A method and system automatically optimizes agent time. The method performed by a transferring device includes monitoring a communication session between an agent device used by an agent of the contact center and a user device used by a user. The communication session including first communications generated by the agent and second communications generated by the user. The method includes determining when the communication session is to be transferred from the agent device to an automated system of the contact center. The automated system is configured to perform the communication session by generating third communications for the second communications. The method includes generating a control signal upon determining the communication session is to be transferred that is configured to automatically transfer the communications session from the agent device to the automated system.

Contact manager computer system and method to dynamically generate an aggregated context information, including: a monitoring module configured: to monitor a communication session with a customer; to determine one or more communication contexts of the customer; to determine one or more communication contexts of an agent assisting the customer; to obtain customer context information from the one or more determined communication contexts of the customer; to obtain agent context information from the one or more determined communication contexts of the agent; a processor coupled to a memory, the memory configured to store context information under control of the processor; an aggregated context information generation module to generate the aggregated context information from the obtained customer context information and the obtained agent context information; an inference module to create an inference from the aggregated context information; and a display module to display a result of the inference to an agent.

System and method for guiding agents in an enterprise over aggregated interactions

Executable code, placed into a plurality of computing resources forming a distributed ledger, (e.g., 'smart contracts') are provided to enable communicating between parties without requiring trust or an intermediary, such as a broker or escrow service. Data may be deposited in a secure data storage for access by a party who satisfies the condition of the smart contract. A resource holding the deposited data then activates a link upon receiving an access token, as produced as a result of satisfying the smart contract. The distributed ledger is then updated to enable other parties to see a description of the data and the terms.

Regulating communication comprising access to protected data

A computing system for managing one or more communication interrupts during a communication session associated with a resource in an enterprise is disclosed. The computing system includes a monitoring module for monitoring one or more parameters of the communication session. The system further includes a database for storing the one or more monitored parameters. The system further includes a determination module for determining at least one participation score for the resource based on the one or more stored parameters. The system further includes a control module for controlling the one or more communication interrupts based on the at least one determined participation score.

Providing automated progress updates in a contact center including detecting an activity by a resource of the contact center related to a customer interaction occurring via a customer communications channel between the resource and a customer. The activity comprises an interaction between the resource and one or more additional resources associated with the contact center occurring via a second communications channel. In response to detecting the activity by the resource, a notification comprising a progress update related to the customer interaction is automatically generated. The notification is transmitted, via the customer communications channel, to a customer device associated with the customer interaction.

Systems and methods for providing automated progress updates in a contact center

As 'call centers' continue to be replaced with omnichannel contact centers, managing a plurality of simultaneous media channels becomes more important. Contacting a customer on one channel and, at the customer or agent's request, initiating a second channel that delays the interaction will having limited acceptance and, in some jurisdictions, may be illegal. By nailing-up an agent half-communication with a number of channels, agents maintain a perpetual connection comprising an agent half-communication to a server, such as one serving as a media anchor point, share point, etc. The customer half-connection is established to a server and the agent, already connected, is joined. As a result, the customer experiences a greatly reduced delay between the time they answer and being greeted by an agent, regardless of the media type or types utilized.

Management of agent sessions for omnichannel predictive outbound

A resource selection computing system for selecting at least one resource for one or more communication sessions in an enterprise is disclosed. The resource selection computing system includes a monitoring module for monitoring one or parameters associated with at least one communication session from at least one customer. The system further includes a database for storing the one or more monitored parameters. The system further includes a computation module for computing at least one connection score for the at least one customer with each of a plurality of resources based on the one or more stored parameters. The system further includes a resource selection module for selecting the at least one resource from the plurality of resources based on the at least one computed connection score.

A method and system automatically determines when to review an agent response. The method performed by an oversight device includes receiving first data including a request type of a request received by a contact center. In response to the first data, the method includes automatically determining rules corresponding to the request type, the rules indicating required steps performed by an agent for the request type. The method includes receiving second data corresponding to a response process used by the agent in generating a response to the request, the response process including performed steps performed by the agent for the request. In response to the second data, the method includes automatically determining whether the required steps are included in the performed steps of the response process. The method includes forwarding the response to a supervisor device when the required steps are absent from the performed steps of the response process.
