Abstract: A method and system for determining occupancy of an agent in a multimodal contact center are provided. The method includes monitoring, by a processor, a plurality of multimodal contacts simultaneously handled by an agent. For each contact of the plurality of multimodal contacts, a media capability of a contact may be determined and one or more parameters based on the media capability and the agent may be determined. A multimodal occupancy score for the agent based on the one or more parameters for each of the plurality of multimodal contacts.

Abstract: A method for forming and disbanding dynamic temporary groups includes receiving a plurality of contacts at the facility, wherein each contact is associated with a respective user and a respective set of attributes; identifying a first subset of contacts which share a first common attribute; and dynamically forming a temporary group of contacts by determining a second common attribute shared by a second subset of the contacts, wherein the second subset of contacts is a smaller subset of the first subset of contacts.

Abstract: A contact center, methods, and mechanisms are provided for dynamically scaling a contact center based on scaling triggers and monitored activity. The monitored activity includes information provided from one or more sources. This information serves to indicate whether a contact center activity is increasing, decreasing, or maintaining a steady-state. When the activity at a contact center is increasing, a scaling mechanism increases a number of resources provisioned to the contact center according to rules. When the activity at a contact center is decreasing, a scaling mechanism decreases a number of resources provisioned to the contact center according to rules. The scaling triggers are created, removed, modified, or otherwise classified as correlations between monitored activity and contact center scaling are observed.
