Abstract

A system and method for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center that includes routing interactions based on adaptable business objectives. A processor detects a pending interaction with a customer. The processor identifies first and second objectives of the contact center in response to detecting the pending interaction, where the first objective is identified as more important to the contact center than the second objective. The processor identifies a first agent for handling the first objective, and determines a likelihood of success of the first agent in achieving the first objective. The processor identifies a second agent for handling the second objective, and determines a likelihood of success of the second agent in achieving the second objective. In the event that the likelihood of success in achieving the second objective by the second agent is higher than the likelihood of success of achieving the first objective by the first agent, the processor transmits instructions to route the pending interaction to the second agent. The processor also prompts the second agent to pursue the second objective.
