Abstract:
A contact center is described as having the ability to simultaneously consider a plurality of different work assignment strategies. Specifically, a work assignment engine in the contact center is enabled to create merged strategies from work-finding-agent strategies and agent-finding-work strategies to determine if one such strategy contradicts the other strategy.
Abstract:
A microprocessor executable resource monitor operable to determine that a less skilled and/or qualified resource has been assigned to service a work item or is servicing the work item, wherein a more skilled and/or qualified resource exists but is not currently available to service the work item, monitor at least one of a level of service provided by the less qualified resource to the work item and/or a customer associated with the work item and an availability of the more skilled and/or qualified resource to service the work item, and, in response to the monitoring step and while the work item is being serviced, transfer the work item to the more skilled and/or qualified resource for servicing.
Abstract:
A contact center auditing work assignment engine communication system hosts a multi-functional automatic bot agent to discover issues, update properties, identify and solve problems, and provide operational support for contact center managers, creating a proactive and flexible automatic audit and cooperation between a bot agent, human agents, and supervisors.
Abstract:
A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. In particular, work assignment methods are disclosed that are configured to utilize multiple selection mechanisms in determining an optimal work assignment. By analyzing data relating to agent selection, queue information, and state information, of one or more contact centers, a work item may be efficiently assigned to achieve a work item optimal solution. In some cases, the optimal solution for a work item may be contrary to an optimal solution for a particular contact center. However, the primary goal of efficiently handling the work item via one or more resources can be achieved by merging selection mechanisms and intelligently assigning work items on a system-wide basis.
Abstract:
Work assignment methods and systems are provided that dynamically redistribute a percent allocation of contacts after an outage at a contact center. In general, a work assignment mechanism, upon receiving information that a contact center is removed from a system of available contact centers, dynamically recalculates a percentage allocation of each available contact center in the system. Subsequently received contacts are distributed among the available contact centers in accordance with the recalculated percentage allocation. When a contact center is returned to the system from an outage, the percentage allocation of contacts can be incrementally increased to the returning contact center.
