Abstract: A system and method for routing interactions to contact center agents. The system is adapted to concurrently identify a plurality of interactions waiting to be routed, and identify a plurality of candidate agents viable for handling the plurality of interactions. The system is also adapted to calculate a predicted wait time associated with each of the candidate agents. For each agent of the plurality of candidate agents, the system is adapted to estimate an expected value to be obtained by routing each of the plurality of the interaction to the agent. The expected value is a function of the predicted wait time. The system is further adapted to assign each of the plurality of the interactions to one of the plurality of candidate agents based on the estimated reward, and signal a routing device for routing each of the plurality of the interactions to the agent assigned to the interaction.

Abstract: A system and method for muting interactions to contact center agents. The system is adapted to identify a network of agents and customers. Each node of the network represents either an agent or a customer, and a connection is made between the node representing the agent and the node representing the customer, in response to identifying a fit between the customer and the agent. The system is adapted to identify a current interaction to be routed, identify a first group of agents based on one or more constraints for generating one or more candidate agents, and determine the fit between a current customer and each of the candidate agents based on the network of agents and customers. The system is further adapted to select a particular agent of the candidate agents with a best fit, and transmit a signal for routing the current interaction to the particular agent.

Abstract: A system that is adapted to route interactions to contact center agents. More specifically, the system is adapted to identify an interaction to be routed, and identify a group of agents based on one or more constraints for generating one or more candidate agents. The system is also adapted to gather context data surrounding the candidate agents. For each agent of the candidate agents, the system is adapted to estimate an expected value to be obtained by routing the interaction to the agent. The system is further adapted to select a particular agent of the candidate agents based on the estimates, and signal a routing device for routing the interaction to the particular agent.

Abstract: A system and method for routing interactions to contact center agents. The system is adapted to identify an interaction to be routed, and identify a first group of agents based on one or more constraints for generating one or more candidate agents. The system is adapted to gather preference of each of the candidate agents, gather context of the interaction, and identify, from the one or more candidate agents, a second group of agents based on the gathered preference and context. The system is further adapted to invite each agent in the second group to make a bid for the interaction. The system is also adapted to receive a bid from a particular agent in the second group, and transmit a signal for routing the interaction to the particular agent in response to the received bid.
