Methods, systems and computer readable media for providing skill-based, secure and dynamic contact center agent network access are described.

Skill-based secure dynamic contact center agent access

The system and method detect a communication device being connected to a network. It is determined if the communication device will be used by an Agent the contact center. If the communication device will be used by an Agent in the contact center, a contact center display application is downloaded onto the communication device. The contact center display application is used to display contact center status information. The contact center status information is transmitted to the communication device. The communication device receives the contact center status information and displays the contact center status information via the contact center display application that was downloaded onto the communication device.

Contact center agent display application

An agent of a contact center records an agent message. The recorded agent message is received at the contact center. The recorded agent message is stored. An agent actively using one of a first communication device or a second communication device is detected. In response to detecting that the agent is actively using the first or the second communication device, the recorded agent message is sent to the one of the first or the second communication devices that the agent is actively using. The system and method also has a peer-to-peer configuration for recording and sending agent messages.

Local preservation of an agent message

Systems and methods for providing adaptive estimated wait time predictions for work items are provided. More particularly, a processor-enabled module may select a best estimated wait time algorithm from among a plurality of estimated wait time algorithms that meets the accuracy and calculation resource conditions of a contact center based on rules. Furthermore, the conditions of a contact center may change at times and as a result the selection of which estimated wait time algorithm is considered best will adapt to suit the contact center change. In addition, the selected best estimated wait time prediction can be provided to client communication devices.
