I think we are going to do it if we get big problems with those many queues. From what I'm seeing, the biggest problems seem to be related to agents, so maybe we can have a try at using straight terminals instead of agents. l. On Fri, 05 Jan 2007 01:14:08 +0100, Leo Ann Boon [EMAIL

Yes, unfortunately they want to run a queue for each client, who has different agents located etc. This is a bit like a true Skill-based routing using Asterisk standard mechanisms. Apart for the business problems, I wondered if there are known problems with Asterisk running so many

You are correct, this is more or less the scenario involved - the problem is that people want to call a personalized line AND speak to the same subset of agents preferably. I have never seen such a setup myself - I have seen CCs with 30 or 40 queues, never 200 - so I was wondering if

HI Gavin, wish we could do that! :) the problem is that they want to have personalized agents too - so that each client has its own line AND his own agents, so that they get back to speaking to the same people all of the time. SO we need many different queues to accomodate all those

One thing you might want to consider is what distribution strategy to use for the queues. Note that Asterisk Queues use FIFO methodology to handle calls and distribute them to the agents. Say you have one queue and round robin strategy. When 5 calls come in and only 2 agents are available, the

Yeah, get a Business Process specialist to analyze the client's environment and develop a better solution. 200 queues with only 100 agents sounds pretty ludicrous to me! On Wed, 2007-01-03 at 14:22 -0600, lenz wrote: Hello list, one of our clients is going to be deploying a system with over

Not necessarily... The same agents could very well be providing support for multiple companies. You wouldn't want an announcement from company A in company B's queues. Alex On 1/3/07, Joe Dennick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, get a Business Process specialist to analyze the client's
