However, such systems are biased towards the agent's preference and do not take into account the relative abilities of the agents, nor the individual characteristics of the caller and the agent itself

Abstract

Systems and processes are disclosed for routing callers to agents in a contact center, along with an intelligent routing system. An exemplary process includes combining multiple output variables of a pattern matching algorithm (for matching callers and agents) into a single metric for use in the routing system. The pattern matching algorithm may include a neural network architecture, where the exemplary method combines output variables from multiple neural networks. The method may include determining a Z- score of the variable outputs and determining a linear combination of the determined Z- scores for a desired output. Callers may be routed to agents via the pattern matching algorithm to maximize the output value or score of the linear combination. Another process includes routing a caller, if agents are available, to an agent based on a pattern matching algorithm (which may include performance based matching, pattern matching based on agent and caller data, computer models for predicting outcomes of agent-caller pairs, and so on), and if no agents are available for the incoming caller, the method includes holding the caller in a shadow queue, e.g., a set of callers. When an agent becomes available the method includes scanning all of the callers in the shadow queue and matching the agent to the best matching caller within shadow queue.
