Method and apparatus for providing real-time communication center reporting data to third-party applications over a data network
First Claim
1. A system for providing communication-center statistical data to a third party application over a data network comprising:
- an intermediate service point connected to the network between the communication-center environment and the third-party application;
a set of application program interfaces for transforming and transmitting communication-center statistical data from the center to the intermediate service point; and
a set of application program interfaces for transmitting the communication-center statistical data from the service point to the third-party application;
characterized in that the third-party application accesses the intermediate service point using the network and manipulates one or more services hosted within the service point to configure to receive by subscription statistical data about specific communication-center entities described as objects including real time performance statistics of those entities.

Abstract
A system for providing communication-center statistical data to a third party application over a data network includes an intermediate service point connected to the network between the communication-center environment and the third-party application; a set of application program interfaces for transforming and transmitting communication-center statistical data from the center to the intermediate service point; and a set of application program interfaces for transmitting the communication-center statistical data from the service point to the third-party application. In a preferred embodiment the third-party application accesses the intermediate service point using the network and manipulates one or more services hosted within the service point to configure to receive by subscription statistical data about specific communication-center entities described as objects including real time performance statistics of those entities.

10. In a system for providing communication-center statistical data to a third party application over a data network, a method for authenticating clients accessing an intermediary service point of the system comprising steps of:
-
(a) receiving a request at the intermediary service point from a client;
(b) extracting client-identity data from the initial request to access the server;
(c) forwarding the extracted identity data to a naming and directory service for client authentication and receiving confirmation thereof;
(d) forwarding the client-identity to an enterprise system server for client authentication for specific services and receiving confirmation thereof, and (e) assigning a security identification to the client for the pending session between the client and the intermediary service point. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
