  • Patent number: 9479643
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention routes a call from a caller to a select agent with a controller, the call being routed based on a caller profile of the caller and a regional profile. A processor can generate a new call record for the call between the caller and the select agent, the new call record including caller attributes and agent attributes. A detector can monitor the call between the caller and the select agent, the call being monitored for communication barriers. The communication barriers can include words and/or phrases that indicate a misunderstanding, and/or repetition of the same phrase. The processor can update the caller's profile and/or the regional profile, the caller's profile and/or regional profile being updated with the new call record.

  • Patent number: 8443048
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for assigning a resource to a client in a collaborative environment. The method includes defining, using a tool, a threshold value for collaborative attributes for each resource responding to one or more clients and calculating on a periodic basis, using the tool, an updated value for the collaborative attributes for each resource. The method further includes comparing, upon receipt of a collaboration request, the updated value with the threshold value defined for collaborative attributes for a first resource and, if the updated value is less than the threshold value for the first resource, connecting the client to the first resource for establishing a collaborative session. If not, repeating comparing the updated value with the threshold value for the collaborative attributes defined for a next resource and connecting the client to the next resource whose updated value is less than the threshold value.
