  • Publication number: 20140016769
    Abstract: A method for controlling establishment of a communication channel between a service provider terminal of a contact center and a service request terminal. Receipt of a request to establish the communication channel is responded to by determining whether a license for a media type associated with the communication channel is allocated to the service provider terminal. If a license is determined to be allocated to the service provider terminal, establishment of the communication channel is allowed. If a license is determined not to be allocated to the service provider terminal, availability of a license from a pool of licenses is determined. If a license is determined not to be available, establishment of the communication channel is refused. If a license is determined to be available, the license is allocated to the service provider terminal and establishment of the communication channel is allowed.
