  • Patent number: 10986232
    Abstract: A method for allocating resources to modules of a contact center includes: receiving a first interaction in a first state; determining a first load of a first module of the contact center to be low; in response to determining that the first load is low, routing the first interaction to the first module of the contact center, the first module transitioning the first interaction from the first state to a second state; receiving a second interaction in the first state; determining a second load on the first module of the contact center to be high; and in response to determining that the second load is high, routing the second interaction to a second module configured to transition the second interaction from the first state to the second state, the second module having different resource requirements than the first module.
