What is Contact Based Architecture?
Contact Based Architecture leverages a series
of Intelligent Series applications intended to
provide contact based messaging,
dispatching, directory, and scheduling. Some
of the key components include:
IS Directory
IS Directory Contacts (phone, paging, email, sms)
IS Directory On-Call Scheduling
IS Appointment Scheduling (optional add-on)
IS Web Services (optional add-on)

Introducing Contact Based Architecture.
More and more sites are migrating to the
Contact Based Architecture.
Contact Based Architecture shifts from
account and instruction based messaging,
dispatching, and scheduling to contact and
script based messaging, dispatching, and
scheduling.
5. INTELLIGENT SERIES
Teleplex has adopted Contact Based
Architecture for their Messaging and
Dispatching model. Doug Robbins had this to
say about what Teleplex is doing.
“We have 400 accounts on contact dispatch. We
have another 300 getting ready to swing ….
We are a big fan of contact dispatch. We have
improved operator call processing time, we have
reduced error rates, the web on call has been a great
enhancement. We find Infinity IS to be an extremely
powerful tool beyond our wildest expectations. “
6. INTELLIGENT SERIES
ACT Teleservices has adopted Contact Based
Architecture for their Messaging and
Dispatching model. Sean Hough had this to
say about what ACT is doing.
“We have approximately 1850 accounts currently
using IS dispatch functions, with about 250 more
scheduled by the end of March, and thousands of
accounts to go in the longer term.
A good portion of these incorporate automated
dispatch functions, which involve no input from the
operator. We are constantly researching new ways to
further automate dispatch procedures.”

Getting Started With Contact Based
Architecture.
The biggest challenge with Contact Based
Architecture is making the commitment to
change and getting started.
Lets review how Contact Based Architecture
works…
8. INTELLIGENT SERIES
IS Directory is the foundation of Contact
Based Architecture.
The first step is to build an IS Directory for
each of your clients.
Place all client employees in the IS
Directory and enter all information about
the employee into the IS Directory.
Eliminate the need for entering account
based information such as Service Lists,
etc…
13. INTELLIGENT SERIES
Update your Scripts for Contact Dispatching.
This is actually quite simple.
Script Elements related to Contact
Dispatching:
Select Contact (retrieve from on-call or directory)
Contact Dispatch (initiate dispatch from script)
Contact Details (view details page about contact)
Create Contact (create a new directory listing)
Update Contact (update a directory listing)
View Schedule (popup a on-call or appt schedule)

Scheduling is another key element of the IS
Contact Based Architecture.
On-Call Scheduling
Web Scheduling
Appointment Scheduling

Offer Operator and Web Based
On-Call Scheduling services.

cover the shift.
