PROJECT DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
This agreement covers efforts to be performed by CGI from July 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1996 for U S WEST in support of the Call Handling / Front End
Screen & Route (FES&R) project. The overall Call Handling project is being
undertaken by U S WEST to deliver several system deployments: Phase I in
February 1996 (which has been delivered), the Summer Maintenance Release in
July 1996, the Load Balance Release in October 1996, and the Voice Over Data
(Screen Pop) Pilot in 1996. The deliverables covered by this agreement are in
support of the Summer Maintenance Release, the Load Balance Release and the
Voice Over Data Pilot, however because of the time period covered, most of the
deliverables are in support of the Load Balance and Voice Over Data Releases.
CGI ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Based on the defined scope and deliverables, and the architecture design and
detailed design work that has been accomplished through June of 1996 by CGI and
U S WEST (reference U S WEST/CGI Development Agreements 00-000-00, 00-000-00,
00-000-00 and Change Order 35-001-96-A), the following roles and
responsibilities can be defined for the Call Handling / FES&R project:
o CGI will be responsible for Project Management and the functional
specification, detail design, development, test (unit test and
component integration test), documentation, and delivery of the
following:
LOAD BALANCE
o LOAD BALANCE I: The Load Balance I release will provide
equitable routing for queued and non-queued Call Handing
situations for resource groups. It will balance the
queues to equal and different teams and performing ratio
routing. It also provides for a direct data feed from
the 5ESS to capture additional parameters required for
equitable resource routing. For a subset of the toolset
screens, a sharper GUI that is more efficient with a
quick and easy update capability will also be provided.
The GUI will also provide field level validation,
consistency checking, and rule validation.
o LOAD BALANCE II: The Load Balance II release will provide
for a direct data feed from the DMS 100 to capture
additional
6
8
parameters required for equitable resource
routing. Provide possible enhancements to Load Balance I
release.
VOICE OVER DATA
o Voice Over Data is a client project to pilot multiple new
features for the Call Handling system. CGI is responsible
for the functional specification and project plan for
Voice Over Data pilot.
o CGI will be responsible for the Functional
Specification and Project Plan for the Voice Over
Data Prototype
o CGI will be responsible for contacting Lucent and
Northern Telecom to obtain the required information
o The purpose of Voice Over Data Pilot is to:
o Demonstrate the viability of adding Voice Over Data
to the Call Handling application for existing
infrastructure of Automatic Call Distributors. i.e.,
Group Based Routing (GBR)
o Demonstrate the feasibility of adding Individual
Skills Based Routing (ISBR) with Voice Over Data
Prototype to the Call Handling application.
o Simulate dynamic load balancing using the ISBR
capability for various call load conditions and
Channel Functional Need distributions to a
geographically distributed multi-functional resource
base.
o Demonstrate the capability to add Single Point Of
Contact (SPOC) routing. With SPOC an individual is
designated at the preferred contact for a customer.
Calls from the customer will be routed to the
specified individual.
o Demonstrate the viability of user work location
portability. User work location portability allows a
user to work from any location with an IWS
workstation served off ISDN and a business line
telephone.
o Estimate at [ ] accuracy level, the cost for
deployment of these capabilities by per [ ]
costs with [ ] considerations and for full
deployment across the [ ]. It is not
anticipated that the ISBR will be utilized beyond
the [ ] individuals level for any given channel or
function.
ROUTING ENGINE
o Specific Routing Engine modules that CGI is responsible
for include:
7
9
o FES&R INTERFACE SERVER MODULE - this module handles
FES&R Server call routing requests from the VRU
Interface Client Module.
o CALL CONTROL MANAGER (ROUTING ENGINE) - this module
handles an individual call, from the receipt of the
new call request until a routing message is returned
for the call. Enhanced routing capabilities will
[ ], [ ], [
] and [ ] requests.
o ACD DATA FEED MANAGER - this module receives
periodic ACD queue status data feeds from the MIS
nodes.
o MARKET PROFILE LOADER - this module accepts the
extract file from the [ ] Database, parses
the [ ] associated with each [
] into the appropriate [ ], applies
the [ ] to [ ] and [ ] the
[ ] to a [ ] [ ] and a
particular [ ] for [ ], and
loads the [ ] table which associates each
[ ] with the appropriate [
] functional group for every possible
[ ] [ ] per application. This module may also
load the [ ] data associated with each
[ ] into the FES&R database if
required for reporting.
o * ACCOUNT ACTIVITY LOADER (AA): [ ],
identified by a [ ] number, at times
have activities associated with them. These
activities include [ ],
and [ ]. The [ ] Engine will
access and utilize [ ] activity in determining a
[ ] for a call.
o * [ ] CONDITIONS LOADER (PC): [ ]
conditions are associated with individual [ ]
[ ]. These originate when a customer initiates
multiple transactions (calls) of the same type in a
given time period. The routing engine will use
business rules that will indicate the routing for a
call when a [ ] condition for a customer
exists.
