3. Do you have sufficient telephony capacity to handle your call volumes? Using the network call reporting package shows all answered, unanswered and engaged call attempts to each NGN and allows you to see were you are losing potential business on callers not being able to contact you – by using these reports we can work with you to solve potential capacity issues with network call queuing products for example.
4. Do you distribute calls out to different termination numbers? If so do you know how effectively each site is answering calls or not answering calls? Using the network TLI (terminating line identifier) report will show you the different termination numbers for each NGN and whether it was an answered, unanswered or engaged call.

7. Do you know how many times an individual caller tries to contact you each day? By using the caller analysis report you can see the total number of offered calls to each NGN and also the total number of unique callers CLI's that those calls have originated from.
8. How do you view or access your call stats? The network call stats package consists of both a live web portal to run ad hoc reports but also contains an option to receive call reports automatically by email to pre-defined email address meaning that you don't have to rely on members of staff logging in to view the stats.
9. How do you handle your seasonal staffing levels based on previous years call volumes?
