  • Publication number: 20190208061
    Abstract: A system and method for providing contact center services in a hybrid operations environment including a first operations environment and a second operations environment. A controller in the first operations environment receives information on a call involving an end user device. A first media service is provided during a first portion of the call, and second media service is provided during a second portion of the call. The providing of the first media service includes transmitting by the controller a request for the first media service to a first media resource in the second operations environment. The first media resource transmits first media to the end user device in response. The providing of the second media service includes transmitting by the controller a request for the second media service to a second media resource in the first operations environment. The second media resource transmits second media to the end user device in response.

  • Patent number: 10264129
    Abstract: A system and method for optimized rendering of contact center services in a hybrid operations environment. A processor in a first operations environment receives a message transmitted by a first contact center resource relating to a contact center service. The message is forwarded to the processor by an edge device coupled to a second operations environment different from the first operations environment. The edge device is configured to hide from the message identification of a location of the contact center resource. Despite such hiding, the processor identifies the location of the first contact center resource based on identification information that the processor retrieves from the message. The processor selects a second contact center resource based on the identified location of the first contact center resource for providing the contact center service.

  • Patent number: 10154143
    Abstract: As system and method for dynamically selecting a dial plan includes a processor that detects a new telephony call placed by a contact center agent in a first operations environment. The processor automatically identifies a state of the contact center agent without the agent having to expressly enter digits into a telephony device. The state may identify whether the agent is logged in, a work state of the agent, and/or whether the agent is handling a call. The processor selects a dial plan based on the determined state, and transmits a message for routing the call based on the selected dial plan.

  • Patent number: 9591137
    Abstract: A system and method for providing contact center services in a hybrid operations environment. A first controller in a first operations environment is configured to receive a first message for establishing a media session, and transmit a request for media service. A media controller in a second operations environment is configured to provide media to a target device during the media session in response to the request; receive during the media session a second message from the first controller; and control the media based on the second message from the first controller.

  • Patent number: 9559939
    Abstract: A system for providing failover capabilities in a hybrid operations environment including a first operations environment and a second operations environment includes a first controller in a first operations environment configured to receive registration information for an agent device, and a second controller in a second operations environment configured to receive the registration information from the first controller. The first controller is a stand-by controller and the second controller is a primary controller. In response to determining that the second controller is not available for routing an inbound call, a media gateway is configured to transmit a request to the first controller in the first operations environment for routing the call to the agent device.
