Call Center

• 

• When using traditional PCs in the call center set-up, the initial purchase expenses of computers are huge and their deployment is time-consuming and difficult. In the upcoming months of overuse, the traditional computers run-down and become uneasy to manage. You need more workforce and equipment resources to repair and maintain them, which is expensive. These factors increase the company’s expenditures only. As each agent or employee gets a computer to access business or service system, the expenditures of the company escalate more.

  – The expenses of purchase, deployement, management and maintenance with PCs are significantly high for light workload call centers.

  – The maintenance of PCs is troublesome as PCs have numerous components that are usually required fixes and repaires.

  – PCs are noisy when running and big in size to take away more office space.

  – Power consumption of PCs is hight and they produces more heat and is more demanding for the cooling system.

Solution

• vCloudPoint zero clients, combined with vMatrix Server Manager software, provides an innovative way of desktop computing by powering multiple users with just one host computer. The vCloudPoint zero client devices have no moving parts, no hardware for processing or storage. All processing and storage are done on the host computer. Hence, there is no need to install local drivers, managing patches and no software licensing fees and updates for the zero clients as they serve only as input and output devices. The vMatrix Server Manager software, running on the host PC, enhances the overall functionality and usability of the sharing system by offering connection brokering, graphics acceleration, audio & USB redirection, centralized management. IT Administrators can configure, monitor and manage the endpoint devices and users centrally and simply at the server side through the front-end console. vCloudPoint zero clients, combined with vMatrix Server Manager software, provide a computing experience that is practically indistinguishable from running on a PC and offer great advantages over traditional PCs, such as saved costs, enhanced security, reduced maintenance, and simplified deployment and management.

Benefits

• • vCloudPoint zero client minimizes the purchase costs of PCs by 50%. Its power consumption is only 5W by average and only 1KW consumption for a month.
  • The zero client is the size of a hand and can be hung on the back of the monitor to save desk footprint; Users connect to the host through the local area network while the host can be move back to the data center, therefore, network structure is unaltered.
  • It takes only a few hours to deploy the entire office. To add a new end user, you simply create a new user, connect the zero client and the new workstation is ready in seconds.
  • The host takes the job of processing and storage and the zero client only takes input and output. Hence, data lost caused by sudden power failure of the zero client is eliminated.
  • Since the user data is centrally stored on the shared host, data loss or leak is negative. Even if the terminal is missing, data remains secure. IT staff can monitor the users and prevent the usage of USB and other storage devices and copying of important data to their removable disks.
• • Administrators by authorization can view terminal desktops in real-time and provide support or solve problems directly from the host through remote control, reducing the time and trouble of travelling to site.
  • vCloudPoint zero client has no breakable parts. All repairs and maintenance including installations, configurations, patching, and upgrades are minimized to the single host. Meanwhile,
    users cannot modify system files or installing applications, which reduces risks of virus infection or system crack.
  • Users can access their deskops and files in the host from any client device with the given account. Even when a zero client turn faulty, they can quickly get back to work by simply replacing with a new zero client.
  • The zero clients have no fan so they make no noise when running. They consumes much less power and generate less heat when compared to PCs.
  • The server software integrates user and device management functions for the administrator to remotely manage each agent and device, as well as send files and messages.

• Components：

  Call center system (local or cloud) + B/S business system + vCloudPoint system + Voice gateway.

  The vCloudPoint system includes:

  • Shared host: the computing and storage machine that delivers virtual desktops to end users.
  • Zero client devices: the devices for connecting end users to the virtual desktops on the host.
  • vMatrix Server Manager:  running on the host to enhances the overall functionality and usability of the sharing system by offering connection brokering, graphics acceleration, audio & USB redirection, and centralized management.

  Depending on the real implementations, customers may need to purchase additional network devices, keyboard & mouse and monitor for each workstation, and other necessary hardware or software in use with the computing system.

• Implementation Steps:

  To integare vCloudPoint system into the service infrasture, the structure of the call center system (CTI, IVR, ACD….) remains unaltered, you simply replace the PCs with zero clients and vMatrix host. Employees connect to the host with given accounts and get access to the web-side CRM system.

  • Connect the zero client devices to monitor, USB peripherals and then connect to the LAN switch through the network cable.
  • Install the vMatrix Server Manager, the multi-user patch, USB drivers and other required applications on the host.
  • Create user accounts with vMatrix Server Manager.
  • Login with created user accounts and ready to work on the zero clients.

  Optional:

  • You can do some configurations depending on your specific use case, for example, setting themes, wallpaper, desktop icons, auto-run application and USB policy for users.
  • You can use third-party recovery software or Windows systems for crash recovery or data back-up.
