Abstract

Multiple vendors often contribute a portion of their hardware and/or software to a customer to enable a particular feature. When issues occur, a contact center for more than one vendor may be required to perform an action in order to identify a resolution to the issue and apply the resolution. By coordinating multiple contact centers with smart contracts via a distributed leger, rules may be developed for the creation of blocks for notifications, escalations, tasks, and other actions or informational notifications to resolve the issue. Additionally, the blockchain may serve as a permanent record provide a history of actions taken, by whom, and when.
