  • Publication number: 20100054450
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a networked contact center that includes multiple platforms to host multiple tenants.

  • Publication number: 20050047579
    Abstract: A call center server architecture supporting service transactions between service customers and service agents who can be either local to or in geographic distributed locations relative to the call center. The call center server architecture includes an inbound voice packetizer providing a PSTN line interface to the call center, a call center server system, coupled to said inbound voice packetizer, that provides for the execution of call center server control applications, and a router, coupled among said inbound voice packetizer, the call center server system, and, through a network interface to any combination of intra- and extranets, to service agent terminal equipment. The call center server control applications dynamically determine the routing and distribution of service requests received from service customers to service agents and are dynamically responsive to determinations of inadequate quality of service for individual communications channels.
