 has demonstrated a track record of successfully delivering industry-leading call management solutions. SER's Call Processing In telecommunication, the term call processing has the following meanings:
  1. The sequence of operations performed by a switching system from the acceptance of an incoming call through the final disposition of the call.
 System[TM] (CPS (1) (Characters Per Second) The measurement of the speed of a serial printer or the speed of a data transfer between hardware devices or over a communications channel. CPS is equivalent to bytes per second. ) is the most proven and cost-effective call management system available in the market today that fully complies with the new FCC/FTC regulations:

Abandon Call Restrictions

SER has worked ensure CPS addresses the newest Federal mandates surrounding abandoned calls. CPS complies with the safe-harbor provisions of the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) Refers to a program that remains in memory when the user exits it in order that it be immediately available at the press of a hotkey.  and TCPA (Trusted Computer Platform Alliance, TCPA Program Office, Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR, www.trustedcomputing.org) A membership organization founded in 1999 by Microsoft, HP, Intel, Compaq and IBM. It was superseded by the Trusted Computing Group (see TCG).  by: (i) setting a maximum abandon rate of 3 percent per day per campaign; (ii) allowing all calls to ring for at least 15 seconds or 4 rings before disconnecting an unanswered call; and (iii) using SER's Encore Plus[TM] automated message delivery system to record and play campaign-specific messages in the unlikely event that an agent is not available to answer a call within the 2 second requirement. To comply with the "2-second transfer to agent" requirement, CPS provides two compliance options which the customer must configure See configuration.

(software) configure - A program by Richard Stallman to discover properties of the current platform and to set up make to compile and install gcc.

Cygnus configure was a similar system developed by K.
 and manage.

Operating with Answering Machine Detection enabled, the system detects a person's greeting and transfers the call to an agent within the 2 second requirement. To verify compliance, CPS, when working in conjunction with SER's TSP TSP - travelling salesman problem [TM] outbound dialer, provides a timestamp of both the voice detection and transfer events enabling customers to create compliance-specific reports.

Alternatively, operating in Normal mode (predictive dialing without answering machine detection), CPS transfers the call to an agent immediately upon receiving the "off-hook" signal from the telecommunications provider - thereby guaranteeing the 2-second transfer requirement.

Transmission of Caller ID A telephone company service that sends the caller's telephone number between the first and second ring of the call. If the calling number is not blocked, the calling number is displayed on the handset or base station of the called party.  

CPS, when used in conjunction with the TSP, can be configured con·fig·ure  
tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures
To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses:
 by campaign to transmit and subsequently display the telephone number and message of choice on caller ID screens of called parties, where available by the local Telecom provider. With this enhanced Caller ID capability, service bureaus can transmit the client-specific information, company name and telephone number, instead of that of the service bureau.

National Do-Not-Call Registry

CPS provides a Do-Not-Call utility that compares records about to be called against a Do-Not-Call list in real time, while dialing is taking place. The Do-Not-Call utility compares records to an external database of numbers not to call and marks a record as a "do not call" if a match is found. Any marked records will not be dialed.

WITHOUT ABANDONING PRODUCTIVITY

Now more than ever, the challenge for contact center operators is to implement solutions that increase productivity while providing the capability to effectively address these crucial regulatory mandates. The key is to maximize talk time per hour while keeping the abandon rate low.

SER's patented SmartPace[R] VI dialing algorithm generates more connects per hour by increasing the number of live connects while effectively eliminating unwanted answering machines, fax machines, and busy signals. SmartPace VI is uniquely capable of maximizing agent efficiency even when the abandon rate is set at the mandated 3% and the number of agents on a campaign is relatively small.
