1. A method for automated categorization of an at least one interaction, the method comprising:
- a criteria definition step for defining an at least one criterion associated with an at least one information item;
a category definition step for defining an at least one category associated with an at least one aspect of the organization;
an association step for associating the at least one criterion with the at least one category;
a receiving step for receiving an at least one information item related to the at least one interaction;
a criteria checking step for determining whether the at least one criterion is met for the at least one interaction; and
a categorization step for determining an interaction category relevancy for an at least one part of the at least one interaction and the at least one category.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for automated categorization of an interaction between a member of an organization and a second party. The method comprises defining one or more criteria and one or more categories, wherein each category relates to a combination of one or more criteria. The criteria involve data extracted from the interactions as well as external data. Each interaction is checked against the criteria, and is then assigned to one or more categories according to the met criteria. An optional evaluation of the categorization step, and improvement of the categorization if the evaluation results fall below a threshold are disclosed.

28. An apparatus for automated categorization of an at least one interaction between a member of an organization and a second party, the apparatus comprising:
-
a criteria definition component for defining an at least one criterion associated with an at least one information item; a category definition component for defining an at least one category associated with an at least one aspect of the organization; an association component for associating the at least one criterion with the at least one category; a criteria checking component for checking according to an at least one information item associated with the at least one interaction whether the at least one criterion is met for the at least one interaction; and a category checking component for determining an at least one score for assigning an at least one part of the at least one interaction to the at least one category. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A computer readable storage medium containing a set of instructions for a general purpose computer, the set of instructions comprising:
-
a criteria definition component for defining an at least one criterion associated with an at least one information item; a category definition component for defining an at least one category associated with an at least one aspect of the organization; an association component for associating the at least one criterion with the at least one category; a criteria checking component for checking according to an at least one information item associated with the at least one interaction whether the at least one criterion is met for the at least one interaction; and a category checking component for determining an at least one score for assigning an at least one part of the at least one interaction to the at least one category.
