Transfer Advisor: Suggested Likely Transfer Contacts for this Caller

Transfer Advisor automatically suggests the most likely contacts a caller will want to be transferred to based on intelligence gathered from multiple sources including caller history and Office 365 or Microsoft on premises servers.

  • “Transfer Advisor” suggested contacts are shown side by side with Searched contacts
  • Caller history is seamlessly shared among attendants for more rapid relevance with our “No Additional Servers” & “No Server Configuration” sharing technology. (or can be configured not to share)
  • “Transfer Advisor” uses your available Office 365 or On Premises data from Exchange, Skype for Business, Dynamics 365/CRM & LinkedIn to suggest who this caller will want to be transferred to in your company with very high accuracy.

If the “Transfer Advisor” contact group is selected, when you answer a call the group will be populated with suggested contact. If the Transfer Advisor group is not selected when you answer a call, the suggested contacts will displayed in the “Search” panel.

The more services Attendant Pro is connected to (Dynamics 365/CRM, LinkedIn, etc) the more suggestions will light up.

Dynamics 365/CRM & Skype for Business Merged User Experience

The Dynamics 365/CRM integration we are introducing into Attendant Pro is more than “call pop”:  Instead, it is Dynamics & Skype for Business being brought together into one continuous, seamless & familiar user experience. Dynamics 365 lights up new capabilities in the Skype for Business user experience so that what product user’s are using fades into the background and they just effortlessly complete their daily tasks. Below are some of the ways we are bringing together Skype for Business & Dynamics CRM into one experience:

  • Relevant Dynamics 365/CRM Contact/Account information surfaced in Incoming & Handled call toasts
  • Ability to add a Dynamics 365/CRM Activity Note with 1-Click inside a clean & familiar Skype for Business user interface
  • Dynamics 365/CRM Contact/Account owner suggested as likely "Transfer To" candidate
  • Be instantly notified if a PSTN Caller can collaborate using Skype for Business
  • Eliminate the need for users to “Popout” to the slow Dynamics 365/CRM web interface
  • And More

Time stamped Dynamics 365 Activity Note with 1-Click inside a clean & familiar Skype for Business user interface.

Relevant Dynamics 365/CRM Contact/Account information surfaced in Incoming & Handled call toasts

Dynamics 365/CRM Contact/Account owner contact suggested as likely "Transfer To" candidate. It looks just like any other Skype for Business contact but comes from Dynamics 365.

Merging Dynamics 365/CRM & Skype for Business into one continuous, seamless & familiar user experience will be a theme we will build on by adding additional functionality in future releases.

Color Code Call Queue & Response Group Service Calls

We enhance Office 365 Auto Attendant, Call Queues & Response Group Service calls by allowing them to be color coded. Incoming calls from different queues can now be instantly distinguished using colors.

image

Configuration is as simple as associating a color with text contained in the Call Queue/RGS. Just type the matching text and a hexadecimal color code or color name (example: Red) separated by a comma. Examples below:

  • Service,Red;
  • Sales,Green;

Color Code Individual Callers

Caller Name or Number can also be color coded for quick identification of key contacts. Call out very important callers.

Microsoft Teams attendant console User Interface Theme

Microsoft Teams is rapidly becoming a very significant product in the Microsoft Office suite. We are releasing Attendant Pro as the first Microsoft Teams attendant console UX for Cloud PBX or Skype for Business, to build on our theme of being familiar for users who are already using Microsoft products.

image

Since Attendant Pro brings a Dynamics 365/CRM & Skype for Business merged user experience, this means users can complete Dynamics 365 tasks in a familiar Microsoft Teams experience.
