1 Executive Summary
1.1 CosmoCom, Inc.
1.1.1 Company Overview
CosmoCom was founded in 1996 to create a new generation of call centre technology for a world in which the Internet and e-mail are at least as important as the telephone, and businesses want systems that are not simply integrated, but genuinely unified. Todays prevailing solution -- telephone switch-centric call centre architecture and complex array of adjunct systems -- is not well suited to address the changing communication environment. CosmoCom offers its unified, all-IP approach as a complete alternative to a traditional approach that has become impractically complex and prohibitively expensive.

1.2 Overview of the Electric Telecommunication Company (ETC) Contact Centre Project
ETC is seeking the right technology to implement a Contact Centre solution that would cover every provinces both servicing ETC's telecom customers and EVN's electricity customers. It is a requirement that, as well as being powerful, of high capacity and server-provider grade, the solution should be cost effective to both adopt and expand. Due to the distributed nature of the call centers requirement, and the needs for centralized administration and management. The challenges are to maintain the quality of service by utilizing the available agent resources from different locations and at the same time to overcome difficulties to integrate CTI functionalities for the distributed sites.

CosmoCall Universe utilizes IP packet switching as a complete alternative to circuit switching, and is primarily a software solution, making maximum use of existing computer hardware and IP network infrastructure. CosmoCall does not require or assume the presence of a circuit switched ACD in order to provide a complete range of call centre services for Internet and Telephone callers. Universe agents use their computers as both information and communication appliances, and do not require separate telephones for call centre communication. However, when a circuit switched ACD is present, CosmoCall Universe functions as a seamless complement or adjunct to the existing technology. CosmoCall is rich in COM+ compliant Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to provide integration with other applications. As a pure, computer-based technology, CosmoCall does not require either separate or embedded CTI Middleware for integration with other applications. All application integration is conducted using standard computer-to-computer methods. CosmoCom has built enterprise class capacity, reliability, and security into CosmoCall Universe technology. It is an available product, not a development project. CosmoCom is committed to the ongoing evolution of Universe and to the multimedia interaction centre market. Please see Section 10 for an indicative solution pricing summary.

2.1.1.2
Provide your customers with this mission-critical business application that gets your customers to market FAST. Let customers make contact their waytraditional telephone calls with interactive voice response (IVR) sessions, voice and fax messages, live and e-mail sessions from the web, including keyboard chat, collaborative browsing, voice, and video--today.
Instead of large upfront purchases of capital equipment, customers pay for their contact centre services on a month-to-month basis, by the agent or by the services they use.
Clients can avoid the unnecessary complexity and IT support overhead associated with operating a contact centre platform, and focus on what they do best -- running their own business.
Calling volumes can change with the season, and it is hard to predict future needs. With NetworkBased Call Centre technology, customers can pay for the capacity they need--when they need it. Capacity can be added for marketing promotions, reduced when the off-season comes, and quickly expanded when business expands.
Simple APIs based on computing standards enable integrations with CRMs and other business applications at a fraction of the cost and effort of integration with traditional circuit ACD solutions.
CosmoCall Universe's all-IP solution means you can locate CSRs where convenientin multiple centres, or at homeand manage them all with one network, one set of business rules and one set of reports.
CosmoCall Universe's all-IP internal architecture means that CSRs need nothing more than a single IP connection-even for traditional telephone calls!
Intelligent routing distributes calls across multiple business locations and existing call centres. In a call centre environment, this is called "pre-routing", because there is typically an additional level of routing performed by a premises ACD. Essentially, there are two types of Intelligent Pre-routing static, and dynamic. Static Pre-routing has the advantage of adding value while requiring absolutely no change to an existing PBX or call centre operation. Dynamic Pre-routing particularly requires that the network routing engine have some information about the current state of the queues and agents at the premises call centre, which is updated dynamically at the network router.

