A method and system for automatically updating and synchronizing contact center agent skill data maintained in a central agent skill database with a routing system based upon skill-changing events triggered in skill-impacting systems. Contact center agent skills may be maintained in a skill database for a set of agents. A skill-impacting system (such as an education system, a satisfaction system or a metrics system) may send skill/capability data for an agent. The agent's profile in the skill database may be updated based on the received skill data. Either immediately, when triggered by an event, or at a predetermined interval, a routing system's routing logic may be synchronized with the new data in the agent's profile. When the contact center receives a contact (such as a phone call, an email, a web chat, an instant message, or a fax) from a customer, processing logic in the routing system may select a best-fit agent based on availability and skill data from the agent profiles.

An automatic video quality (AVQ) metric system for evaluating the quality of processed video and deriving an estimate of a subjectively determined function called Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). The AVQ system has a blockiness metric, a streakiness metric, and a blurriness metric. The blockiness metric can be used to measure compression artifacts in processed video. The streakiness metric can be used to measure network artifacts in the processed video. The blurriness metric can measure the degradation (i.e., blurriness) of the images in the processed video to detect compression artifacts.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are for generating service order count metrics. A selected subset of all customer order information is extracted from a database table and stored in a summary table and detail table. The information, including text strings associated with communication device identifiers, is extracted for a selected period of time, linked together by order number, and stored in a completions table within a local database. The completions table is searched in cycles according to different search criteria of decreasing order of reliability in order to reconcile the order information in the completions table with the completed order count from the summary table. Once the orders in the completions table are accurate, logic is employed to count the number of communication device identifiers from the text strings corresponding to each order number.
