Issue 03 (02) Upgrading from Call Center Reporting to Reporting for Call Center
Introduction
Upgraded Product Architecture
Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center has undergone several major changes from previous
versions of Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting 2.5/3.0/3.5. The following sections list some
main differences between the upgraded architecture and the previous versions.
For a full description of the upgraded features of Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center,
refer to the Reporting for Call Center Setup and Operations Guide.
Upgraded Browser-Based Interface
Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center is a reporting tool for the Call Center. It has a
browser-based interface, visually similar to the Call Pilot Manager. As with the Call Pilot
interface, it is accessed from an Internet Explorer browser session.
Upgraded Web Host PC software
Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center has a single software installation on one Personal
Computer (PC). This PC is the Web Host PC, which functions similarly to the Master PC in the
former Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting 2.5/3.0/3.5 streams.
The Web Host PC stores the historical statistical databases. It is connected to the Call Center to
obtain the historical statistical information and Real Time screen information.
The wallboards are also driven from the Web Host PC.
Upgrade! No Multiple Client software to install
In the Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center streams, the customer had to install ‘Multiple
Client’ software onto other PCs to view the Real Time screens or Reports.
With Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center, the users of those other PCs use Internet
Explorer to browse back to the Web Host PC to access the Real Time screens and Reports.
No Client software is now required for the other PCs.
Upgrade! No Upload of Call Center Configuration
In the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting 2.5/3.0/3.5 streams, the customer had to upload the
Call Center configuration to view the Agent, Line, and Skillset names in the Reports and Real
Time screens. If the Call Center configuration was modified, the Configuration Upload step had
to be performed again.
Nortel Networks Reporting for Call Center automatically obtains the information it needs for the
Real Time screens and Reports from the Call Center, and it does not need to store a copy of the
Call Center configuration.
