Dynamics Telephony provides real agent efficiencies, saving time on every inbound and outbound call. All through a beautifully simple and seamless integration between CRM and AACC.

All calls logged in CRM automatically. This means your customer records in CRM have a full trace of all inbound and outbound conversations.

Agents have all the Contact Center controls they need: Login/ Logout, Ready / Not Ready, Not Ready Reasons (read from Avaya), accept / reject calls, hold transfer and conference.

Inbound screen pop means the handling time of every call is reduced. Dynamics Telephony retrieves the callers number from Avaya Aura and uses it to find the callers record in CRM. This can be CRM lead, opportunity, case, contact or account

Skillset support means the skillset called is passed to your CRM page to be logged in CRM, and to influence the data displayed to the agent so they can deal with the call correctly.

Inbound Dialed Number or DNIS support means that agents can see which phone line, or DNIS, the call is coming in on. This can be via name and logo, like this..

Also, the DNIS can cause the popped CRM page to be populated based on DNIS. For example, to select the Marketing Campaign or Source of the call.

IVR Data can be used for the screen pop (e.g. an order number), or to show IVR choices made (e.g. the caller wants to make a purchase), or to show the caller has been pre-authenticated by the IVR.

Avaya Outbound contacts can be processed by Dynamics Telephony. This means that contacts presented to an agent by Avaya Outbound will pop the related record in CRM and will be processed by the Dynamics Telephony progressive dialer algorithm. See HERE for more details

Click-to-dial is available for all phone numbers in CRM – those in a list and those in an entity. The call is automatically dialed and logged in CRM

CRM Dashboards showing unified CRM & Telephony data are provided. You can adjust these for your own needs using standard CRM tools, as all data is stored in CRM. See HERE for more.

Dynamics Telephony is specifically designed to be flexible to meet many advanced need – out-of-the-box. But in addition, it is designed to be extensible to meet your specific needs easily. See the full list of Dynamics Telephony features HERE

VOIP on Terminal Services

See also: TMCnet blog

VOIP is supported on a Terminal Services session. The audio (microphone and speaker) of the local PC is used via redirection from the remote session. You need Windows Server 2008 RDS or later.

However, you do need to make sure you have sufficient bandwith (especially from server to PC as this has to carry video and audio now) and that the Terminal Server itself can handle the load.

Bandwidth requirement for a Terminal Services session is around 30kbps and a VOIP session would usually be 16kbps or 24kbps, but could be as high as 64kbps if the G.711 codec is used. So check which codec you use for VOIP.
