Call queing without IPCC

[Billy Dodson]

Is there a way to que calles without using IPCC? Everything I find on the cisco site dealing with call queing seems to point back to IPCC. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Hello Billy,

The Cisco CRA/CRS (Customer Response Application) provides intelligent call queuing capabilities via IP-ICD (IP Integrated Contact Distribution) packages for small to medium call centers.

Thanks for your reply. I know that ICD is very costly, is there not a cheaper solution for a very small call center? I appreciate your help

If you have a unity server you could do some configuration on that to setup call handlers to do basic call que management

Do you know of any articles that demonstrate how this can be acomplished?

ARC Solutions (www.arcsolutions.com) offer ACD and Operator functionality that uses a call queuing facility.

We are verified on all CCM versions.

I just use web attendant; when you want an agent to take calls just have them open the attendant console. Works like a champ. You can even base which agent takes the next call by the longest idle time. If you need help setting it up just let me know.
