One of NDCI's most recent
projects entailed the development of a call center software package.
The application presents call representatives with a series of data
entry forms, each containing a set of fields required to complete
a call. Call flows are defined entirely in metadata, allowing account
executives and/or business analysts to edit call flow behaviors
without developer intervention. User input is validated using a
custom expression evaluator somewhat similar to TCL. The designer
does not need to learn a complicated scripting language. On the
back end, the application has to seamlessly interface with massive
amounts of data downloaded nightly from the clients.
Back End Support
The call flow software is extremely dependent on client data. The
robust tools created by our consultants make the process smooth
but structured and complete client data is needed to finish the
job. To meet this requirement, NDCI consultants designed and implemented
processes to download, parse, verify and store several gigabytes
of client data received on a nightly basis in numerous formats (AL3
as well as non-standard ASCII and binary formats). This included
archiving, tracking and error reporting.
