Abstract:
A system, method, and computer readable medium for processing call in a call center platform are provided. A call center platform provides for customized delivery of calls to contact centers. The call center platform provides the ability to transfer calls in a manner that reduces carrier connection costs and intra-state costs. The call center platform provides alternative connectivity mechanisms, such as packet-switched, circuit-switched, and multiprotocol label switching connectivity, for a call center enterprise customer. An interactive call center service provider front end includes a media gateway adapted to receive circuit-switched and packet-switched customer calls and a self service platform. Customer calls may be directly connected with the call center front end and contact center via circuit switched connections, via VoIP connections, and may be connected utilizing intelligent call routing and central queue point mechanisms.
