Method and system for publishing real-time data, that is unique and specific for administering automatic contact distribution (ACD) systems, via a simple standard and in locations that are accessed readily.

Method and system for publishing ACD specific data

Method and system for providing an open-ended and modifiable ability to customize the display of data for current viewing of the display for purposes such as, but not limited to, Contact Center administration and management.

Custom data display

A system and method of using voice to access information in a call center is disclosed. Providing a voice response server to handle requests from local and remote administrators allows a call center to be managed even when administrators are physically distant from the call center. The voice response server may adhere to VoiceXML to process requests for call center information from administrators.

System and method of using a phone to access information in a call center

A method and apparatus are provided for routing a plurality of different types of Internet messages within a host to a plurality of agents. The method includes the steps of determining the message type of each of the plurality of different types of Internet messages and inserting a message type identifier into a packet of each message type of the plurality of different message types. The method further includes the steps of routing the packets to an Internet message distributor and distributing the messages within the Internet message distributor to the plurality of agents based upon the inserted message type identifier.

Contact identifier for message types

A method and apparatus are described for providing enterprise information to a client through a call center of the enterprise. The method includes the steps of detecting an identity of the client based upon call associated information received through a call connection between the client and the call center, presenting the client with a plurality of options based upon the identity of the client and presenting the client with enterprise information based upon a selected option of the plurality of options.

Method of delivering enterprise data through a call center

A method and apparatus are described for providing a graphical user interface for a plurality of users under a predetermined format substantially controlled by an employer of the plurality of users. The method includes the steps of disposing a proxy server between the plurality of users and an information resource used by at least one user of the plurality of users and converting information exchanged between the predetermined format substantially controlled by the employer of the user and a predetermined format of the information resource.

GUI for organizational environment

A method for optimizing a workload of an agent of the transaction processing system is disclosed, where the agent handles inbound and outbound calls and the calls are based on voice-dialog communication and/or text-dialog communication. The method includes obtaining historical data from a database based on a category of a current call handled by the agent, where the historical data provides an indication of an expected duration of the call. The method also includes determining a predicted end time of the current call. If an inbound call is pending, the inbound call is routed to the agent after the current call terminates. If an inbound call is not pending, then an outbound call number is obtained from a list of outbound call numbers to be placed, the outbound call is placed a determined amount of time prior to the predicted end time of the current call, and the outbound call is routed to the agent.

System and method for optimizing call routing to an agent

The method and apparatus is for converting messages and responses between different formats in a communication system. The method may have in one embodiment the following steps: providing at least one plug-in that implements at least one message format conversion in the communication system; assigning the at least one plug-in to a handicapped agent; and activating the at least one plug-in for the respective handicapped agent for converting received messages in a first format to a second format and for converting responses in the second format to the first format. The apparatus implements the method.

Multi-media transactions presentation based on user physical characteristics

A system and method of changing entity configuration information in a call center is disclosed. By automatically monitoring entities in a call center, selecting an entity in the call center, and modifying configuration information of the selected entity, keeping track of entities in a call center is automated. Agents and consoles are examples of entities monitored in the call center. When agents or consoles change physical location, the electronic floor plan is automatically updated to reflect the new physical location information for the agents and consoles. Further, a supervisor of a call center can change entity configuration information by selecting an entity on the electronic floor plan.

System and method of changing entity configuration information while automatically monitoring and displaying such information in a call center

A method and apparatus are provided for processing a call with a client detected by a call center to an agent of the call center. The method includes the step of providing a call object for the call, collecting attributes of the call within the call object, associating an agent object with the call object and displaying client data to an agent of the call center based upon a view process of the associated agent object.

Contact center data integration with enterprise applications

A method and apparatus are provided for allocating resources within a call center based upon a predetermined business rule of an enterprise controlling the call center. The method includes the steps of analyzing records from a plurality of call transactions based upon the predetermined business rule, recognizing a correlation among the call transaction records based upon the predetermined business rule and adjusting a resource of the call transactions based upon the recognized correlation and predetermined business rule.
