Here's a list of overall enhancements to the TASKE 8.0 suite for Inter-Tel AXXESS telephone systems.

  • Easy to Install and Maintain - To save you time, new features have been added to the suite to ensure the applications are easy to install and maintain.
  • Automatic Database Population - The Database Population Utility (DPU) reduces initial configuration time and maintenance efforts. This application automatically populates selected fields in the administrator database with data from the telephone system's agent database. You can run DPU whenever new information is entered in the telephone system, to ensure the administrator database is always up to date.
  • Client Synchronization - You can now automatically update client software, making it simpler to upgrade. Automatic client updates eliminate the need to manually update TASKE client software on every supervisor and agent computer.

New in the TASKE ACD ToolBox

TASKE ACD Monitor

  • Real-time Agent Adherence - This new feature alerts you to non-adherence conditions where the agent's activity does not match the scheduled activity. By comparing an agent's schedule, created using PrimeTime workforce management software, with real-time information, the ACD Monitor can determine if the agent is adhering to the schedule and alert you when non-adherence occurs.
  • Key Statistical Alarms - The ability to generate visual and audible alarms when key operational thresholds are exceeded. Vital for effective call center management, the alarms are displayed by highlighting a section of the button in either warning or critical colors as well as an audio alarm linked to a .wav file.
  • Enhanced ACD Monitor Graphical User Interface (GUI) - The ACD Monitor has a streamlined, yet familiar look. Building upon the ACD Monitor's existing design, new features like user selectable ToolTips in States and Map mode, ability to change state colors, and enhanced GUI have all been added to further improve the overall look and feel to the ACD Monitor.
    Additional Intra-day Reports in Real Time View - Current day statistics and statistics from the past 24 hours have been added to the ACD Monitor.

TASKE Reports

  • Abandoned Call Reporting - A new report included in the ACD ToolBox, Queue by Abandoned Call, displays detailed information on callers that hang up before an agent answers the call. The report lists all abandoned calls for a given queue, including start time, time to abandon and the caller's Auto Number Identification (ANI) information (telephone number and, if available, name or city). You can also run the Queue by Abandoned Call report for any historical PBX record file created by previous versions of TASKE software. This new report allows you to analyze abandoned calls and take corrective action to maintain appropriate service levels.

TASKE Workforce Management

Powered by the award-winning PrimeTime agent scheduling and forecasting solution by Blue Pumpkin Inc., TASKE Workforce Management provides the industry's only real-time monitoring of agent adherence to PrimeTime schedules. We're pleased to announce a new pricing model directed at small- to medium-sized businesses configurations of up to 70 agents. Features include:

  • Real-time Agent Adherence - The ability to export the schedule created in PrimeTime into the TASKE Server, provides the added functionality of real-time agent adherence for those of you using the ACD Monitor.
  • PrimeTime Sage - Sage is a tool that will alert you to any problems that occur when configuring PrimeTime 3.0. If a problem is detected, Sage will notify you and offer a solution to resolve the problem.
  • New Scheduling Formats - Rotation/Team Scheduling - The ability to create rotating shift patterns or create teams and have them start/finish shifts at the same time has been added. The rotation feature is beneficial for achieving fairness among employees in the call center.
  • Scheduling Off Phone Periods in 5-Minute Increments - PrimeTime gives you the ability to create off-phone periods in increments as small as 5 minutes.

OAISYS Integration

  • Net Phone - OAISYS Net Phone v3.2 incorporates traditional "supervisor" features directly from the TASKE interface. Supervisors can now silently monitor agents' calls, join in on a call, or disconnect an agent's call with the click of a mouse. Net Phone lets supervisors log agents in and out of call groups from TASKE. Net Phone also integrates with many of the leading CRM and contact manager programs for screen pops.
  • Auto Call Record - OAISYS Auto Call Record lets TASKE Supervisors manually initiate and terminate phone call recordings. This feature is very beneficial for training and monitoring purposes. Also with Auto Call Record, the TASKE replay feature provides a visual indication of recorded calls and a hyperlink to easily access the recorded call for audio playback.
