    摘要: A virtual contact center system includes facilities for delivering voice authentication prompts upon callback to a CSR who has logged in via a computer link. More particularly, in an illustrative embodiment of the present invention a voice response unit (VRU) provides a voiced sequence of random characters to a CSR under the control of a contact control server. Upon receipt of the sequence, the CSR seeking authentication keys in the same or a related character sequence for delivery over the computer link to the contact control server. When the keyed sequence from the CSR is received at the contact control server in an expected form, the CSR is determined to be authentic. In appropriate cases, either or both of the voice prompt from the contact control center VRU or the keyed character sequence from the CSR may be encrypted to further raise the certainty of authentication.

    摘要: Paging, cellular telephone or other messaging functionality is incorporated into a virtual contact center system to permit logged-off customer service representatives (CSRs) to be alerted to a need to logon to the system, and to permit CSRs to alert supervisors or specialists to logon to the system. Matching at a contact control server of existing conditions to predetermined criteria, e.g., failure to login at an assigned time, or specified network conditions (such as length of customer queues), triggers a command for a communication to one or more logged-off CSRs. Results of follow-up testing at the contact control server for matches causes page requests to be renewed, redirected or canceled. Unusual contact requirements or emerging network conditions requiring supervisory input or increased monitoring by traffic or subject matter specialists is likewise triggered by analysis at a contact control server or by CSR click selection of messages to be sent to a virtual contact center requesting issuance of information such as web pages to cognizant personnel.

    摘要: A system and method for providing PBX-like functionality at a remote office location includes the capability of maintaining a network session with a mobile number associated with the remote worker once the worker terminates the remote office session. The system utilizes a remote office platform interposed between a data communications network and a conventional PBX switch (located either at a subscriber-based office location or within the communication network and shared by a number of different subscribers). A remotely located individual (such as a telecommuter) “logs in” to the remote office platform and, once the individual is authenticated, a graphical user interface (GUI) emulating a PBX station set is enabled at the remote employee's personal computer, the GUI including a field for entry of the user's mobile number. When the user ends the session at the remote location, the platform invokes a mobility process to maintain a communication session with the remote worker via the communication device associated with the mobile number.