Does the solution have the simplicity to support small and medium enterprises, as well as the feature richness and open interfaces required by large enterprises?
CosmoComs browser based graphical user interfaces make it simple for end users to do initial setup and day-to-day administration of their call centre with minimal training. The solution also has a rich set of features, such as unified multi-channel queuing, unified multi-channel real-time and historical reports, multi-channel recording, best-in-class predictive dialling, simple and sophisticated IVR creation with graphical drag-and-drop interface, advanced supervisory monitoring features, etc.
Does the product offer a complete solution for all of a call centre's needs?
There is no need to buy multiple point solutions from different vendors and integrate them together via CTI middleware and a costly professional services project. CosmoCall Universe's unified architecture includes IVR, ACD routing and queuing of all contact types, web co-browsing, multi-channel recording, reporting, and even outbound predictive dialing support. And since agents can work from anywhere and still be part of a single ACD system, there is no additional systems needed for remote agents, home agents, or satellite offices. In addition, CosmoComs Computer-toComputer Integration (CCI) replaces the need for any external CTI middleware.
Can your ACD solution also do intelligent routing to legacy circuit call centres?
CosmoCall Universes Next Generation Intelligent Network (NGIN) provides a complete IVR and pre-routing solution for routing calls across multiple legacy call centres. In addition, the platform provides the complete set of features needed to provide a comprehensive ACD solution to endusers.

Is a single platform ready to operate in multiple countries, multiple languages, and multiple time zones simultaneously?
CosmoCall Universe has already been translated into 12 languages, including double-byte languages. New languages can be added by customers and partners without any program recompilation. The system even takes into account international dialing plans and time zone differences automatically, with no custom configuration.
Does the product allow me to use the same system to act as an internal Contact Centre solution, as well as providing an ASP Hosted Contact Centre service to other entities within my corporation, or to other enterprises or customers?
CosmoCall Universe's all-IP platform is ideal for network-based offerings. The platform can be subdivided to provide each tenant on the system the complete capabilities of their own virtual call centre, including IVR and ACD self-provisioning, reporting, and management tools. This enables IT departments to act as an internal service provider that can support multiple business units with one CosmoCall system, and still allow each business unit to manage its own virtual call centres - without the challenge of managing IT infrastructure. It also enables call centre outsourcers to offer new services to their customer base.

PC Agent - Softphone
PC agents don't need telephones - they use their multimedia PCs, equipped with headsets, to answer telephone calls, web calls, voice messages, and e-mail messages. All switching is accomplished via the managed IP backbone. This single-appliance, single-connection solution is economical and provides the maximum in location-independence for the agent.
PC Agent - IP Phone
For users who prefer having a more traditional telephone-style appliance that is independent of the PC, the IP Phone agent is a good solution. Like PC agents, IP Phone agents work with a single IP connection. Their IP phones have separate IP addresses, and provide a communication path external to the PC.
Hybrid Agent
In situations of integration with existing telephony environments, the Hybrid (Circuit Phone) agent may be the preferred solution. In this configuration, CosmoCall agent client software runs on the agent's PC, but the system delivers telephone calls to the agent's telephone. Telephone calls pass through the IP domain and may be routed through the VoIP Gateway that is nearest to the agent's phone. In this way the system minimizes the additional cost of using the telephone network to deliver calls to remote agents.
Phone Agent
Agents are also supported in configurations without PC software. The PC is not required at all. The system will deliver calls to any telephone number. Telephone Agents log in and out of the system via IVR.

3.2.8 Scalability
CosmoCall Universe scales from small workgroups to vast enterprises. Most circuit-switched call centre designs force customers to choose between a low capacity solution that cannot grow beyond a few dozen agents, and a high capacity solution that is cost prohibitive for less than a hundred or more agents. Because it is a software solution utilizing industry standard computer hardware, Universe does not need to cost-burden small implementations in order to provide capacity for future expansion. Universe provides a system that can start small and grow with an almost completely linear cost structure along the growth curve.

