Abstract:
A skill finding system for automated administration of employee's skills in an enterprise is provided. The skill finding system includes a selection module configured to select at least one employee of the enterprise for skill mutation from an employee database. The skill finding system further includes a mutation module configured to mutate at least one attribute of skill of the selected at least one employee based on predefined mutation rules. The skill finding system further includes an update module configured to terminate or retain the mutated at least one attribute of skill from the employee database based on at least one performance feedback of the selected employee and level of mutation in the selected employee's at least one attribute of skill.
Abstract:
A call managing computer system for managing at least one communication session in an enterprise is disclosed. The call managing computer system includes a monitoring module for monitoring context of the at least one communication session. The system further includes a strategy generation module for generating the at least one strategy based on the monitored context of the at least one communication session and one or more performance indicators. The system further includes a validation module for validating the at least one generated strategy. The system further includes an agent selection module for executing the at least one validated strategy to select at least one agent for the at least one communication session.
Abstract:
System and method to improve self-service operation in a contact center, the method including: determining a characteristic of the new customer contact; determining a characteristic of an existing customer contact; determining a communication delay latency between an assignment engine and a contact center agent; determining a time to assign the new customer contact to the contact center agent, wherein the time to assign is made in a predetermined amount of time in advance of receiving a ready indication from the contact center agent, the predetermined amount of time determined from the communication delay latency.
Abstract:
A contact center, methods, and mechanisms are provided for dynamically scaling a contact center based on scaling triggers and monitored activity. The monitored activity includes information provided from one or more sources. This information serves to indicate whether a contact center activity is increasing, decreasing, or maintaining a steady-state. When the activity at a contact center is increasing, a scaling mechanism increases a number of resources provisioned to the contact center according to rules. When the activity at a contact center is decreasing, a scaling mechanism decreases a number of resources provisioned to the contact center according to rules. The scaling triggers are created, removed, modified, or otherwise classified as correlations between monitored activity and contact center scaling are observed.
Abstract:
System and method to select a contact handling mode in a contact center, the method including: receiving, by a communication interface, a contact from a customer; calculating, by a processor of the contact center, an expected wait time by the customer based upon historical contact information stored in a memory of the contact center; calculating an expected cost of queueing the customer for the expected wait time; and selecting the contact handling mode based upon the expected cost of queueing the customer.

Abstract:
A predictive system for resource allocation in an enterprise is disclosed. The predictive system includes a database comprising one or more performance indicators for a plurality of resources, wherein the one or more performance indicators are associated with one or more work stages related to at least one communication session in the enterprise. The system further includes a monitoring module to monitor one or more parameters associated with the at least one communication session. The system further includes a determination module to generate at least one performance score for each of the plurality of resources based on the one or more monitored parameters and the one or more performance indicators. The system further includes a selection module to select the at least one resource from the plurality of resources based on the at least one generated performance score associated with the at least one selected resource.
Abstract:
A system for authenticating an agent-initiated interaction between a customer and an agent is provided. A secure code generation module to generate a first secure code for an agent-initiated interaction between a customer and an agent and to provide the first secure code to an agent device; and a secure code verification module to receive a second secure code from an authentication device, determine whether the second secure code corresponds to the first secure code, and to provide an indication that the second secure code corresponds to the first secure code based on the determination that the second secure code corresponds to the first secure code or provide an indication that the second secure code does not correspond to the first secure code based on the determination that the second secure code does not correspond to the first secure code is disclosed.
