Central administration of a call center
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a number of processes and/or network elements of a system which are at least partially engaged in data exchange, and which are distributed in one or more domains in a network and which have at least one interface for communication, comprising:
- controlling the processes and/or network elements jointly and centrally; and
decoupling the at least one interface of the network from the at least one interface of the processes, during the data exchange between the processes, which takes place via switches of the network.

Abstract
The invention relates to the operation and administration of a call center, the network elements of which or the applications of which are distributed in a network and, in particular, are available via the Internet. In this arrangement, switches of a public network are linked into the administration. Communication between different network elements, particularly applications and servers from different domains takes place by converting interfaces of the applications into a protocol which is intended for interdomain communication.

14. A device for controlling a number of processes and network elements of a system which are at least partially engaged in data exchange with one another, which are distributed in one or more domains in a network and have at least one interface for communication, comprising:
-
a control device which jointly and centrally controls processes and/or network elements; and
a conversion device which decouples the at least one interface of the network from the at least one interface of the processes and network elements.
