Abstract:
A system and method for dynamically scaling up or down, resources of a contact center tenant, based on detected or predicted demands on the contact center tenant. A processor monitors and collects contact center operation data. The processor detects, in response to the monitoring, a condition relating to the 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. Health of a particular deployment may also be monitored to learn over time which deployments are healthy for which conditions. If a current deployment is deemed to be unhealthy, the processor may take action to move the contact center to a healthy state.
Abstract:
A system and method for composing a routing strategy for a contact center via a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface provides a plurality of selectable blocks and a workspace for assembling selected ones of the plurality of blocks. Each of the plurality of blocks is associated with logic for managing an interaction with the contact center. A processor receives identification of one of the blocks and identification of a location in the workspace area relative to other blocks in the workspace area, and places the identified block in the identified location. The processor generates the routing strategy based on the blocks in the workspace area and location of the blocks relative to each other in the workspace area. The processor also stores a layout of the blocks in the workspace area as a routing diagram for the routing strategy. The processor activates the routing strategy for managing the inbound interaction according to the activated routing strategy.
Abstract:
A system and method provide an indication by a calling device of a transfer preference for an interaction with a called device. The called device is enabled or restricted to transfer the interaction based on the transfer preference. The transfer preference is provided by a session initiation protocol or various other call topologies.
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:
A machine learning system and method for contact center use. Activities associated with a plurality of contact centers are monitored and a knowledge base is updated based on the monitored activities. An outcome for a particular contact center may be predicted based on monitored interactions for the particular contact center, and based on information in the knowledge base. An output is then generated based on the predicted outcome.
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 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:
A method includes: receiving, on a processor, data associated with an interaction between a user and a first enterprise; applying, by the processor, a rule of a template based on the data; identifying, by the processor and using the rule of the template, a second enterprise; and transmitting, by the processor, the data to the second enterprise in accordance with the rule.
Abstract:
A communication system has a network-connected server comprising a processor and a coupled data repository and software executing on the processor from a non-transitory medium. The software provides a first function establishing a communication session between an initiator and an agent of an enterprise hosting the system, a second function gathering information about persons other than the initiator and the agent as potential conference participants, a third function generating and sending invitations to a conference to include the initiator and the agent to individual ones of the potential conference participants, and a fourth function connecting those accepting invitations to the conference.
