RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2002

AMC Technology, L.L.C., an industry leader in enabling multi-channel communication technology for contact centers, announced today the availability of the Intelligent Routing Module for mySAP(TM) Customer Relationship Management (mySAP(TM) CRM).

The Intelligent Routing Module, an extension to AMC's Multi-Channel Management Suite(TM), is a multi-channel, vendor-neutral routing interface and engine that leverages data from across the enterprise to route contacts to the appropriate agent based on real-time statistics, customer-stored data, or company-defined business rules.

AMC's new routing solution delivers benefits to contact centers and to third party CTI vendors. Through its integration with SAP(R) Workflow, the Intelligent Routing Module can determine the best routing option for an incoming contact using the workflow engine. It can operate as a broker of communication between existing routing engines and the SAP system, or it can be its own engine with a full range of routing functionality to handle all communication channels.

For third party CTI vendors who currently do not have connectivity into the SAP system for their routing solutions, the Intelligent Routing Module provides the interface they need to develop this integration using their own scripting language. The open architecture design of the Intelligent Routing Module opens up the SAP environment to third party CTI vendors and provides contact centers with more options when selecting best-of-breed solutions for their operations.

"In order to provide more consistent and personal customer service, today's contact centers need to leverage all customer data that is available across the enterprise," said Anthony X. Uliano, President and CTO of AMC Technology. "Our intelligent routing solution is designed to enable existing applications, as well as other vendors' applications, to integrate seamlessly with the SAP system in order to retrieve information and route the contact to the agent who can best handle it."

The Intelligent Routing Module communicates with existing CTI solutions and CRM applications and databases, and leverages information stored in these systems to route contacts. The solution places ultimate routing control in the hands of the contact center, enabling companies to create business-centric routing strategies that can be easily customized to meet changing needs. The Intelligent Routing Module Version 1.0 is currently available for mySAP(TM) CRM and SAP(R) R/3(R) Enterprise.
