The technology disclosed herein enables provision of sales guidance to an agent on a real-time communication session based on background sound identified during the communication session. In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving audio from a first endpoint operated by a first user. The audio is received over a real-time communication session established between the first endpoint and a second endpoint operated by an agent of a contact center. The method further includes identifying sound other than a voice of the first user from the audio and determining a characteristic of the first user indicated by the sound. During the communication session, the method includes providing sales guidance to the agent based on the characteristic.

Real-time provision of guidance to sales-focused agents of a contact center based on identifiable background sounds

The technology disclosed herein enables communications among users having communication session requests waiting in a queue. In a particular embodiment, a method includes determining that a first communication session request from a first endpoint is in a queue for establishing a communication session with a receiving endpoint to which the queue is regulating access. While the first communication session request is in the queue, the method includes connecting the first endpoint to a communication channel between the first endpoint and a second endpoint having a second communication session request in the queue. Also, while the first communication session request is in the queue, the method includes exchanging user communications between the first endpoint and the second endpoint over the communication channel.

Facilitation of communication among individuals waiting in a contact center queue

Dynamically routing and re-evaluating a work item based on actions taken on the work item (e.g., adding context information). The augmented routing system categories a work item into one or more dynamic work categories and identifies active knowledge workers and/or knowledge articles based on the work categories. The work item is displayed in a dynamic knowledge worker view, which allows the knowledge worker to take action on the work item. The actions a knowledge worker may take are based on permissions of the knowledge worker, one of the actions that a knowledge worker may take on a work item is to add context information to the work item. After an action is taken on a work item, the system re-evaluates the work item, which may result in the work item being added/removed from one or more work categories; and added/removed from one or more dynamic customized knowledge worker views.

Method to augment routing delivery systems with intuitive human knowledge, expertise, and iterative artificial intelligence and machine learning in contact center environments

Routing one or more routing characteristics of a communication session/or agent session are identified in real-time. For example, a routing characteristic is captured for a communication session (e.g., a voice call) as it goes into a contact center queue and then to an agent communication endpoint. The routing characteristics of the communication session/agent sessions is compared to one or more predefined routing characteristics that identify a wanted and/or unwanted communication session routing behavior/agent session in the contact center network. In response to identifying the wanted and/or unwanted communication session routing behavior in the contact center network, routing of the communication session and/or agent session in the contact center network are automatically changed.

Enforcement of contact center communication session routing behaviors

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to efficiently editing data requests sent from devices, allowing for an improved database information delivery system. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, an administrator device limits an amount of data requested based on a number of factors prior to sending the request to a server. In some embodiments, a server, after receiving a request for refreshed data, reduces the amount of data requested based on a number of factors prior to retrieving the requested data from a source and delivering the requested data to an administrator device.

Method and system for integrated optimized reporting

A contact center includes: a microprocessor; a computer readable medium, coupled to the microprocessor, to store, for one or more contact center objects, contact center information; and a microprocessor executable report generator, The report generator, when executed, receives, from a user, a selected contact center object, retrieves, from the computer readable medium, a set of data elements associated with the selected contact center object, the set of data elements defining a first space having a first dimension, projects the set of data elements onto a subspace of the first space to form a transformed set of data elements, the subspace having a second dimension less than the first dimension, and provides, for display to a user, the transformed set of data elements.
