    Abstract: Systems are provided to manage pauses, including on-hold, conditions in communications, such as text-based communications. Users may be provided with messages at a pace that, among other things, allows a particular cadence of messages to be maintained, even if a reply has been created. Accordingly, resources of a contact center may be better allocated to other matters requiring attention without causing undue customer dissatisfaction or the burden of handling additional messages. While voice-based “hold” conditions may be managed with messages or music on hold, text-based communications may be managed with social messaging content and/or comfort messages.

    Abstract: To provide better metrics for a contact center, the system determines when a contact center agent has been assigned to a plurality of agent skills in a skill group. A skill group is a set of skills for which the contact center seeks to calculate overall metrics across those skills. Information is received that the contact center agent is in a first state for the plurality of agent skills. For example, the contact center agent is available to support the different products. A status is calculated for the contact center agent in the skill group. The status for the contact center agent in the skill group is calculated based a minimum or maximum of the first state of the contact center agent in the skill group. The status of the first agent in the skill group is sent to a contact center administrator to better manage the contact center.

    Abstract: A mechanism for adaptive modification of an attribute tree in a graph based contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. Adaptive modification methods are disclosed that allow a graph database to automatically remove and create categories as well as block removal of categories with active relationships. Staff assignment, administrator productivity, and customer service are improved with the assessment, merging, and removal of atrophied categories and the operationally desirable expansion and/or addition of categories.

    Abstract: In order to provide better service with self-service applications, metrics for a communication session between a user and a self-service application are identified. Based on the metrics, a pattern is determined that will likely predict an initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application. In response to determining that the pattern will likely predict the initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application, the way the user is managed in the communication session is changed. For example, if a particular pattern of IVR responses is detected that will likely lead to a caller abandoning a voice call, the voice call can be automatically transferred from the IVR system to a contact center agent. This provides for increased customer satisfaction and better utilization of contact center resources.

    Abstract: A graph database is described for use in connection with a contact center. The graph database includes a plurality of nodes and relationships that describe the operations, entities, personnel, and attributes in the contact center. Also included in the graph database is an attribute tree that enables a work assignment engine in the contact center to make proximity-based work assignment decisions.

    Abstract: Text-based automated customer service agents provide an attractive contact center interaction for may customer-agent communications. However, the “say anything” nature of text may result in additional problems not encountered in prompted interactions. A single misunderstanding or error may cause an automated communication to fail, however, by providing micro-tasks to a human agent, an automated communication may be maintained longer with benefit of a human agent's input. A lack of progress towards completion of a work item may cause the communication to be routed to a human agent and/or a different channel (e.g., voice, email, etc.). Accordingly, a micro-task or an opt-out operation may be provided to maintain the communication with an automated agent for as long as possible but yet provide improved customer service when necessary.
