  • Publication number: 20150156323
    Abstract: A method for automatically routing a telephonic communication to at least one of a plurality of communication destination addresses is provided. The method is implemented by a computer readable medium having a plurality of code segments. The method comprises the step of receiving customer identifier and communicating with a customer history database configured to store historic data. The method also includes determining whether the received customer identifier corresponds to a stored customer identifier in the customer history database, wherein the customer profile included in the stored historic data is based on one or more components of a customer's demographic identity. Historic data corresponding to the stored customer number is identified based on the comparison of the received customer identifier and the stored customer identifier. The telephonic communication is associated with a predetermined communication destination based on the identified historic data.

  • Publication number: 20140301541
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a telephonic communication between a customer and a contact center is provided. According to the method, a telephonic communication is separated into at least first constituent voice data and second constituent voice data. One of the first and second constituent voice data is analyzed by mining the voice data and applying a predetermined linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to one of the separated first and second constituent voice data. Behavioral assessment data is generated which corresponds to the analyzed voice data.

  • Patent number: 8170195
    Abstract: A computer readable medium for controlling a computer is provided. The computer readable medium comprises a plurality of code segments for controlling a computer. A code segment receives a telephonic communication comprised of voice data and event data. A code segment receives computer application data comprising data associated with at least one computer application in use during the telephonic communication. A code segment analyzes the telephonic communication by translating the received voice data into a text format, the text format defining a plurality of components. At least one component of the text data and communication event data occurring during a time interval is classified into one of a plurality of object types, and the computer application data during the time interval is compared to the object type of the classified components.

  • Patent number: 8094790
    Abstract: A computer program for training a customer service representative by analyzing a telephonic communication between a customer and a contact center is provided. A code segment selects at least one identifying criteria. A code segment identifies a pre-recorded first telephonic communication corresponding to the selected identifying criteria. The first telephonic communication has first event data associated therewith. A code segment generates coaching assessment data corresponding to the identified pre-recorded first telephonic communication. A code segment identifies a pre-recorded second telephonic communication corresponding to the selected identifying criteria. The second telephonic communication has second event data associated therewith. A code segment compares the identified pre-recorded second telephonic communication to the identified first telephonic communication within the coaching assessment data.
