A self-configuring dynamic contact center including a plurality of resources, each resource associated with a set of attributes, a plurality of dynamic switches connected to the resources, a dynamic controller connected to the dynamic switches and configured to control the operation of the dynamic switches, and a routing engine connected to the dynamic controller. The routing engine is configured to utilize the dynamic controller and dynamic switches to determine the states of network paths between the dynamic switches, and is further configured to determine which of the resources are suitable to handle a contact based on requirements of the contact and the attributes of the resources, to determine which of the suitable resources is an optimal resource based on the requirements of the contact and the states of the network paths, and to utilize the dynamic controller and the dynamic switches to route the contact to the optimal resource.
