    摘要: Load balancing between agents in a network skillset has become a particular problem. Not only is there a need to ensure efficient use of agent resources in the network skillset but increasingly labour law and union requirements mean that work must be shared between agents in an equitable manner. A source contact node in a network of contact centres requests nodal longest idle agent information from the other contact centres in the network. Using this information a network longest idle agent is identified and the incoming contact routed to that agent. A reservation system is used in combination with the longest idle agent information in order to prevent dropped contacts and to ensure equal sharing of work between agents in a network skillset. Contact centre servers are linked over a separate network, isolated from a network linking the contact centre switches.

    摘要: A system for adapting a contact center configuration in order to achieve a specific business goal is provided. The system comprises a display for displaying to a user a representation of an actual state of a performance metric of the contact center, an interactive tool for enabling the user to interact with and thereby modify the representation of the performance metric to a desired state, and a computation engine. The computational engine is arranged to determine a measure of the modification of the representation and to identify at least one contact center configuration parameter, which if adjusted, results in an update of the actual state of the performance metric which more closely approaches the desired state represented by the modification.

    摘要: A method for assigning individual contact processing resources of a contact center to contacts in the contact center is disclosed. On receiving a new contact at the contact center, a contact object corresponding to the new contact is provided within a population of contact objects corresponding to contacts being processed by the contact center. A programmed processing object corresponding to each individual contact processing resource of the contact center is provided. Each processing object is arranged to adaptively and independently select contact objects from the population of contact objects based on a value received for processing contacts from the population and a value spent on processing contacts from the population. Once a programmed processing object selects a contact object, an associated contact processing resource is assigned to the contact.

    摘要: A contact center interface is provided by co-operation between a search engine and a contact center. A search query entered by a user into the search engine is passed to the contact center and the contact center determines from the search terms an appropriate skillset to deal with that user query, returning to the search engine a link enabling the user to initiate a direct communications session to a live agent or queue having that skillset expertise, thereby bypassing interactive voice response sessions which are normally required to ascertain the nature of a query. By providing multiple search options to the user, the user is empowered to select the best skillset, and the accuracy of future searches can be improved.
