    摘要: A computerized-method for prioritizing tenants for a service for a request-router in a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service-platform contact-center, is provided herein. When a service-monitoring module for a microservice is operating and a request-router is in a throttle-mode for each service of the microservice, the computerized-method may be operating a Tenants-Prioritization (TP) module for each tenant. The TP module may include: (i) receiving a degradation-level (ii) periodically pulling data from an Automatic-Call-Distribution system to calculate agent-activity-levels and call-queue-size; (iii) maintaining the calculated agent-activity-levels, calculated call-queue-size, tenant-trend-indicator and a preconfigured account-impact-score of the tenant; (iv) determining a tenant-tier-level based on a calculated Tenant-Request-Prioritization score; and (v) providing the tenant-tier-level and a number-of-allowed-requests per tenant-tier-level to the request-router, to provide the service to the tenant and other tenants having the determined tier-level, in a preconfigured time-window, based on the tenant tier-level and the number of allowed requests per tenant tier-level.

    摘要: A computerized-method for reducing wait-time in a multichannel-contact-center. For each query that is not resolved by a bot: a. selecting a digital-channel-type from a plurality of digital-channel-types; b. operating an aggregator module on the selected digital-channel-type to aggregate the received query and similar pending queries into a group-of-queries; c. operating a tracker-module on the group-of-queries to identify a query-resolution and to send a notification as to the query-resolution to the customer via the digital-channel-type that the query has been received; and d. repeating operations a.-c. until a query-resolution has been identified or all digital-channel-types in the plurality of digital-channel-types have been selected.

    摘要: A computerized-method for redirecting, inbound-voice-interactions to digital channels in a contact center, is provided herein. The computerized-method includes: (i) operating a digital-qualifier module to determine a digital-medium-transition-quotient, of an inbound-voice-interaction of a customer in an inbound-queue. The digital-medium-transition-quotient is an indication of a level of suitability of a digital-communication-channel to resolve a customer issue; (ii) operating an interaction-redirection module to determine a digital-communication-channel for redirection of the inbound-voice-interaction, based on customer-preference and the determined digital-medium-transition-quotient; and (iii) forwarding the inbound-voice-interaction and the determined digital-communication-channel to an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) system to be carried-out by an agent via the determined digital-communication-channel when the determined digital-medium-transition-quotient is above a preconfigured threshold.

    摘要: A computerized-method for service monitoring and rate limiting for a service for a request router in a SaaS-platform-contact-center is provided herein. When a service-monitoring-module for a microservice of the SaaS-platform-contact-center is operating and a request-router is in a throttle-mode for a service-of-the-microservice, operating a Tenants Prioritization (TP) module. The TP module includes: determining a tenant-tier-level having a determined quota-of-service-requests; receiving a degradation-level from the service-monitoring-module, for a preconfigured-period; reducing corresponding predefined total-number-of-allowed-requests by a first-threshold, when the degradation-level of the service-of-the-microservice has degraded by a second-threshold, during the preconfigured-period; increasing the corresponding predefined total-number-of-allowed-requests by the first-threshold, when the degradation-level of the service-of-the-microservice has improved by the second-threshold, during the preconfigured period; and instructing the request-router to get out of throttle-mode for the service-of-the-microservice, when the degradation-level of the service-of-the-microservice has improved by the second-threshold during the preconfigured period and there is an indication that the service-of-the-microservice has been degraded.

    摘要: A computerized system and method may analyze data representing remotely connected computer systems, which may be for example used by agents as part of their activity and/or routine within a given system or organization, to assess and/or quantify critical factors that may impact the output and/or efficiency for a given agent or a plurality of agents within the system or organization. In a computerized-system comprising one or more processors, and a memory including a data store of agents' data and metrics, embodiments of the invention may collect a plurality of data streams, which may include call and/or chat data and/or metadata; store the data streams in an appropriate database; periodically extract parts of the stored data from the database, and calculate effectiveness scores based on the extracted data; and transmit the calculated scores to potential data utilizers and/or target applications, to be presented via a user interface thereof.

    摘要: A computerized-method for improving queries operation in a multichannel contact center is provided herein. The computerized-method includes: (i) operating a stream processing application for each new query of a customer to store query-related data and to identify one or more queries of the customer in a cloud-contact data store. The cloud-contact data store may have one or more interactions-queue types, when one or more queries have been identified: (a) operating a repetition module on the identified one or more queries of the customer to filter out two or more queries having a common query-topic; (b) operating a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) module on the filtered two or more queries having a common topic to identify two or more identical queries. Each query of the identified two or more identical queries have a unique query identification number; and (c) handling the two or more identical.
