  • Patent number: 7882212
    Abstract: At least one contact between at least one server and at least one user is archived. The contact includes a recorded interaction between the user and the server, e.g., a recorded interaction between a customer and a customer service agent via the server.

  • Publication number: 20070297578
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recording communications are provided. In this regard, a representative system incorporates recording resources and a recording controller. The recording resources are operative to record information corresponding to communications, with the communications being provided in multiple communication formats and/or involving devices and paths with varying characteristics and capabilities. The recording controller is communicatively coupled to each of the recording resources. The recording controller is operative to: monitor the communications; determine suitability and availability of the recording resources for recording the communications; analyze a recording hierarchy; and allocate at least an available one of the recording resources for recording a designated one of the communications based on the suitability and availability determined and the recording hierarchy.
