Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for monitoring and reporting various metrics associated with objects of interest. The present invention is adapted to monitor objects of interest, such as contact center agents, to determine whether a triggering event has occurred and, if so, report metrics associated with the object of interest in a dynamic, customized, and real-time fashion.

Abstract: A reporting system is utilized to generate timeline visualization information characterizing a process in a call center. The reporting system comprises a report server, a graphical server, and a database. The report server receives a request for a report, relating to one or more specified aspects of the call center process, from a user terminal, and generates a query to the database. The report server utilizes information retrieved from the database responsive to the query to generate a report for delivery to the user terminal. The report comprises at least one timeline having a plurality of image identifiers associated therewith. The graphical server supplies image files corresponding to respective ones of the image identifiers to the user terminal to thereby permit generation of a visualization of the timeline at the user terminal.

Abstract: A contact center is provided that includes a plurality of agents for servicing incoming contacts and a target behavior identification module operable to (i) process a set of events to yield a corresponding measure; (ii) compare the measure to a plurality of rule sets, each of the rule sets corresponding to a different type of target behavior; and (iii) when the measure is defined by the a selected rule set, associate the measure with a type of target behavior corresponding to the selected rule set.
