Hello,
i am new to this site. We are in close talks with a leading US telecom VOIP service provider, and are expecting to close a deal to take up telemareting of their products.

Having been in the contact center business for nearly 15 years I am afraid I am getting to hum-drum in my reporting. I have the ability to build everything new as we are merging two areas and I would love to hear from people on what they consider their "Top 10" numbers they like to see on Queue Reports and Agent Reports.
I would like to implement live chat services for the web sites we design/host for our clients. I'm concerned about a chat request being ignored, (or a phone call dropped, due to chat) given the volatile volume of inbound phones and email.

We support anywhere f
What is considered "acceptable" dead-air time? That is, a customer is on a live call with an agent, and the agent is working the issue but not speaking and not placing the caller on hold. How long is considered TOO long without speaking?
Not sure if the requested information is available, however I am looking for any feedback on floor plans to house a Human Services Service Center or potential problems that we should watch out for when designing the area as noted below.
