Features and Functionality
UP-TO-DATE PRESENCE AND ACTIVITY STATUS OF ALL CONTACTS
InAttend offers a broad range of integrated functions for achieving high-quality attendant performance, particularly during periods of high volume traffic. Integrated directory search and presence information on each contact enhance the potential for successful firstcall transfers. InAttend displays the activity and availability of the contact being called, organizational affiliation, and information on when the contact can be reached if not available. Attendants can also send messages to contacts via different message systems when immediate interaction is required. When integrated into the Mitel CMG Suite, attendants have visibility and control over activitybased call routing options for BluStar Web users enabling increased call handling efficiency.

LINE STATE FEDERATION WITH MICROSOFT SKYPE FOR BUSINESS/LYNC 2013
With the line state federation service, call manager’s line state is federated into Microsoft Skype for Business/ Lync 2013. This means that e.g. users with extensions on MiVoice MX-ONE will appear as busy in Skype for Business/ Lync 2013, if busy in a call on the MX-ONE side.
BASIC RECORDING
InAttend clients have the possibility to configure recording according to the following modes:
• Recording disabled (default)
• Record on demand
• Record all calls
When using the record on demand mode, the attendant can start recording a call by clicking on the record icon. When the attendant activates the recording, a recording of the complete call, from the very beginning of the call, will be stored. Calls are stored on the ACS media server and access to the recordings for post processing is done via the Windows file system.
