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.
