These capabilities are provided by the converse command, which is an 
enhancement to basic call vectoring. The integration of Voice Response Units 
with vector processing provides the following advantages:
Access to local and host databases
Validation of caller information
Text to speech capabilities
Speech recognition
Increased recorded announcement capacity
Audiotext applications
Interactive Voice Response applications
Transaction processing applications
One of the advantages of Voice Response Integration is that it allows your callers 
to make more productive use of queuing time. For example, while a call is waiting 
in queue, the caller can listen to product information by completing an interactive 
voice response transaction. In some cases, it may even be possible to resolve 
the customer’s questions while the call is in queue. This can help reduce the 
workload of agents during peak intervals.
If your caller was previously queued to an ACD hunt group, position in queue will 
be maintained during the execution of a CONVERSANT script. If an agent on the 
DEFINITY system becomes available to service the call, the line to the CONVER-
SANT Voice Information System is immediately dropped, and the calling party is 
connected to the available agent.
CallVisor Adjunct Switch
Application Interface
CallVisor Adjunct Switch Application Interface (ASAI) enhances ACD by provid-
ing improved call automation. This improves agent efficiency and tracking. 
Data-screen delivery can be automated. The system provides an interface 
between the DEFINITY ECS and host computer applications. This two-way link 
lets the host system determine who should get incoming calls and control the 
routing of calls.
Home Agent/DEFINITY Extender
Two products, Home Agent and DEFINITY Extender, allow your agents to work 
from home. With DEFINITY Extender, agents can use display consoles from 
home and work exactly as they would in an office. Home Agent offers a similar 
solution that enhances the capabilites of analog telephones. See Chapter 7, 
"Telecommuting Solutions", for more information.
