Overview Avaya Contact Flow Analyticsis a powerful analytical and reporting application module that Avaya Aura® Performance Center supports. Using Contact Flow Analytics, you can make informed decisions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your contact center. Contact Flow Analytics visually displays the flow of calls into your contact center by using flowgraphs so that you can gain key insights into contact center performance. Using Contact Flow Analytics, you can discover and explore call routing flows. Contact Flow Analytics performs reporting on assisted calls, which are calls that agents handle. You can view the data that is captured by Contact Flow Analytics as dashboards, flowgraphs, or other spreadsheet reports. Using Contact Flow Analytics, you can answer business questions and challenges related to the following Key Performance Indicators (KPI): • Routing performance • Agent Performance • Customer experience

Features Avaya Contact Flow Analytics includes the following features: • Contact Flow Visualizations: Contact Flow Analytics uses graphical representation, or flowgraphs, to visually represent call data. This visual representation makes analysis of complex information easy. The flowgraphs represent the flow of contacts in the contact center with nodes depicting the different stages that the call traverses and links showing the transitions from one stage to another. You can view the contact flows at different levels of detail. You can filter the contact flows to help the user focus on routing patterns or agent behaviors. • Performance metrics and dashboards: Contact Flow Analytics supports different KPIs for agents, skills, and VDNs with the capability to set targets and compare with benchmarks for selected KPIs. Contact Flow Analytics provides standard dashboards that users can customize

10 Contact Flow Analytics Overview and Specification November 2014 Comments? [email protected] New in this release

to provide valuable insights. Users can also build customized dashboards using the report designer provided as part of the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) framework. • Reporting on assisted calls: Contact Flow Analytics generates reports, dashboards, and flowgraphs by using the comprehensive External Call History (ECH) data that Call Management System (CMS) collects. Using information from the ECH data, Contact Flow Analytics reports about the entire lifetime of a call as the call is routed across various skills and agents. • Drill-down and drill-through capabilities: Using Contact Flow Analytics, you can drill down and drill through the reported information across several dashboards, nodes, and links. You can also use the drill-down capability for bar graphs, pivot tables, and contact flowgraphs. • Datamart for ECH data: Contact Flow Analytics supports datamarts that consist of ECH data in a dimensional model with VDN, Skill, Agent, and other useful dimensions.

New in this release Avaya Contact Flow Analytics on Avaya Aura® Performance Center 7.1 offers the following capabilities: • Call flow Improvements: To gain access to the ACD filter, use the Basic Filters section. To gain access to the Hold Abandon input filter, use the Customer Experience Filtering section. • Report - Contact Detail (call level): Use this feature to get a detailed report summarizing the experience of the customer at the contact level. You can use this report to drill down to individual segments to understand how the contact center handled the call at each segment. • Support for report users to run reports using user selected time zone: Use this feature to enter or select a time zone so that you see the selected time zone in the report. Using this feature, you can analyze and view reports without the need to mentally convert the dates and times for the report output. • Internationalization and Localization: This feature supports internationalization and localization of Contact Flow Analytics for the non-English report users of Avaya Aura® Performance Center. Users can perform tasks using any of the supported native languages. Contact Flow Analytics supports the following native languages:
