1. A method for handling contacts and agents in a contact center system comprising:
- determining, by at least one computer processor configured to perform contact center operations, a first measure of performance for a first contact-agent pairing method;
determining, by the at least one computer processor, a second measure of performance for a second contact-agent pairing method;
comparing, by the at least one computer processor, the first measure of performance with the second measure of performance; and
outputting, by the at least one computer processor, a measure of relative performance between the first and second contact-agent pairing methods based on the comparing.

Abstract
Techniques for handling contacts and agents in a contact center system are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for handling contacts and agents in a contact center system including comparing a first measure of performance of a first method for pairing the contacts and the agents with a second measure of performance of a second method for pairing the contacts and the agents.

8. A system for handling contacts and agents in a contact center system comprising:
at least one computer processor communicatively coupled to the contact center system and configured to perform contact center operations, wherein the at least one computer processor is configured to; determine a first measure of performance for a first contact-agent pairing method; determine a second measure of performance for a second contact-agent pairing method; compare the first measure of performance with the second measure of performance; and output a measure of relative performance between the first and second contact-agent pairing methods based on the comparing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An article of manufacture for handling contacts and agents in a contact center system comprising:
-
a non-transitory processor readable medium; and instructions stored on the medium; wherein the instructions are configured to be readable from the medium by at least one computer processor communicatively coupled to the contact center system and thereby configured to cause the at least one computer processor to perform contact center operations and operate so as to; determine a first measure of performance for a first contact-agent pairing method; determine a second measure of performance for a second contact-agent pairing method; compare the first measure of performance with the second measure of performance; and output a measure of relative performance between the first and second contact-agent pairing methods based on the comparing. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
