Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed herein for processing agent interactions. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving interaction data describing states and transitions between states within interaction sessions. The method further provides identifying business processes based on the interaction data and identifying instances of the business processes. The method further provides storing the instances and generating a model from the instances.

Abstract: Method and systems are presented for presenting multiple activities associated with one of a plurality of call center agents correlated in time. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: determining at least one of the agents to be displayed; and displaying activity information in visual correlation with a timeline. The activity information includes a first plurality of activities originating from a first source and a second plurality of activities originating from a second source. Each of the activities is associated with the at least one agent.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for integrating workforce management and quality monitoring. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: receiving information about a skill; capturing a plurality of contacts made by an agent; receiving an evaluation of the contacts; and updating the skill information based on the evaluation. The skill is associated with an agent, and the evaluation measures the agent skill. In another embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: receiving information about a skill; capturing a plurality of contacts made by an agent; receiving an evaluation form for the contacts; and updating the form based on the skill information. The skill is associated with an agent, and the form produces a measurement of the agent skill.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for detecting business transactions from sequences of call center agent activities. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a plurality of agent activity events; matching a sequence of events within the received events with one of a plurality of transaction definitions; creating a transaction from the matching sequence; and displaying the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an optimizing operations at a contact center. In one embodiment, an integrated contact center comprises: a content recorder configured to record content of plurality of agent interactions; an analytics component configured to perform speech analysis on at least a portion of the agent interactions, and further configured to evaluate the interactions based on a plurality of criteria, producing a score; and a quality monitor configured to associate the analyzed interactions with interaction metadata.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an integrated process for optimizing operations at a contact center. In one embodiment, the method comprises: defining contact center business goals; planning at least one campaign to implement the goals; scheduling and deploying a workforce in accordance with the campaign to produce agent-customer interactions; measuring agent performance on the interactions to produce quality metrics; analyzing the metrics to produce a rating; combining quality metrics to produce performance indicators; and using the performance indicators in the planning step of a second campaign or another iteration of the first campaign.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an optimizing operations at a contact center. In one embodiment, an integrated contact center comprises: a workforce manager comprising a scheduler and a tracking function; and a lesson assignment function configured to receive at least one indicator of performance of the agent, and further configured to assign a lesson to the agent based on the at least one indicator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling call center agents are provided. An exemplary system for scheduling call center agents includes an agent computing device that is capable of obtaining quality scores of agents. The quality score is a measurement of quality that the agents provide to a call center. The Agent computing device is capable of transmitting the quality scores of agents over a network. The system further includes a manager computing device that is capable of: receiving the quality scores of agents over the network, receiving a scheduled interval, receiving a quality goal for the scheduled interval, the quality goal being a desired measurement of quality that the agents collectively provide to the call center, determining a quality goal for the scheduled interval based on the received quality scores of agents, and determining a schedule for the agents based on the quality goal, the quality goal score, and the scheduled interval.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visualization of call center performance are provided. An exemplary method includes the steps of: obtaining quality performance of agents data that includes information on the quality of service and quality characteristics of the agent, obtaining call center operations data that includes information on statistics and details of a call center, correlating the quality performance of agents data and the call center operations data, identifying correlation-based discovery, and optimizing call center performance based on the correlation-based discovery.
