, you will be able to simulate and see the results.
