1. A method for benchmarking performance in a contact center system comprising:

  • applying, by at least one computer processor communicatively coupled to and configured to operate in the contact center system, a first matching strategy for pairing a first portion of a first plurality of contacts with a first plurality of agents for connection in the contact center system;

    applying, by the at least one computer processor, a second matching strategy for pairing a second portion of the first plurality of contacts for connection with the first plurality of agents for connection in the contact center system, wherein the second matching strategy is different from the first matching strategy;

    establishing, by the at least one computer processor, in a telecommunication switch of the contact center system, communication channels between communication equipment of the first plurality of contacts and communication equipment of the first plurality of agents according to the pairings resulting from the applications of the first and second matching strategies;

    retrieving, by the at least one computer processor, a first plurality of contact outcomes from an electronic database communicatively coupled to the contact center system, wherein the first plurality of contact outcomes indicates outcome results associated with connecting the first portion of the first plurality of contacts with the first plurality of agents;

    retrieving, by the at least one computer processor, a second plurality of contact outcomes from the electronic database communicatively coupled to the contact center system, wherein the second plurality of contact outcomes indicates outcome results associated with connecting the second portion of the first plurality of contacts with the first plurality of agents;

    comparing, by the at least one computer processor, the first plurality of contact outcomes with the second plurality of contact outcomes to determine a first amount of performance gain for the contact center system attributable to the first matching strategy;

    adjusting, by the at least one computer processor, at least one parameter of the first matching strategy based on the first amount of performance gain; and

    applying, by the at least one computer processor, the first matching strategy with the at least one adjusted parameter to pair a second plurality of contacts with a second plurality of agents for connection in the contact center system to further increase performance of the contact center system relative to applying the second matching strategy.
