System and method for customer experience management
First Claim
1. A method for managing an interaction for a contact center, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, an intent for an interaction between a customer and the contact center, wherein the intent is derived by the processor based on data accumulated on the customer;
identifying, by the processor, a contact center business goal related to the intent;
determining, by the processor, a current contact center performance in achieving the contact center business goal and identifying a performance gap relative to the business goal based on the determination;
determining, by the processor, performance of contact center targets when handling the intent;
identifying, by the processor, one or more of the contact center targets based on the determined performance of the contact center targets and the identified performance gap relative to the business goal;
determining, by the processor, availability of a particular target selected from the identified one or more of the contact center targets for addressing the intent during the interaction;
selecting, by the processor, the particular target for addressing the intent during the interaction; and
delivering, by an electronic switch coupled to the processor, the interaction to the particular target.

Abstract
A system and method for managing a customer'"'"'s experience with a contact center that takes available data about the customer, the agents of the contact center, and the organization represented by the contact center, for identifying opportunities for additional conversations/interactions with the customer and engaging in those additional conversations/interactions at a time and with a resource predicted to maximize outcomes for the organization. A processor is configured to identify express and/or implied intents for an interaction between the customer and the contact center. A business goal related to the express and/or implied intents is also identified for determining a current performance of the contact center and for identifying any performance gaps. Contact center targets are identified based on their performance in handling the express and/or implied intents, and the identified performance gaps. An available one of the identified targets is then selected for routing the interaction to the target.

5. A method for managing an interaction for a contact center, the method comprising:
-
identifying, by a processor, first and second type of intents for an interaction between a customer and the contact center, wherein the first type of intent is provided by the customer upon initiating the interaction with the contact center, and the second type of intent is derived by the processor based on data accumulated on the customer; identifying, by the processor, first and second contact center business goals related to respectively the first and second types of intents; determining, by the processor, current contact center performance in achieving the first and second contact center business goals, and identifying first and second performance gaps relative to the first and second contact center business goals based on the determination; determining, by the processor, performance of a plurality of first contact center targets and performance of a plurality of second contact center targets when handling respectively the first and second types of intents; identifying, by the processor, one or more of the plurality of first contact center targets based on the determined performance of the plurality of first contact center targets and the identified first performance gap relative to the first contact center business goal; identifying, by the processor, one or more of the plurality of second contact center targets based on the determined performance of the plurality of second contact center targets and the identified second performance gap relative to the second contact center business goal; determining, by the processor, availability of a particular target selected from the identified one or more of the first and second contact center targets; delivering, by an electronic switch coupled to the processor, the interaction to the particular target in response to determining that the particular target is available; and prompting, by the processor, the particular target to address both the first and second types of intents during the interaction. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for managing an interaction for a contact center, the method comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; identify first and second type of intents for an interaction between a customer and the contact center, wherein the first type of intent is provided by the customer upon initiating the interaction with the contact center, and the second type of intent is derived by the processor based on data accumulated on the customer; identify first and second contact center business goals related to respectively the first and second types of intents; determine current contact center performance in achieving the first and second contact center business goals, and identify first and second performance gaps relative to the first and second contact center business goals based on the determination; determine performance of a plurality of first contact center targets and performance a plurality of second contact center targets when handling respectively the first and second types of intents; identify one or more of the plurality of first contact center targets based on the determined performance of the plurality of first contact center targets and the identified first performance gap relative to the first contact center business goal; identify one or more of the plurality of second contact center targets based on the determined performance of the plurality of second contact center targets and the identified second performance gap relative to the second contact center business goal; determine availability of a particular target selected from the identified one or more of the first and second contact center targets; and prompt the particular target to address both the first and second types of intents during the interaction; and an electronic switch coupled to the processor, the electronic switch being configured to deliver the interaction to the particular target. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A system for managing an interaction for a contact center, the system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; identify an intent for an interaction between a customer and the contact center, wherein the intent is derived by the processor based on data accumulated on the customer; identify a contact center business goal related to the intent; determine a current contact center performance in achieving the contact center business goal and identify a performance gap relative to the business goal based on the determination; determine performance of contact center targets when handling the intent; identify one or more of the contact center targets based on the determined performance of the contact center targets and the identified performance gap relative to the business goal; determine availability of a particular target selected from the identified one or more of the contact center targets for addressing the intent during the interaction; and select the particular target for addressing the intent during the interaction; and an electronic switch coupled to the processor, wherein the electronic switch is configured to deliver the interaction to the particular target. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
