  • Patent number: 5164983
    Abstract: A telemarketing complex is managed by a system that compiles and processes traffic analysis data obtained from customer premises-based information sources as well as public switched telecommunications network-based information sources, such that service levels are automatically and dynamically balanced among telecommunications centers (TCs) in the complex. Typically, the telemarketing complex is comprised of a plurality of ACDs and a plurality of data centers that may be selectively linked to the (TCs) where the telemarketer receives calls. The system includes: (1) an interface to network-based services that report the origin and destination of each of a plurality of calls received by the telemarketer at all locations; (2) an interface to network-based services that enables the telemarketer to affect changes in call processing logic; and (3) a traffic control center processor (TCCP) that accepts input data from all other elements in the system.
