    摘要: According to one example, a method includes facilitating communication between a user web application and an entity. The method may be performed by a communication server of a web communication service. The method includes receiving a request from the user web application to communicate with the entity, establishing a communication session between the user web application and an automated agent, obtaining contextual information associated with the communication session, the contextual information including information provided by the user web application, determining that a user of the user web application should be connected with a live agent, and in response to the determining, connecting the user web application with a terminal of an agent associated with the entity. The method further includes providing the live agent associated with the entity with the contextual information.

    摘要: A method includes provisioning a first Virtual Network Function (VNF) component on a first virtual machine, the first virtual machine being supported by a first physical computing system, provisioning a second VNF component directly on a second physical computing system, and using, within a telecommunications network, a VNF that includes both the first VNF component running on the first virtual machine and the second VNF component running directly on the second physical computing system. The method further includes, with a VNF manager, determining that a third VNF component should be provisioned, and in response to determining that the third VNF component is capable of utilizing a hardware accelerator associated with a third physical computing system, implementing the third VNF component on the third physical computing system.

    摘要: According to one example, a method includes providing an interactive call menu creation service to a client device. The method further includes receiving a first dataset from the client device of an entity via the interactive call menu creation service, the first dataset including a call structure that defines a plurality of communication destinations and destination addresses for the communication destinations. The method further includes, in response to receiving the first dataset, generating a second dataset, the second dataset comprising code for embedding in a webpage to provide an interactive call menu for establishing communication to the plurality of communication destinations. The method further includes sending the second dataset to the client device in response to receiving the first dataset.