Both WebCallers and CSRs can use different combinations of devices to interact, depending on their capabilities and existing infrastructure. Interactions can be voice-only, but may include video and/or data collaboration.
Primary Communications Channels CosmoCall Universe provides a number of mechanisms that can be used for the Web Caller and the CSR to converse: Click-to-Call: WebCallers use their multimedia PC to talk to a CSR who is connected to a traditional telephone ACD on the Public Switched Telephone network, or the CSR can talk through a multimedia PC as well and the call can be routed totally over the IP Network. Click-to-CallBack: WebCallers request a CSR to call them back at a PSTN telephone, either immediately or at a scheduled time. Click-to-Chat: WebCallers request a check and complete text format control easy access during text chat sessions. caller. An auto-complete feature allows typed letters. CSR to have a text chat with them. The agent has spell for easy reading. Commonly used phrases can be stored for Replaceable parameters allow auto-customization for each the CSR to see and select from a list of phrases that match
Click-to-See: In addition to voice communications, Web Callers can have live video calls with CSRs. This can be limited to a one-way video feed, such as CSR sending video to the caller in order to provide a more personal touch to the transaction. Additionally, it can be a full two-way video session in cases where both parties are equipped with a video camera. Complementary Communications Channels CosmoCall Universe also supplies a number of complementary channels that can be used in conjunction with the primary communications channels: Screen Pop: Information about the WebCallers browsing session, such as the web page that the WebCaller was viewing and the contents of the Web Callers shopping cart, can be presented to the CSR at the same time that the call is delivered. In addition, the Web Caller identity can be used to retrieve other information about the caller from a Customer Relationship Management system. Co-Browse: CSRs and callers can enjoy jointly browse the web. Both the agent and the caller can push pages to each other. Frequently used URLs are available to the CSR for easy access. Commonly used URLs can be stored for easy access during co-browse sessions. Text chat phrases and URLs can be linked for one "push." Joint form filling: CSRs and callers can jointly complete forms on the web. Security features allow the system administrator to block selected fields (e.g. block an agent from seeing a credit card entry) and to block specific actions (e.g. prevent an agent from clicking on an button to confirm an orderit would be only possible for the caller to do so). Caller and Agent always see the exact same page, even if Cookies are used to create the page. Application-sharing and Desktop-sharing: CSRs can share applications and the full desktop. This powerful tool enables CSRs to remotely take remote control of a callers PC especially useful for IT and ISP help desk applications.

For details regarding our full project lifecycle implementation methodology, please refer to our guide entitled "The CosmoCom Implementation Process which may be obtained through your account representative. Flexible Service Options We offer a variety of implementation service options designed to meet the full range of customer needs. These provide a suite of services ranging from full turnkey system implementation to services designed to augment and complement your own staff. Available services include:
Full Turnkey Implementation - This option includes all phases of project planning and implementation, from project inception up to production rollout and post-production monitoring/support, including any custom application development work that may be required. Installation Services - CosmoCall Universe product installation includes basic telephony and web integration and post installation testing by an assigned CosmoCom project team. This option is often selected by customers and partners who intend to perform their own application development but desire assistance in getting started. Assigned (Priority) Systems Engineer - For those projects that are more dynamic in nature, the
services of a dedicated systems engineer may be retained in blocks of time up to 1,000 hours. This service simultaneously allows for the retention of a particular engineer familiar with the project while allowing for the expected variances in project workload that may be dictated by a rapidly changing business environment.
All projects are assigned a Project Manager and one or more Systems Engineers. To effectively support our worldwide client base, our project managers and technical engineers are located in CosmoCom offices throughout the world. Implementation Service Selection and Pricing Implementation Services are quoted on a time-and-expenses basis. For all services described in this section, our Sales and Engineering team will work with you to ensure that you select the service that best meets your business objectives. As part of this effort, CosmoCom will work with you to define and analyze your requirements generating a project-specific statement of work that outlines the specific tasks and responsibilities associated with the work to be performed. For the purposes of this preliminary proposal, it has been assumed that initial implementation would take something in the order of 10 man-days to complete. This would depend on the level of supporting infrastructure present or installed by the delivery partner, and further discussion concerning any required customer database integration with CosmoCall servers and agent desktops. The initial implementation phase would deliver a CosmoCall Universe solution, with all media channels enabled for 20 concurrently connected agents (given an 80:10:10 split across Telephony, Internet and Messaging channels). It would also include basic customisation of the system and and installation of our standard demonstration environment. Typically some administration and supervisor/agent training can also be included within this allotted time.

