First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- stacking a first strategy with a second strategy to create a stacked strategy, wherein the first strategy corresponds to a first set of executable tasks performable by a work assignment engine of a contact center and the second strategy corresponds to a second set of executable tasks performable by the work assignment engine; and
executing the stacked strategy with the work assignment engine according to an order in which the first strategy is stacked with the second strategy.

Abstract
A contact center is provided with the ability to easily modify, change, append, delete, or create new strategies. Contact center strategies are provided with the ability to be stacked on one another, thereby creating a combination strategy. The combination strategy may hierarchically represent and perform the individual strategies that constitute the combination strategy. Moreover, individual strategies can be removed, added, or replaced with other individual strategies, thereby providing a simple and efficient way for changing the behavior of the combination strategy.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that cause a computing system to execute a method, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions configured to stack a first strategy with a second strategy to create a stacked strategy, wherein the first strategy corresponds to a first set of executable tasks performable by a work assignment engine of a contact center and the second strategy corresponds to a second set of executable tasks performable by the work assignment engine; and instructions configured to execute the stacked strategy with the work assignment engine according to an order in which the first strategy is stacked with the second strategy. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A contact center, comprising:
a work assignment engine configured to execute a stacked strategy that comprises a plurality of individual strategies, each of the individual strategies comprising discrete tasks and one or more rules defining conditions for performing the discrete tasks, wherein the work assignment engine executes the stacked strategy in accordance with an order in which individual strategies are stacked such that discrete tasks from a first individual strategy are performed before discrete tasks from a second individual strategy. - View Dependent Claims (20)
