摘要:
A method and system for dynamically determining a poll wherein at least a first parameter for each queue of one or more queues is maintained and a poll for each queue based upon an initial polling mode corresponding to each of the one or more queues is conducted. The polling mode comprises either a scheduled polling mode or an on-demand polling mode. Thereafter, at least a second parameter for each queue based on the poll is determined and an interval or a mode of a subsequent poll for each queue based on a comparison between the first parameter and the second parameter corresponding to each queue is scheduled. The subsequent poll is either (a) a different one of the scheduled poll and the on-demand poll, or (b) the scheduled poll having a different polling interval than the initial polling mode wherein the initial polling mode is also the scheduled poll.

A contact center 100 having a plurality of performance goals is provided. The contact center includes a routing agent 232 operable, when a work item is to be routed to a servicing destination 134, 138 or 208, determine, for each performance goal, a status of goal realization 304 or 504 and a corresponding set of selection criteria 308 or 508 for the determined statuses of goal realization and a destination selector 216 or 220 operable to select the servicing destination based, at least in part, on the set of selection criteria.
摘要:
A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. The contact center proposed herein provides the ability to calculate short-term predictor metrics for achieving particular percent service level objectives in a plurality of skills, determine an optimal skill based on the comparison of short-term predictor metrics, and assign an agent to the optimal skill to increase the contact center's overall operational efficiency and performance.

A contact center 100 including a grouping agent 232 that is operable to (a) select a first work item 308a, 312a, 316a, or 320a for servicing by a contact center resource; (b) determine whether the first work item is related to a second work item 308b, 312b, 316b, or 320b; and (c) when the first work item is related to the second work item, create, for servicing by the contact center resource, a first work item grouping comprising the first and second work items.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a contact center and methodology for servicing non-real-time contacts. The advance time for the non-real-time contacts is determined by subtracting the time of service for an earlier item from the time of service for a later item. Items that are serviced immediately after certain types of predetermined events, e.g., the queue containing the non-real-time contacts has no working agents; the queue is empty; the system clock is changed; and the system is rebooted are ignored in estimating the wait time for enqueued items. Using this methodology, accurate wait-time predictions are provided for more efficient management of the contact center.
摘要:
A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. The contact center proposed herein provides the ability to, among other things, establish and maintain a pool of idle agents so that when an outbound call attempt is successful, the agent which is assigned to the successful outbound call attempt can be selected from a plurality of agents based on the agent's superior efficiency rather than being based on the fact that the agent is the next in line to be assigned to such a contact.
摘要:
Systems and methods for providing adaptive estimated wait time predictions for work items are provided. More particularly, a processor-enabled module may select a best estimated wait time algorithm from among a plurality of estimated wait time algorithms that meets the accuracy and calculation resource conditions of a contact center based on rules. Furthermore, the conditions of a contact center may change at times and as a result the selection of which estimated wait time algorithm is considered best will adapt to suit the contact center change. In addition, the selected best estimated wait time prediction can be provided to client communication devices.
摘要:
The present disclosure describes various ways of monitoring the needs of a contact center in real-time and pushing training to a number of agents to address those needs. In determining to push training to agents, the short-term efficiency of the agent is balanced with the long-term efficiency of the contact center. When agents receive and then complete training events designed to address the monitored contact center needs the attributes associated with the agents are updated to allow them to handle the contacts requiring training.
摘要:
A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. The contact center proposed herein provides the ability to, among other things, selectively interrupt a contact center agent in an AUXILIARY state. This enables the contact center to accommodate sudden influxes of work items without substantially increasing customer wait time.
摘要:
A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. The contact center proposed herein provides the ability to, among other things, monitor workload distribution to one or more sub-contractors and predict whether a contractual obligation will be met (or not) and based on such a prediction automatically switch routing algorithms within a contractual period of time to ensure that costs associated with a contract are minimized.
