Abstract:
A system and method for routing interactions to contact center agents. The system is adapted to concurrently identify a plurality of interactions waiting to be routed, and identify a plurality of candidate agents viable for handling the plurality of interactions. The system is also adapted to calculate a predicted wait time associated with each of the candidate agents. For each agent of the plurality of candidate agents, the system is adapted to estimate an expected value to be obtained by routing each of the plurality of the interaction to the agent. The expected value is a function of the predicted wait time. The system is further adapted to assign each of the plurality of the interactions to one of the plurality of candidate agents based on the estimated reward, and signal a routing device for routing each of the plurality of the interactions to the agent assigned to the interaction.
Abstract:
In a system for managing an interaction flow, the system includes: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory has stored thereon, instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a communication from a user device; store data corresponding to one or more topics of the communication in the memory; compare the data with parameters a plurality of predesigned interaction flows for identifying one or more of the predesigned interaction flows relevant to the communication; and route the communication to a corresponding contact center resource in response to identifying the one or more of the predesigned interaction flows relevant to the communication.
Abstract:
A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) service system includes a SIP-enabled soft switch at a telephony service provider, executing code from a coupled machine-readable medium, routing SIP transactions to remote destinations, a media server coupled to the SIP-enabled soft switch storing media including ring tones and music-on-hold for use in progressing transactions, and an interface to a wide-area-network (WAN) for transmitting transactions and media.The SIP-enabled soft switch determines for each transaction from stored data whether media services are to be provided or not provided for that destination, and in the event media services are not to be provided, alters packet data to indicate media services to be provided by a server local to the destination.
Abstract:
A system and method for simulating an interaction between a customer and an agent of a customer contact center. A processor receives input conditions for simulating the interaction and generates a model of the customer based on the input conditions. The processor receives a first action from an agent device associated with the agent and updates a state of the simulation model based on the first action. The processor identifies a second action of the simulation model in response to the updated state, executes the second action, determines an outcome of the simulation, and provides the outcome to the agent device. In response to the outcome, the agent is prompted to take an action different from the second action.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring deployment states of a contact center. A processor migrates a state of the contact center from a first deployment state to a second deployment state. The processor records the steps in migrating from the first deployment state to the second deployment state, and stores the recorded steps in association with metadata describing the second deployment state. The processor monitors health of the second state, and takes an action for moving the state of the contact center to a healthy state in response to determining that the second deployment state is unhealthy. The migrating may be based on detecting a condition relating to operation of the contact center. The processor dynamically adjusts at least one hardware or software resource for the contact center based on the detected condition for migrating the state of the contact center from the first to the second deployment state.
Abstract:
A system and method include a processor and a memory, where the memory stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine whether a session is hard-to-understand. When the session is hard-to-understand the processor provides an adjustment for the session.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes: a processor; and memory, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: identify a plurality of parameters prior to initiating an interaction request; transmit the interaction request to a server to initiate an interaction with a contact center, the interaction request comprising the plurality of parameters; and receive information regarding the interaction after termination of the interaction with the contact center.

Abstract:
A system and method for providing a dashboard user interface for contact center monitoring. The dashboard user interface includes a first display widget displaying a first metric for a first contact center object according to a first display format. A processor receives user actuation of an option provided by the dashboard to add a second display widget. In response to the user actuation of the option to add, the processor displays a template for generating the second display widget. The template is configured to prompt for input of a second contact center object, a second metric to be displayed for the second contact center object, and identification of a second display format. The processor generates the second widget based on information input via the template, and displays the second widget on the dashboard. A user may move the first and second widgets as desired on the dashboard.
