	Automatic call distributor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In telephony, an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) is a device that distributes incoming calls to a specific group of terminals that agents use.
		ACD systems are quite often found in companies who handle a lot of incoming phone calls and where the caller has no specific need to talk to a certain person, but wants to talk to a person who is able to talk to him at the earliest opportunity.
		ACD servers can cost anywhere between a few thousand dollars to close to the millions of dollars for a very large call center handling thousands of calls per day.

		Note: If the number of active calls is less than the number of terminals, the next call will be routed to the terminal that has been in the idle state the longest.

	Telephone Call Centers for direct marketers
		In most cases this is when you have a small in-house call center but during certain times of the year or for special promotions you need more help, so instead of adding more employees for a short time you contract with a call center to have extra overflow calls rolled over to them.
		These are calls received in a call center but the caller hangs up before reaching an agent to take the order.
		This is the main line where all inbound calls arrive and are first identified and sent to switching systems or to an “Automatic Call Distributor” that then routes the calls to an agent/operator or into a queue.

	Integrated intelligent call blending - Patent 5467391
		The system of claim 1 wherein said automatic call distributor initially couples inbound telephone calls to the communication devices of said plurality of inbound agents until all of said plurality of inbound agents are servicing inbound telephone calls before coupling any inbound telephone calls to the communication device of said blend agent.
		If the next call given the agent was not previously queued then there is a high probability that this agent was not busy and that there was some idle time between the end of the agent wrap-up time 104 for the previous call and the connection of this next call.
		Thus, the inbound calls from the telephone exchange 12 are directed first to the inbound-only agents in the inbound agent pool 24, with the peak inbound call volume these inbound-only agents cannot handle being directed to the blend agents in the blend agent pool 26.
