Call Vectoring works hand in hand with and, more importantly, enhances
traditional ACD call processing, which may be illustrated as follows:
1. Dialed Number Identification Service
2. Direct Inward Dialing
Figure 1-1. Traditional ACD Call Processing
As Figure 1-1 illustrates, the traditional ACD approach is rather limited in the way
it handles queued calls (that is, all calls within a specific queue receive identical
announcements, intraflow parameters, etc.). Call Vectoring, on the other hand, is
flexible in that it permits unique treatments for each call according to a number of
factors, including the number the caller dials, the number the caller calls from,
the number of calls in queue, and the time of day and/or day of the week. This
even applies to all calls that are ultimately handled by the same agent group.
Call Vectoring is comprised of three basic components, including:
■ Vector Directory Numbers
■ Vectors
■ Vector commands
