Abstract: A control module of a node comprising a baseboard management controller (BMC), a first memory and a second memory is present. The first memory stores a working firmware, the second memory stores a default firmware. The BMC normally connects with the first memory and reads the working firmware to boot during a booting procedure.

Abstract: In order to provide better service with self-service applications, metrics for a communication session between a user and a self-service application are identified. Based on the metrics, a pattern is determined that will likely predict an initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application. In response to determining that the pattern will likely predict the initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application, the way the user is managed in the communication session is changed. For example, if a particular pattern of IVR responses is detected that will likely lead to a caller abandoning a voice call, the voice call can be automatically transferred from the IVR system to a contact center agent. This provides for increased customer satisfaction and better utilization of contact center resources.
