Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Services

ACD Service

ACD service offers:

  • Maximized call handling, increased mission success and optimized customer satisfaction.
  • Interface and access to reports, agent performance statistics, the ability to adjust staffing and monitoring of staff to ensure proper training measures are taken.

Customer service, reservation, catalog, help desks, billing offices, and telemarketing operations are excellent environments for ACD applications.

In addition to monthly costs associated with telephone lines, features, and sets, the monthly ACD charge is $20 per phone. Contact the Division of IT for details and a complete needs assessment.
