Abstract
Communications between agents and customers are a key feature of contact centers. Agents may have a question about how to perform a particular task, a response to the question that other agents may know. A supervisor may be presently unavailable and transferring the customer requires significantly more overhead and resources. The systems and methods herein disclose an agent-to-agent (A-to-A) channel that enables a question to be posed to an agent and receive a response via a dedicated channel for A-to-A communications. Accordingly, the agent may stay engaged with the customer and resolve issues without the need to wait for a supervisor or transfer the customer to another agent.
