Abstract:
A contact center has channels for receiving communications requesting interaction with an agent, agent stations providing connection ability to received communications, and a Virtual Interaction (VI) Server connected to the LAN and executing VI software on a processor from a non-transitory medium. The VI Server creates and stores a Virtual Interaction object based on determination of an expected receipt of a future communication, the VI associating a source, an intent, a set of data regarding the source, and an agent station destination, and the created VI is stored and matched with a real incoming communication from the source associated in the VI, and the VI is then instantiated as a live interaction by connecting the source of the incoming call with the agent destination associated in the VI.
Abstract:
A system and method for setting agent cross skill enablement levels in a contact center. In one embodiment, a series of simulations is performed to determine optimum cross skill enablement levels for various circumstances, e.g., the number of agents, the proficiency of each agent at each of a number of skills, and the rates of incoming interaction requests requiring each of various skills. A lookup table is created which is subsequently used, during configuration of the contact center prior to operation, or in real time during operation, to adjust agent cross skill enablement levels.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring and visualizing contact center performance via a graphical user interface. A processor identifies a plurality of contact center metrics, identifies predicted values for the plurality of contact center metrics, and displays a reference geometric object having a plurality of vertices representing the predicted values for the plurality of contact center metrics. The processor also determines actual values for the plurality of contact center metrics and overlays over the display of the reference geometric object, a display of a current geometric object. The current geometric object has a plurality of vertices representing the actual values for the plurality of contact center metrics. Deviation of the current geometric object from the reference geometric object is an indication of deviation of one or more actual values from the predicted values.
