A method includes generating data from workforce applications, at least one of the workforce applications including at least one of forecasting, scheduling, recording, and monitoring functionalities; and storing the data from the at least one of the workforce applications in a storage area network (SAN), the SAN being operable to connect the at least one of the workforce applications to computer storage devices. This may also include keeping recorded contacts in a long term storage device such as the SAN or an operational data store (ODS) and transparently searching in both the ODS and the SAN simultaneously. With a concept of moving data on to a file system SAN which is cheaper as compared to a database technology such as ODS, the method facilitates predictable performance from the ODS and easier manageability with constant cost from SAN.

Systems and methods for storing and searching data in a customer center environment

A synchronization manager comprises an instruction execution system. The instruction execution system is configured to identify an initial master application of a plurality of workforce applications that are in communication with a contact center, identify remaining ones of the workforce applications as slave applications, determine a substitute master application hierarchy by prioritizing the slave applications, monitor the initial master application to detect changes to user data, and if changes to the user data in the initial master application are detected, update corresponding user data in the slave applications with the changes to the user data in the initial master application. The instruction execution system is further configured to, if the initial master application is unavailable, identify one of the slave applications as a substitute master application based on the prioritization of the slave applications in the substitute master application hierarchy, and monitor the substitute master application to detect changes to the user data.

Systems and methods for data synchronization in a customer center

Systems and methods for managing alarms from recorders are provided. An exemplary method comprises the steps of: receiving alarm alerts from one or more recorders by a central application module, the alarm alerts being operative to notify a user of a problem associated with the one or more recorders, storing the alarm alerts in an alarm database, and managing the alarm alerts by the central application module so that a user can view the alarm alerts.
