Alcatel Unleashed

Our client looking to open call center with 900 agents. One of the consultant adviced on the Trixbox Asterisk 1000 call agents, the license itself would cost 100k.
On the website in Australia, there is one used Alcatel OXE system with 900 call agents license for 65k. I am totally new to Alcatel OXE, would anyone advice me
this system would do the job?. Many thanks.

Hardware:

Alcatel M3 Chassis

2xINT-IP2 + GIP4-4

That is a great system (R.9.0 is pretty recent ---> lates one 10.1):
- hot st-by redundancy
- 1018 digital user license (you need ALU TDM phones 8 series --> for CCD recommended would be 4039 --> prices not so low)
- 12 IP users license (permitting ALU IP phones--> 8 series phones)
- 5 SIP users license
- 8 ISDN T2 accesses
- 70 channel H.323 IP trunk license (g711 and g723.1 compression possible)
- 180 channel SIP trunk license
- 10 DECT users license (requires however to buy some IBS stations - not included in your pack)
- 5 remote extension license
- Voice mail --> 4 ports look not too much for 900 users (and 10 hour of voice messages storage)
- SNMP trap license
- voice guides
- voice guide recording from reflexes phones (this would also permit the agents to record personal greeting message)
- this system can be networked via ABC protocol to another OXE
- this system can be networked to 3rd party system via GSIG GF protocol
- real time metering over ethernet


- 900 CCD inbound
- license fo 18 simultaneous CCS (call center supervision application --> used for configuration, supervision and reporting for CCD)
- I don't see any outbound CCD license in your post !!!
- I don't see any license for CCA (softphone application for agents) !!!
- RSI licenses --> this would permit you at some point to attach genesys on top of your OXE (260 agents and 5 behind business sets or remote agents)
- IVR 270 port licenses --> however no PCM boards available
- CRI interface --> permits the collection of all ACD statistics tickets for external application
- Workforce Management license (there are 4 WFM applications certified by ALU that you could use for this purpose)

In order to use Omnivista you would need to receive (if available also the Omnivista license for this system).

CCD is a very powerful ACD engine. Routing engine is completely graphical and ALU patented their distribution matrix which by my knowledge is one of the most powerful on the market. for integration with external applications you would need CCA softphone license (and CCA server installed). For outbound you need outbound licenses and CCO server installed (this is developed together with Genesys).
other media routing is no longer supported. You would need to go for Genesys for that.

For configuration you would need a person that is specialized in both OXE and ALU CCD. For support you should find a BP in your area.

Thank you for the detail info!.
