Expert Agent Selection (Category A only)
Use Expert Agent Selection (EAS) to route incoming Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
calls to the agent who is best qualified to handle the call, that is, the agent with the
specialized skills or experience required to best meet the caller's needs.
In addition, EAS provides the following capabilities:
You assign all agent functions to the agent login ID and not to a physical phone.
Therefore, EAS agents can login to and work at any phone in the system.
Using the agent login ID, a caller places a call directly to a specific agent. These calls
can be treated and reported as ACD calls.
EAS ensures the best possible service to the caller.
