A Web-based call routing management workstation application which allows authorized
customers to control toll free routing and monitor call center status. An architecture
including one or more web servers located in a firewalled demilitarized zone (DMZ)
as communications medium between the customer workstations at the customer sites
and the enterprise back-end applications providing the call routing management
services, provides a secure infrastructure for accessing the enterprise applications
via the otherwise insecure public Internet. The present invention enables creation
and management of call by call routing rules by a customer with a workstation having
an Internet access and a supported Web browser. The customized rules may be tested
and/or debugged via the Web-enabled workstation, using a debugger/tester which
runs the routing rules under a simulated environment. In addition, customers may
provision hierarchies for their business; create, modify or delete agent pools;
manipulate capacity tables; and define quota schemes, value lists and schedule
tables, all at the customer site via the Web-enabled workstation. The present invention
also enables the customers to view near real-time displays of call center ACD statistics
and peg counts based on routing rules, as well as, run provisioning and statistical
reports on provisioning and statistical data and also to extract the data for further
analysis. Additionally, the present invention supports foreign language and branding
features on a graphical user interface. An infrastructure is provided which enables
secure initiation, acquisition, and presentation of the call manager functionalities
to customers from any computer workstation having a web browser and located anywhere
in the world.
