System and method for routing interactions for a contact center based on intelligent and dynamic routing considerations
First Claim
1. A method for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor, a pending interaction with a communication device operated by a customer;
identifying, by the processor, first and second objectives of the contact center in response to detecting the pending interaction, wherein the first objective is identified as more important to the contact center than the second objective;
identifying, by the processor, a first agent for handling the first objective, and determining a likelihood of success of the first agent in achieving the first objective;
identifying, by the processor, a second agent for handling the second objective;
transmitting, by the processor, instructions to a routing device to route the pending interaction to an electronic device operated by the second agent instead of an electronic device operated by the first agent; and
prompting, by the processor, the second agent to pursue the second objective.

Abstract
A system and method for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center that includes routing interactions based on adaptable business objectives. A processor detects a pending interaction with a customer. The processor identifies first and second objectives of the contact center in response to detecting the pending interaction, where the first objective is identified as more important to the contact center than the second objective. The processor identifies a first agent for handling the first objective, and determines a likelihood of success of the first agent in achieving the first objective. The processor identifies a second agent for handling the second objective, and determines a likelihood of success of the second agent in achieving the second objective. In the event that the likelihood of success in achieving the second objective by the second agent is higher than the likelihood of success of achieving the first objective by the first agent, the processor transmits instructions to route the pending interaction to the second agent. The processor also prompts the second agent to pursue the second objective.

9. A system for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center, the system comprising:
-
processor; and memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; detect a pending interaction with a communication device operated by a customer; identify first and second objectives of the contact center in response to detecting the pending interaction, wherein the first objective is identified as more important to the contact center than the second objective; identify a first agent for handling the first objective, and determine a likelihood of success of the first agent in achieving the first objective; identifying, by the processor, a second agent for handling the second objective; transmit instructions, by the processor, to a routing device to route the pending interaction to the second agent instead of an electronic device operated by the first agent; and prompt, by the processor, the second agent to pursue the second objective. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