"*" THESE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE
ADDRESSED IF TIME PERMITS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROJECT SCHEDULE AND IF ALL REQUIRED RESOURCES ARE
AVAILABLE. ALTHOUGH IT IS ASSUMED THE LOAD BALANCE
AND VOICE OVER DATA DELIVERABLES ARE THE PRIMARY
RESPONSIBILITY, IF TIME AND RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE
DURING THE CONTRACT PERIOD, THESE AREAS WILL BE
PRIORITIZED BY U S WEST AND CGI EFFORTS WILL BE
DIRECTED TOWARD THEM.
8
10
o CGI will be responsible for the detailed design,
development, test (unit test and component integration
test), documentation, and delivery of the
Verification / Validation Utilities. The five specific
utilities that CGI will be responsible for include:
o * RULE VALIDATION - this utility will validate both the
[ ] rules and the [ ] rules to
test for validity, prioritization, exclusiveness, and
execution hit rate. The valid range, relational
operators, and combinations of all attributes found in
if-condition [ ] will be checked.
o * [ ] ([ ]) ANALYSIS - this utility
will provide a summary picture to the [ ] that
combines data from several database tables into one
report that lists the [ ] used and their selection
criteria. This will provide the end user with a
[ ] from result to [ ].
o * ACD GROUP VALIDATION - this utility will perform an
analysis of ACD Group-related data; and provide checks
for ACD Group definition completeness and provide reports
on ACD Group utilization. This utility will also validate
routing alternative lists in several ways.
o * DATA COMPLETENESS CHECKS - this utility will be built
to run as a part of the installation or maintenance of
the database. The scripts will run completeness checks
for such items as required minimal data in reference
tables and required minimal data in end-user populated
tables. More complicated completeness checks could
include: verification that each routing [ ] has a routing
alternative list defined for each reference location,
verification that each non-remote ACD group have a
primary and alternate resource selection rule,
verification that each channel functional need assignment
map to a valid (effective) [ ], and verification that
each call reason map to a valid default [ ].
o * INFORMATION REQUEST (PING-PONG) VALIDATION - this
utility will ensure that there is no possibility of
looping back with the same voice script being played
multiple times to the calling customer. This utility will
also monitor the call logs for ping-pong requests and
provide a report to the end-users.

PROJECTED COST
The total cost of the work to be performed will be $[ ] based on
estimated time and materials. No travel is anticipated. Should travel become a
necessity for the project, U S WEST agrees to pay CGI travel expenses for all
pre-approved trips.
It is planned that U S WEST will provide the majority of the platforms and
software for the project work environment and CGI will work at the U S WEST
site. Because this reflects a cost savings benefit to CGI, a []% Computer &
Facilities discount is included in the project costs. Work requiring platforms
and software outside of this environment will be requested by U S WEST. It is
planned that U S WEST will provide availability to the nonstandard items to CGI
for the duration of the project should any be required.
U S WEST may, at its discretion, close the project or the involvement of CGI
resources by providing a written notice to the CGI Program Manager. If such an
eventuality occurs, the respective resources will be given a ramp down period of
[ ] weeks to find other work. Upon completion of the [ ] week ramp down
period, US WEST will be obligated to CGI for the time and materials expended
up to and including the [ ] week ramp down.
Estimated costs for the project are provided below. Note that the Alliance,
Volume, and Facilities discounts are subtracted from the standard time and
material costs. The Volume discount for this Agreement considers the project as
a whole and applies the costs from previously signed Development Agreement(s)
with this Agreement when calculating Volume discount.

The following assumptions/dependencies were assumed in creating the above Work
Plans/Schedules and changes in the assumptions/dependencies may effect the
schedule, costs and deliverables listed in this agreement. CGI, when providing
their monthly project status reports, will identify issues and jeopardies that
are being caused by any of the following assumption/dependencies being
violated, and jeopardies will indicate that, unless the situation is resolved,
a change order to this agreement will have to be issued because of the
schedule/cost impacts.
