Abstract: Information is gathered in real-time from one or more information sources monitored by a contact center. For example, information may be gathered from social media sites and routing hardware in the contact center. The gathered information is about a product and/or service managed by the contact center. The gathered information is analyzed in real-time to determine a potential impact on communications with the contact center. For instance, the gathered information is analyzed to determine how it impacts voice calls in the contact center. The communications with the contact center are routed based on a skill group. In response to determining that there is a potential impact on the communications with the contact center, the system dynamically creates a new skill group and/or modifies the skill group. New communications are then routed to an agent in the new skill group and/or in the modified skill group.

Abstract: Complex systems, such as those comprising processing, data storage, and communication resources for processing a plurality of communication and data processing events and types of events, are often caught unaware of outside events or how to respond to such outside events. Providing a system that self-configures in response to external events enables such systems to be proactive in their operations to address increased activity and/or types of activity in response to an external event. The system then self-evaluates, which may identify overages or shortfalls, such that the system self-learns and response more appropriately over time.

Abstract: System and method to provide customer feedback in a telephone call between a customer and a contact center, the method comprising: monitoring an audio media stream from the customer in the telephone call, detecting a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) feedback code within the monitored media stream, and assigning a feedback rating from the detected feedback code.

Abstract: A device, system, and method optimizes active transactions of an agent. The method performed using a prioritizing device of a contact center includes determining a first priority value of an incoming transaction, the incoming transaction included in a user request received by the contact center, the incoming transaction requiring utilization of a real-time communication channel. When the first priority value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, the method includes identifying an agent device associated with the contact center to process the incoming transaction, said agent device currently processing an ongoing transaction. The method includes transferring the ongoing transaction from the agent device. The method includes transferring the incoming transaction to the agent device.

Abstract: A computing system to manage one or more communication sessions is disclosed. The computing system includes an input module to receive at least one subscription request from at least one resource, wherein the at least one subscription request comprises a subscription criteria. The system further includes a monitoring module to monitor the one or more communication sessions to generate one or more data metrics based on the subscription criteria. The system further includes a report generation module to analyze the one or more generated data metrics to generate one or more subscription reports. The system further includes a notification module to generate one or more notifications based on the one or more generated subscription reports.
