System and method for allocating contact resources to contact resource users
First Claim
1. A system for allocating contact resources and contact resource users, the system comprising:
- a procurement module operable to accept contact resource availability from plural contact resource sources and to communicate contact resource availability to plural contact resource users, the procurement module further operable to allocate selected contact resources to a contact resource user; and
a routing module interfaced with the procurement module and operable to coordinate routing of selected contact resources for performing contacts determined by the contact resource user.

Abstract
A system and method for allocating contact resources provides a platform for communicating contact resource availability from contract resource sources to contact resource users and for procurement of the available contact resources by contact resource users. Procurement of contact resources is supported by quality control that trains, certifies and monitors contact agents to provide assurance to contact resource users of a defined standard of contact quality. Routing of contacts is coordinated through physical medium to support a schedule of procured resources. Speech-to-text resources aid contact communications and quality.

29. A method for supporting communication between a contact agent and a contact, the method comprising:
-
generating a communication in text form by the contact agent;
transmitting the communication in text form through a network to an intermediate location between the contact agent and the contact;
translating the communication from text form to a voice signal;
and transmitting the voice signal to the contact. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)

32. A routing module for coordinating physical medium to support the use of procured contact resources, the routing module comprising:
-
a contact resource configuration that defines a schedule for the procured contact resources;
an infrastructure scheduling module in communication with the contact resource configuration and operable to schedule available physical medium to meet the contact resource schedule; and
an infrastructure configuration interfaced with the infrastructure scheduling module and storing the schedule for the contact resources. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36)
