Fonality is updating its software to Version 5. Here are some of the highlights. Please contact me with questions.
Back end is now Asterisk 1.6 – this means a faster, more efficient call processing engine that can take advantage of newer multi-core and multi-threaded processors. In addition, there are new codecs available to us that open up a lot of opportunities for future enhancements.
Extensions / users:
Users – we realized at Fonality that more and more often, users have multiple extensions, so now, rather than having an extension assigned to a user, we have users who have one or more extensions assigned to them. This allows us to do some more interesting things in HUD and creates a more cost effective way for a user to have multiple extensions.
Add user wizard – because of the new user based model, we now have a wizard for adding extensions. This allows you to (list out options).
Extension Status – FONscore
Fonality Professional and Enterprise – pick and choose your version
Toll restriction – The ability to only allow certain dial plans to be dialed by certain users.
ACD improvements:
Queue autofill – rather than one call being distributed to an agent at a time, we can now pass calls to agents as they come into the queue, completely bypassing any music on hold if an agent is available.
Queue priority – The ability to prioritize one queue over another. This allows you to set up 'priority’ queues for special customers.
TTA SLA – How many calls were answered within X number of seconds?
Reasons – You can now create reasons for your agents that they have to choose when logging out of the queue. These can now be reported on.
ACD reports – new reports: Reason reports, SLA reports, export to CSV
Other CP stuff
Call quality reports
Phone settings – download config via LAN or via Internet
Enable firewall
HUD
New supported OS’s – Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Windows 7
