    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for servicing a transaction in a contact center. When an instant message communication associated with a transaction is suspended prematurely, special treatment may be provided to the transaction initiator. The special treatment includes: (a) maintaining the assigned service priority for the transaction for assignment to a subsequent communication; (b) scheduling a subsequent outbound instant message to an external endpoint associated with the transaction initiator; (c) assigning to the transaction initiator a favored service priority when the subsequent inbound instant message is received by the contact center; and (d) maintaining previously selected item(s) in memory and providing the item(s) to the transaction initiator in a subsequent communication.

    摘要: The system monitors the activity of customers, agents, and industry-experts in a network for new topics relevant to a business and the interests in those topics. A determination is made automatically if there is enough interest to warrant adding a skill. If there is not enough interest, the system continues to monitor for topics and interests. If there is enough interest, the system automatically projects a resource needed for a skill. The system monitors internal resources and the network to determine if the resource needed for the skill exists in an internal resource. If the resource needed for the skill exists in an internal resource, the internal resource is reallocated. If the resource needed for the skill does exist in the internal resource, the system monitors the network for an external resource that has the skill.

    摘要: Provided herein is a system and method to produce a composite rating using context information. The method may include: measuring a first and a second metric in a first and a second context respectively, to provide a first and a second contextual measurement, respectively; transforming the first contextual measurement to a first plurality of semantic context values by use of a first plurality of pertaining functions; transforming the second contextual measurement to a second plurality of semantic context values by use of a second plurality of pertaining functions; combining one or more of the first plurality of semantic context values and one or more of the second plurality of semantic context values, by use of one or more fuzzy logic rules, to produce a plurality of semantic distributions; and calculating a centroid of a merger of the plurality of semantic distributions in order to produce the composite rating.

    摘要: A method for assigning a contact to undifferentiated agents is provided, comprising: describing substantially each undifferentiated agent using at least one agent attribute to produce a set of agent attribute values; describing a contact using at least one contact attribute to produce a set of contact attribute values; relating the sets of agent and contact attribute values to produce at least one preferred agent; determining an expected wait time for substantially each of the at least one preferred agent to produce a set of expected wait times; determining a wait tolerance for the contact; if the expected wait time for at least one preferred agent is less than the wait tolerance, then assign the contact to the at least one preferred agent; and if the expected wait time for the at least one preferred agent is greater than the wait tolerance, then assign the contact to an undifferentiated agent.

    摘要: An ACD system (101) is programmable by an operator of the ACD system to automatically change the work of a call center agent (106-108) in order to maximize the agent's productivity and to provide a variety of work balanced with "breather" time in order to prevent agent burn-out. The conditions for changing the agent's work and the agent's alternative duties when the conditions are met are both programmed by the operator via a vectoring capability (150) of the ACD system and a scripting language (FIGS. 2-23) for defining the vectors. When an agent becomes available to handle a call from a particular call queue (121-129), the agent's corresponding vector is executed, and the conditions specified by the vector are checked against the present status of the call center to determine if they are met. If the conditions are not met, the agent is caused to handle a call from the particular call queue. But if the conditions are met, the agent is caused to perform a function specified by the vector, other than handing a call from the particular call queue, even though a call may be waiting for an available agent in that call queue.
