When Promero's technical support agent opens a call, Customer will provide the agent a Severity Level assessment. The table above shall be used by both parties as a determination of response by Promero. Calculation of response time commences upon Promero receipt and understanding of Customer's service call initiating the problem until the time and day Promero's agent returns the call and begins resolution of the problem. For Severity Level One and Severity Level Two calls that do not receive a resolution within twenty-four (24) hours of the initial Company call, Customer may request a credit based on prorated payment of the monthly Service Support invoices for any and all time beginning from the period defined in Remedy, and ending at the time the Performance Problem is resolved. Upon verification by Promero of the time to remedy Severity Level One and Severity Level Two problem, Promero will issue credit prorated based on the outage period.
Definition of Simultaneous Interactions(SI). NOTE: SIs apply only to the Standard Services Agreement that utilize SIs for configuring the monthly recurring costs in the financial model.
Interaction Type |
Counts As Interaction During These Instances |
Does Not Count As Interaction During These Instances |
Incoming PSTN or Internet/IP-based Phone Call (either ACD or non-ACD) [Applies also to intra-system calls between users, agents, and supervisors] |
The duration of this type of Interaction starts when the phone is answered by the system up to the point of when the caller or agent hangs up and the system receives a disconnect signal. This is the duration of the Interaction, regardless of the call being automatically answered, sent to voice mail, automated attendant usage, music on hold or music in queue, switched or patched to another trunk, routed to an agent, put on hold, serviced by an IVR menu or otherwise held in the loop by the system. |
If the system plays out a busy signal or rings continually and does not answer the call, then it does not count as an Interaction. |
Outgoing PSTN or Internet/IP-based Phone Call, ACD Call-Back, Web-Based Call-Back, ACD Voice Mail Call-Back [Applies also to intra-system calls between users, agents, and supervisors] |
Any outgoing phone call made by a user of the system or by the system itself counts as an Interaction for the length of time the outgoing trunk line or media stream is in use for the duration of the call or call attempt up until disconnect signal. Predictive calls are counted only when they are answered by the called party (live call, answering machine, fax machine, etc). The outbound telephone call portion of a regular ACD callback request, ACD Voice Mail call-back or a Web-based Callback request count as Interactions for the duration of the phone call starting with the beginning of the outgoing trunk or media stream being in use for the call and ending with the disconnect signal of the call. Any outgoing call, whether placed manually or by the system, continues to be an Interaction even while it is on hold. |
|
Incoming Non-ACD Faxes |
When a fax is answered by the system up to the point of when the originator of the fax hangs up and the system receives a disconnect signal. This is the duration of the Interaction, regardless of the fax being automatically answered, switched or patched to another trunk, or otherwise held in the loop by the system. |
Faxes retrieved electronically as e-mail attachments (unified messaging) do not count as Interactions. |
Incoming ACD Faxes |
The duration of time when a fax is answered by the system up to the point of when the originator of the fax hangs up and the system receives a disconnect signal constitutes the first part of an ACD Fax Interaction (regardless of the fax being automatically answered, switched or patched to another trunk, or otherwise held in the loop by the system). The second part of the ACD Fax Interaction starts when the agent (using the Interaction Manager Call Control tab) moves the incoming ACD Fax icon from the New Interactions window into the Active Interactions Window. |
The duration of time when an ACD Fax is in the ACD queue (waiting for an agent to take the Interaction) is not counted as an Interaction. The time the ACD Fax icon is in the "New Interactions" window in the Call Control tab of the Interaction Manager does not count as Interaction time since the item is still in the queue. |
Outgoing Faxes |
Any outgoing fax call made by a user of the system counts as an Interaction for the length of time the outgoing trunk line or media stream (discrete communication channel) is in use for the duration of the call or call attempt up until a disconnect signal occurs. A stand-alone fax fulfillment (not simultaneous with a phone call to the same Customer) by an agent counts as a separate Interaction. |
Faxes sent electronically as in e-mail attachments sent out by an agent with his or her own e-mail Customer do not count as Interactions. |
Incoming ACD Voice Mail |
The first part of an incoming ACD Voice Mail Interaction is included in the "Incoming PSTN or Internet/IP-based Phone Call" description, as it occurs during an existing Interaction between answer and the disconnect signal. The second part of the Interaction starts when the agent (using the Call Control tab in the Interaction Manager) moves the incoming ACD Voice Mail icon from the New Interactions window into the Active Interactions window. |
The duration of time when an ACD Voice Mail is in the ACD queue (waiting for an agent to take the Interaction) is not counted as an Interaction. The time the ACD Voice Mail icon is in the New Interactions window in the Call Control tab of the Interaction Manager does not count as Interaction time since the item is still in the queue. |
Incoming Non-ACD Voice Mail |
