Abstract:
An apparatus includes: a processor; and memory, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: identify a plurality of parameters prior to initiating an interaction request; transmit the interaction request to a server to initiate an interaction with a contact center, the interaction request comprising the plurality of parameters; and receive information regarding the interaction after termination of the interaction with the contact center.
Abstract:
A system that is adapted to route interactions to contact center agents. More specifically, the system is adapted to identify an interaction to be routed, and identify a group of agents based on one or more constraints for generating one or more candidate agents. The system is also adapted to gather context data surrounding the candidate agents. For each agent of the candidate agents, the system is adapted to estimate an expected value to be obtained by routing the interaction to the agent. The system is further adapted to select a particular agent of the candidate agents based on the estimates, and signal a routing device for routing the interaction to the particular agent.
Abstract:
A system and method for creating, monitoring, and visualizing contact center routing strategies via a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface displays a routing diagram depicting a contact center routing strategy. The routing diagram includes a plurality of blocks each associated with logic for managing an interaction with the contact center. A processor monitors contact center performance as interactions with the contact center are managed according to the routing strategy. The processor identifies one of the plurality of blocks affected by the contact center performance, and further identifies a threshold associated with the identified block. The processor determines whether the contact center performance satisfies the threshold, and modifies a visual appearance of the identified block based on the determination.
Abstract:
A machine learning system and method for contact center use. Activities associated with a plurality of contact centers are monitored and a knowledge base is updated based on the monitored activities. An outcome for a particular contact center may be predicted based on monitored interactions for the particular contact center, and based on information in the knowledge base. An output is then generated based on the predicted outcome.
Abstract:
A system and method include a processor and a memory, where the memory stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine whether a session is hard-to-understand. When the session is hard-to-understand the processor provides an adjustment for the session.
Abstract:
A system for managing customer-to-business voice communication has a network-connected communications device and instructions executable on the communications device from a non-transitory physical medium, the instructions providing a first function for determining if a destination asserted requires treatment, a second function for sending data from the communications device to a network-connected server, a third function for receiving alternative destination information from the server, and a fourth function for establishing communication with the business based on the returned destination information.
Abstract:
A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) service system includes a SIP-enabled soft switch at a telephony service provider, executing code from a coupled machine-readable medium, routing SIP transactions to remote destinations, a media server coupled to the SIP-enabled soft switch storing media including ring tones and music-on-hold for use in progressing transactions, and an interface to a wide-area-network (WAN) for transmitting transactions and media. The SIP-enabled soft switch determines for each transaction from stored data whether media services are to be provided or not provided for that destination, and in the event media services are not to be provided, alters packet data to indicate media services to be provided by a server local to the destination.
Abstract:
A system and method for simulating an interaction between a customer and an agent of a customer contact center. A processor receives input conditions for simulating the interaction and generates a model of the customer based on the input conditions. The processor receives a first action from an agent device associated with the agent and updates a state of the simulation model based on the first action. The processor identifies a second action of the simulation model in response to the updated state, executes the second action, determines an outcome of the simulation, and provides the outcome to the agent device. In response to the outcome, the agent is prompted to take an action different from the second action.
Abstract:
A system and method for dynamically scaling up or down, resources of a contact center tenant, based on detected or predicted demands on the contact center tenant. A processor monitors and collects contact center operation data. The processor detects, in response to the monitoring, a condition relating to the operation of the contact center. The processor dynamically adjusts at least one hardware or software resource for the contact center based on the detected condition. Health of a particular deployment may also be monitored to learn over time which deployments are healthy for which conditions. If a current deployment is deemed to be unhealthy, the processor may take action to move the contact center to a healthy state.
Abstract:
An intelligent connection station has at least one wireless transceiver operating in a wireless protocol, at least one speaker and one microphone, a connection to a wide area network, and software executing on the connection station from a non-transitory physical medium, the software providing a first function seeking compatible communication appliances within range of the wireless transceiver operating in the wireless protocol, and a second function enabling wireless pairing, providing a wireless link between the intelligent connection station and any communication appliance discovered within range and activated to pair. The pairing enables digital communication between the paired device and a remote communication appliance over the wireless link, through the intelligent connection station and the wide area network.
