System and method for performance-based routing of interactions in a contact center
First Claim
1. A method for performance-based routing of interactions in a contact center comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, a topic associated with an interaction to be routed;
identifying, by the processor, one or more agents having experience handling the topic based on a skill level of the one or more agents corresponding to the topic;
determining, by the processor, a proficiency level of the identified agents in handling the topic;
adjusting, by the processor, the skill level of the identified agents corresponding to the topic according to changes in the proficiency level of the identified agents in handling the topic;
after adjusting the skill level, selecting, by the processor, one of the identified agents having at least a minimum level of proficiency in handling the topic; and
routing, by a switch, the interaction to a device associated with the one of the identified agents.

Abstract
A system and method for performance-based routing of interactions in a contact center. A routing server receives information on an interaction to be routed, and identifies a call reason for the interaction. The identification of the call reason may be based, for example, speech analytics. The routing server identifies one or more agents having experience in handling the topic. The routing server further determines a proficiency level of the identified agents in handling the topic, and selects one of the identified agents having at least a minimum level of proficiency. The routing server transmits a message for routing the interaction to the selected agent.

10. A system for performance-based routing of interactions in a contact center comprising:
-
a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; identify information on an interaction to be routed; identify a topic associated with the interaction; identify one or more agents having experience handling the topic based on a skill level of the one or more agents corresponding to the topic; determine a proficiency level of the identified agents in handling the topic; adjust the skill level of the identified agents corresponding to the topic according to changes in the proficiency level of the identified agents in handling the topic; after adjusting the skill level, select one of the identified agents having at least a minimum level of proficiency in handling the topic; and a switch coupled to the processor and configured to route the interaction to a device associated with the one of the identified agents. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
