Avaya Call Management
System
Avaya Call Management System (CMS) is an integrated
analysis and reporting solution that keeps you in touch with
virtually everything that’s going on in your contact center
from evaluating the performance of a single agent or group
of agents to managing a contact center with multiple
locations worldwide. Working with one or more of your
Avaya media servers and/or gateways, CMS delivers robust
real-time monitoring and historical reporting including Elite
Multichannel information, custom reporting, task scheduling,
exception notification, threshold warning, administration and
configuration, and long term ACD data storage.
Increase the efficiency of
your call center
Optimize performance across multiple
channels. Improve service levels and
increase agent efficiency by monitoring
and reporting response times across
Avaya Aura Call Center Elite systems and
non-voice channels supported by Elite
Multichannel. A simple add-on to your
Elite system, Elite Multichannel enables
response time reporting and monitoring
that can increase agent efficiency for
voice, e-mail, fax, web Chat, SMS text or
social media customer contact.
Manage dynamic call volumes without
adding staff. Monitor and analyze
everything from wait times and average
answer speeds to the percentage by
which abandoned call times have gone
down in the past year. Make a wellinformed decision based on real-time CMS
data to redirect calls on-the-fly or to
redistribute expensive human resources.
Increase performance, minimize costs or
develop new or improved procedures by
leveraging historical data.
Enhance productivity while controlling
costs. Realize a quick return on your CMS

benefitting from your investment over
time by leveraging historical data to
analyze trends and to establish
performance benchmarks.