10.3.1
CosmoCall agent licenses can be added singly if required. CosmoCom do not force customers to make a bulk purchase of any system licenses if their business and market does not demand that they do so. When the quoted capacity of a specific CosmoCall system is approached, the system can expand easily and cost-effectively by the simple addition of extra Windows based connection servers. Each CosmoCall VCS can support 120 simultaneous voice calls (4 x E1), with up to 60 of those concurrently in IVR. Agent Interaction Servers (AIS) can support circa 300 agents, with Internet and Messaging connection servers supporting similarly high numbers of connections. Each server type is deployed as N+1 redundant, typically with network/server load-balancing, and expanded simply by addition.

Core ACD Servers Every CosmoCall system requires a single license for the Core ACD Servers. This is the basic set of servers required for all platform applications, including, but not limited to, the basic inbound ACD functionality. These servers include the functions of Call Management, Administration, Logging, Statistics, Resource Allocation, and Reporting. Predictive Dialing Server This optional server is required for outbound Predictive Dialing. It includes campaign management software for administering the properties of each outbound campaign. CosmoCorder Server CosmoCorder is an optional component of the system that provides multi-channel recording of agent calls. This feature can be used to record voice, chat, and message sessions. CosmoCorder includes a browser-based client for reviewers to listen to and view the captured sessions. The multi-tenant edition permits multiple recording databases to be used. Databases may be located at the service provider premises, the tenant premises, or a combination of the two options for different tenants.
Other Servers: Several other servers are often presented in architecture diagrams of CosmoCall

Universe. The VoIP Connection Server, Internet Connection Server, Message Connection Server, and Agent Server are not priced separately. They are included in the corresponding agent, IVR Session, and Voice Session price elements.
MultiTenancy: Each of the Server licenses is available in a Single Tenant version and a MultiTenant version called the Service Provider Edition. The Multi-Tenant versions permit a Service Provider to operate many Virtual Contact Centers off of a single CosmoCall Universe ACD Core Server set. Each Virtual Contact Center (also called a Tenant) has complete administrative control over its own Agents, Queues, Skills, IVR, reporting, etc., and has a completely secure partition of the ACD Server that is independent of and invisible to all other tenants on the system.
Agents and Supervisors
Agents are priced according to their ability to serve different Media Skills, including Internet, Email, Telephone, Enhanced Voice Package, and for their ability to participate in Predictive dialed outbound campaigns. The CosmoCall Universe Agent Login license includes supervisor functionality, which may optionally be enabled or disabled for each instance. In all cases, agent licenses are not named, but represent concurrent Agent Logins and concurrent Media Skills. Agent Login
The Agent Login capability allows an agent to participate in the call center as a full-time inbound and/or outbound agent, and is required for all agents. It is a measure of the number of concurrently logged in agents, independent of the media-handling capabilities of those agents. The Agent Login license does not Confidential Page 44 of 49 Proposal - ETC

