A system for routing short message service (SMS) messages to endpoints in a contact center includes a first node for receiving SMS message streams from multiple sources operating variant protocols and for multiplexing the multiple streams into a single message stream following a universal protocol, a media gateway server connected to the first node for receiving the single message stream and for forwarding individual ones of the messages therein to individual ones of a plurality of connected servers, and a router connected to at least one of the connected servers for routing individual messages represented therein to individual ones of a plurality of network-supported endpoint devices.

In a contact center, a system for processing communication events has an interaction server for managing events waiting to be routed, a routing server for routing the events, a rules engine, and a gateway server executing rules invocation logic and interacting with the rules engine. The interaction server tracks incoming events, initiates and sends a routing request to the routing server, including a special routing object, for each event that requires conformance to business rules, the routing server, executing the routing object, sends an execution request to the gateway server, which upon receipt of the request prepares a business object model (BOM), being a set of facts upon which the rules engine executes rules appropriate to the facts, resulting in routing direction for the routing server to route the event.

An apparatus for controlling lifespan of interaction requests includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to detect when an interaction request is being initiated for send from a communications appliance, server, or system, activate an interface on the appliance, server, or system for configuring a time to live (TTL) for the interaction request, cause, via the configuration, the interaction request to expire if not answered within the TTL life span, and cause, via the configuration, the TTL constraint applied to the interaction request to be lifted if the interaction is answered within the TTL life span.

A routing system is provided for intelligent routing of instant messages between clients connected to a data network and customer service representatives connected to the network. The system comprises at least one instant message server and at least one intermediate server connected to and addressable on the network, the intermediate server capable of routing and accessible to the instant message server. Clients connecting to the instant message server through instant message software assert a connection link advertised by the instant message server to establish bi-directional communication between the client machine and the intermediate server. In preferred application, the intermediate server interacts with the client for identification of client and client software. The client request is then routed to an appropriate customer service representative running compatible software according to enterprise rules establishing an active instant message connection between the client and the selected customer service representative.

A system for optimizing response time to events or representations thereof waiting in a queue has a first server having access to the queue; a software application running on the first server; and a second server accessible from the first server, the second server containing rules governing the optimization. In a preferred embodiment, the software application at least periodically accesses the queue and parses certain ones of events or tokens in the queue and compares the parsed results against rules accessed from the second server in order to determine a measure of disposal time for each parsed event wherein if the determined measure is sufficiently low for one or more of the parsed events, those one or more events are modified to a reflect a higher priority state than originally assigned enabling faster treatment of those events resulting in relief from those events to the queue system load.

摘要:
A method for routing interactions arriving at a contact center. The method may include: providing a cost schedule for the interactions that includes a classifier in which categories of interaction types are defined and a cost value corresponding to each of the interaction types; providing a capacity value for agents; and routing the interactions in accordance with a routing process. The routing process may include: receiving the first interaction; pursuant to the classifier, classifying the first interaction as being a first interaction type; determining the cost value of the first interaction as being the cost value corresponding to the first interaction type in the cost schedule; calculating for each of the agents an available capacity; and routing the first interaction to a first agent based on the available capacity of the first agent being sufficient given the cost value.

An apparatus is provided and includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions that when executed from a non-transitory physical medium by the processor cause the processor to detect when a request for interaction that is configured for a scheduled processing is received or otherwise registered at a service access point associated with a contact center, identify schedule data from the request and add the schedule data along with a request identification and a location identifier to a scheduling and reporting application, consult a contact center interaction routing system in response to determining that the scheduled interaction request is to be processed, and route or cause processing of the interaction request based on the schedule data. According to one embodiment, the schedule data includes a scheduled time and date for processing the request.
摘要:
Systems and methods are shown for routing task objects to multiple agents that involve analyzing content of each task object in an input buffer to determine a classification relevant to the content of the task object that is added to task object metadata, which is placed in a second buffer. Objects in the second buffer are analyzed and the classification in the object metadata used to search workforce management data representing agent characteristics to identify agents who match the classification. A routing strategy is applied to the object to select an agent and the object is routed to the agent's workbin. Another aspect involves organizing workbin tasks objects by priority, according to recent system conditions excluding objects that cannot presently be processed based on a workflow strategy or status data, and presenting remaining objects based on order of priority, or re-arranging objects between workbins based on recent status info.
摘要:
A method for prioritizing processing of interactions at a contact center, the method including: identifying an interaction to be prioritized for processing; identifying a person associated with the interaction; identifying an influence level of the person associated with the interaction; and prioritizing the interaction for processing based on the influence level of the person associated with the interaction.