The first part of an incoming ACD Voice Mail Interaction is included in the "Incoming PSTN or Internet/IP-based Phone Call" description, as it occurs during an existing Interaction between answer and the disconnect signal. The retrieval of the same Non-ACD Voice Mail via telephone counts as an Interaction for the duration of the call that the Voice Mail is being listened to. If a user calls in to the system to configure his or her mailbox by use of the automated attendant or other touch-tone menus, then the duration of these activities also count as Interaction time. |
Non-ACD Voice Mails do not count as Interactions while they are being listened to with unified messaging (e-mail attachment). |
Incoming Non-ACD E-mail |
Not Applicable |
|
Incoming ACD E-Mail routed to an Agent |
The first part of the ACD E-Mail Interaction starts while it is downloaded by the Software e-mail distributor and ends when the download is complete. The second part of the Interaction starts when the agent (using the Call Control tab in the Interaction Manager) moves the incoming ACD E-Mail icon from the New Interactions window into the Active Interactions window. The third part of the ACD E-Mail Interaction starts when the Software e-mail distributor begins the upload to the agent's SMTP or equivalent e-mail server and ends when the upload is complete. The same is true of semi-automated e-mail response, wherein the system prompts the agent with suggested template responses. |
The duration of time when an ACD E-Mail is in the ACD queue (waiting for an agent to take the Interaction) is not counted as an Interaction. The time the ACD E-Mail icon is in the New Interactions window in the Call Control tab of the Interaction Manager does not count as Interaction time since the item is still in the queue. |
Re-Distribution of an Unanswered ACD E-Mail |
The first part of the Interaction starts when the agent or supervisor (using the Call Control TAB in the Interaction Manager) moves the incoming ACD E-Mail icon from the New Interactions window into the Active Interactions window. The second part of the ACD E-Mail Interaction starts when the Software e-mail distributor begins the upload to the agent's or supervisor's SMTP or equivalent e-mail server and ends when the upload is complete. The same occurs for subsequent re-tries of an unanswered ACD E-Mail. |
During the time the ACD E-Mail is on hold it is not counted as an Interaction. The duration of time when an ACD E-Mail is in the ACD queue (waiting for an agent or supervisor to take the Interaction) does not count as Interaction time. The time the ACD E-Mail icon is in the New Interactions window in the Call Control tab of the Interaction Manager does not count as Interaction time since the item is still in the queue. |
Automated E-Mail Response |
The first part of an Automated E-Mail Response Interaction starts while it is downloaded by the Software e-mail distributor and ends when the download is complete. The second part of the Interaction starts when the system analyzes the content of the incoming ACD E-Mail and ends when the matching templates are identified. The third part of the Automated E-Mail Interaction starts when the Software e-mail distributor begins the response upload to the sender's SMTP or equivalent e-mail server and ends when the upload is complete. |
|
Incoming ACD Chats |
When the chat is answered by the system up to the point of when the caller disconnects the thread or the agent disconnects the thread. This is the duration of the Interaction, regardless of the chat being automatically page-pushed, put in queue or answered by an agent. |
Any tertiary capabilities of an existing Interaction that use the same media stream (discrete communication channel) such as web collaboration or forms sharing do not constitute a second or third Interaction, but rather piggy back on the existing chat Interaction. |
Agent-to-Supervisor or Supervisor-to-Agent Chats [Same applies for non-agent and non-supervisor users of the system] |
|
Any tertiary capabilities that use the same media stream (discrete communication channel) such as web collaboration or forms sharing do not constitute a second or third Interaction, but rather piggy back on the existing chat Interaction. |
Web Collaboration |
See Incoming ACD Chats |
|
Form Sharing Sessions |
See Incoming ACD Chats |
|
Quality Monitoring Sessions of Agents by Supervisors [Same applies for non-agent and non-supervisor users of the system] |
Any quality monitoring session including Listen To Agent, Record Agent, View Agent Screen, Whisper Coach, Join or any other phone call leg or multimedia thread added to an existing agent Interaction constitutes an Interaction for the length of time the quality monitoring leg of the call (PSTN or VoIP) is monitored or joined or recorded by the supervisor. |
Any tertiary capabilities of an existing monitoring session between a supervisor and an agent piggy back on the existing monitoring session and do not constitute an additional Interaction. For example, if a supervisor has established a Listen To Agent session over the telephone and then also does a View Agent Screen, the additional monitoring of the screen does not add another Interaction to the original monitoring. |
Conference Calls |
Each party (beyond the original members of a two-person regular phone call) that makes up a conference call represents a separate, simultaneous Interaction. |
The first and second party (those constituting a regular phone call) make the basis for the first Interaction. When a third party is added, this makes for the second simultaneous Interaction. The fourth party counts as the third simultaneous Interaction. The fifth party counts as the fourth Interaction, and so on. |
Predictive |
Whenever a live person answers a predictive call or a call that plays a recorded announcement until the conclusion of the call as detected by the particular call progress detection software of the selected switching infrastructure (i.e. Intel, Quintum, etc.) Whenever an answering machine or a voicemail service answers a call until the conclusion of the call in circumstances where the system is configured to leave voicemail recordings. |