ASSUMPTIONS/DEPENDENCIES - LOAD BALANCE
1. The Development Environment: Sequent & HP machines, user ids, directory
structure, SCM tools, database structures and DDL, some data population,
desks, terminals, etc., must remain stable and available through out the
development process.
2. Other modules/components not being developed/purchased by CGI must be in
place and configured by September 9, 1996, for the start date for the
Integration Testing. These include, but are not limited to: U S WEST VRU
Scripting, the Physical Integration U S WEST Test Database with the
Routing tables populated integration with all SYAD tool sets, and new
voice scripts. It is assumed that Integration Testing will be done using
the Development Environment.
3. The system can not be released to System Test until it passes the
Integration Test (with zero critical problems) and it can not be released
to Production without first passing System Test and the User Acceptance
Testing.
4. User Acceptance Testing takes place in the System Test Environment. The
development of the User Acceptance Test Plan and Criteria are the
responsibility of U S WEST and the Clients.
5. The System Test Environment must be established and made available by U S
WEST by September 27, 1996. Establishment of the Environment is the
responsibility of the U S WEST System Test Group.
18
20
6. Test Plans, Environments, Scenarios and Test Data must be identified by
U S WEST and in place by the start of the Integration (9/9/96), User
Acceptance (10/28/96), and System Test (9/30/96) Phases. The Test Data and
Scenarios are the responsibility of the U S WEST Clients but will be
shared by CGI. The System Test Plan is the responsibility of the U S WEST
System Test Group.
7. The dates for the final production builds for Load Balance is dependent on
the dates that the U S WEST Project Manager sets for the start of each
phases deployment, which may be sometime after the software has been
accepted. CGI assumes that this date will be within two weeks after the
software is accepted.
8. Additional, specific CGI assumptions include:
a) The detailed design and prototyping tasks need to be completed before
the programming and unit testing tasks can begin.
b) Formal technology transfer from CGI to U S WEST will be done in
parallel to system and user acceptance testing and production
support for the Releases.
9. The Customer Access Experience Scripts, if applicable, and associating
routing data need to be specified for integration with the routing engine
modules.
10. * The Account Activity Module is dependent upon extracts from Legacy
Systems. [ ]
"*" THESE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE ADDRESSED IF TIME
PERMITS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROJECT SCHEDULE AND IF ALL REQUIRED
RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE. ALTHOUGH IT IS ASSUMED THE LOAD BALANCE AND
VOICE OVER DATA DELIVERABLES ARE THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY, IF TIME
AND RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE DURING THE CONTRACT PERIOD, THESE AREAS
WILL BE PRIORITIZED BY U S WEST AND CGI EFFORTS WILL BE DIRECTED
TOWARD THEM.
ASSUMPTIONS/DEPENDENCIES - VOICE OVER DATA
1. The existing prototype runs under the assumption that only one window is
required that gets refreshed when the CCE goes into the ready state on
their phone set and receives a new call. Upon receiving a new call, the
window refreshes and displays the customer contact information. For the
purposes of the Voice Over Data pilot, these same assumptions will remain
the same.
2. Lucent (AT&T) must provide technical expertise on how the LINK II & III
log stream can be passed to the Sun Xxxxx 0000 and what it contains.
19
21
3. Northern Telecom must provide technical expertise on how the Compucall
log stream can be passed to the Sun Xxxxx 0000 and what it contains.
4. U S WEST must provide the development, test, and demonstration environment
to build the Voice Over Data pilot. CGI assumes that only one environment
will be needed.
5. U S WEST must provide the existing prototype software, so that it can be
ported (if necessary) and extended to demonstrate more complete
functionality.

CGI will deliver one copy of each Deliverable to the appropriate U S WEST
Project Manager along with a letter to be mutually signed by the parties,
acknowledging delivery, receipt and acceptance of the Deliverable. If U S WEST
does not sign and return the letter or provide a written list of the items that
are not in compliance with the project specifications within ten (10) business
days after delivery, then the Deliverable shall be deemed accepted.
In addition, CGI will provide U S WEST with status reports including tasks
completed/delivered, issues (yellow status), and jeopardies (red status), as
well as the hours expended by month and to date on specific task breakdowns. A
monthly meeting between CGI and U S WEST will be held to review the project
status and discuss any proposed changes, including functionality/scope changes
that would necessitate a change order being written against this agreement.