by itself make an agent license functional. The agent must also possess Media Skills licenses, which determine the types of calls an agent may handle. The CosmoCall Universe Agent Login license includes rights to the supervisor functionality, which may optionally be enabled or disabled for each specific agent.
Media Skills
A Media Skill license grants an Agent Login the rights to handle specific types of calls. Media Skill licenses require agents with Agent Login licenses. The license for a given Media Skill establishes the maximum number of agents that may be concurrently logged in with that skill. Media Skills include: Telephone: Enables agents to handle inbound ACD-routed telephone calls and originate outbound calls. Agents may be PC Agents (i.e., PC with headset only), Hybrid Agents (i.e., PC with external circuit or IP phone) or Phone Agents (i.e., no PC, external circuit or IP phone only). Enhanced Voice Package: Enables agents to handle ACD-routed voice messages left by telephone callers, and also handle IVR Callbacks. IVR Callback enables a caller who is in queue to request to have an agent call them back when one becomes available. Callers leave their callback number via IVR, hang up, and have the system hold their place in queue. Agents receiving IVR Callback requests must be licensed for both the Telephone and the Enhanced Voice Package. Internet: Enables agents to handle a variety of calls from the Internet, including Keyboard Chat, Internet Voice, Internet Video, Co-Browsing, and Web Callbacks. Web Callbacks enable a web surfer to request an immediate telephone callback when an agent becomes available. Agents handling Web Callbacks must be licensed for both the Telephone and Internet packages. E-mail: Enables agents to handle e-mail contacts, including e-mails generated from a form on a Web site. Agents can also handle faxes, provided that the system has been configured with appropriate third-party fax software. Predictive Dialing: Enables agents to handle outbound calls placed by the Predictive Dialer Server. Not required for outbound calls initiated by the agent.
CosmoCorder Agents CosmoCorder is an optional component of the system that provides multi-channel recording of agent calls. CosmoCorder licenses have a server component (see CosmoCorder Server) and peragent components. Like all CosmoCall Universe seats, CosmoCorder agent pricing is per media, per simultaneous login. Note that CosmoCorder session types do not map exactly to Media Skills. For example, predictive dial outbound calls, which require the Predictive Dialing Media Skill, are recorded via the Telephone CosmoCorder session. Similarly, web and IVR callbacks, which require, respectively, Telephone + Internet and Telephone + Enhanced Voice Package Media Skills, are recorded via the Telephone CosmoCorder session. Also Voice Messages, which require the Enhanced Voice Package Media Skill, are recorded via the Voice message CosmoCorder session. CosmoCorder Reviewers CosmoCorder includes a browser-based client for reviewers to listen to and view the captured contact sessions. Five reviewer session licenses are included with the single-tenant CosmoCorder server, with a charge for each additional simultaneous reviewer. For the multi-tenant edition, each tenant may use up to five reviewers simultaneously. All tenants using more than five reviewers will incur the additional reviewer charge.
Voice and IVR Sessions
Voice Session A Voice Session is the capacity of the CCU platform to establish and maintain one inbound or outbound telephone call. Thus, each telephone call connected to the platform requires a Voice Session. At any given point during a call, a Voice Session may be connected to IVR, Music-OnConfidential Page 45 of 49 Proposal - ETC

