OverviewIn this appendix, we will discuss a larger and more complete Sametimeapplication. This application provides an alternate means of handling customersupport, through live chats between a customer and customer support agents.A customer logs onto the system with a custom Sametime application and makesa request for assistance by selecting from one of their open problem reports. Theagents use a custom Sametime application to monitor customers requestingassistance. Each agent is able to see the relevant information about a problemreport (problem area, customer, and company), as well as how long thecustomer has been waiting for a response. At the click of a button, the agent caninitiate a dialog with the customer. The customer disappears from the otheragents’ monitoring views and the one-on-one chat begins.Figure B-1 illustrates both the customer and agent application communicatingwith both the Sametime server and a customer support database. The details ofcustomer support database, from which the applets retrieve problem reportinformation, are not relevant to this example.Customer AppletSametime ServerAgent AppletFigure B-1 Component diagramCustomer SupportDatabaseProblemReportInformation456 <strong>Lotus</strong> <strong>Instant</strong> <strong>Messaging</strong>/<strong>Web</strong> <strong>Conferencing</strong> (Sametime): Building Sametime-Enabled Applications