Hold, or an Agent. The Voice Session price includes the ability to play passive Music-On-Hold or other announcements to the caller. Calls requiring interactive Music-On-Hold announcements or other IVR capabilities require the use of the separately priced IVR Session resource that is available to any Voice Sessions. IVR Session The CosmoCall Universe platform provides complete Interactive Voice Response (IVR) capabilities. These capabilities are licensed by the number of concurrent sessions supported. Each concurrent IVR interaction with a caller requires one IVR Session license. The IVR resource can be used on any of the Voice Sessions that are connected to the CCU platform.
Service Creation and CRM Integration Tools
CosmoDesigner CosmoDesigner is an optional component of the system that enables users to design call flows (including IVR flows) using this graphical application development and service creation tool. CosmoDesigner is a browser-based application. The pricing is based on the number of simultaneous users of the CosmoDesigner application. These users can be spread across many tenants within the system, so a multi-tenant system with 1000 tenants does not require 1000 licenses, because all tenants will not be using the CosmoDesigner simultaneously. Each ACD Server license includes a license for one CosmoDesigner session. Additional simultaneous session licenses are priced according to the attached pricing schedule. CosmoConnector CosmoConnector enables integration between CosmoCall Universe and third party business applications, such as CRM and Help Desk. CosmoConnector presents itself as a single desktop application with a single, integrated window combining the functionality of the CosmoAgent with that of the third-party application(s). CosmoConnnector can be used in combination with the CosmoCom-developed Plug-Ins to popular business applications. Additionally, customers and partners can use the CosmoConnector Software Development Kit (SDK), which is included with the CosmoConnector license, to develop integrations to applications that do not have a CosmoCom-developed Plug-In, such as proprietary or home-grown applications. A CosmoConnector license is required for each CosmoCall seat that uses business application integration, with or without a Plug-In. CosmoConnector Plug-Ins CosmoConnector Plug-Ins provided jump-start integrations for major CRM and business applications, including screen-pop capabilities. For the current list of available Plug-Ins, contact your CosmoCom account representative. Additional custom engineering may be required to tailor the integration for a particular customer application. A CosmoCall-certified engineer should perform this custom work. The Plug-In license fee is in addition to the standard CosmoConnector license fee. If a customer requires Plug-Ins for more than one CRM, then they must purchase each Plug-In license separately. For example, if a customer buys CosmoComs Siebel and Onyx Plug-Ins, the price calculation is as follows: Price = $500 (CosmoConnector) + $500 (CosmoConnector Siebel Plug-In) + $500 (CosmoConnector Onyx Plug-In) = $1500/seat. Support of CosmoConnector Plug-Ins is provided at CosmoComs standard support prices and under the Terms & Conditions specified in the Support Agreement. The support includes all updates and upgrades required to keep the CosmoConnector Plug-Ins compatible and consistent with new CCU releases. Note: Support does NOT include modifications that might be required to

version or release. If such modifications are required, they will be offered on a Time & Materials basis using CosmoCom standard Professional services fees.
Miscellaneous Applications CosmoCall Universe provides an open development environment that permits the development of advanced applications and enhancements on top of the platform. CosmoCom has developed some specific applications that can be licensed for use with the CosmoCall Universe system. These applications require additional installation and call-center-specific set-up by certified engineering staff.
Wallboard
This browser-based software application displays a real-time view of current activity in the contact center to agents in the center or other interested parties. This simulates the legacy wallboards in traditional call centers, but is more flexible because it runs on a standard PC server and can be displayed on any computer display device. The base configuration presents the statistics most commonly requested, and can be customized by trained personnel. One license is required for each tenant that uses the Wallboard. One extra day of installation is required for this item for deployment in the customers call center environment. This includes set up of queues and groups to be monitored. As part of this installation, CosmoCom will provide up to four hours of on-site basic training to explain how to make future changes to this set-up. Customization of data elements or data layout is extra. Set-up of related hardware elements is not included.

Phone-based Monitoring
This feature allows an authorized reviewer to listen to a sample of telephone calls that are serviced from a queue or group of queues. The reviewer can call into the system from any standard telephone from anywhere, rather than being required to be sitting at a PC. After an IVR authorization, the reviewer can listen to a selection of calls from the queues for which they are authorized to access. The product is licensed based on the number of simultaneous reviewers. Two extra days of installation is required for this item for deployment in a specific call center. This base installation takes a random sample of calls and makes them available to reviewers via a standard IVR access menu. As part of this installation, CosmoCom will provide up to four hours of on-site basic training, explaining how to make future changes to this set-up. For an additional professional services charge, the sampling rules can be customized to fit virtually any business rules desired, and the IVR menu for accessing the monitored calls can be customized.
Branding
Branding consists of the ability to easily modify the end user facing (i.e. tenant-facing) interfaces of CosmoCall Universe so that all tenants see the Network Service Provider's branding. Brandable interfaces include the agent and supervisor software, agent installation, Administrator, CosmoConsole, Real Time Reports, Historical Reports, CosmoDesigner, and CosmoCorder. CosmoCom will work with the customer to brand each software application, including splash screens and title bars, based on the Network Service Provider's requirements. As with all CosmoCom software components, the Branding license is subject to ongoing fees based on the Software Assurance Program. The Branding will be kept current with each new release of the CosmoCall Universe software. In addition, the branding may be modified twice per year independent of a new software release
