A system and a method for servicing user interactions are provided. The method includes: receiving, from each respective user, a respective request for a corresponding interaction; obtaining, for each interaction, request-specific information that relates to the received respective request and user-specific information that relates to the respective user; analyzing the request-specific information to determine at least one corresponding microservice that is usable for handling the interaction; and routing the request-specific information and the user-specific information to a respective destination that relates to the determined microservice. For any particular interaction, several corresponding microservices and several corresponding routes and destinations may be determined, and workload distribution metrics may be used to select optimum routes.

Methods for providing contextual information about communication devices and/or services. Profile information indicating a user's communication devices and/or services is stored. When profile information or a message log is displayed, the user may identify a communication device and/or service. A query inquires whether the user would like contextual information. The contextual information may be obtained from a gateway in a data network or a telecommunications manager in a telecommunication network. The contextual information is displayed. Profile information about a user's communicating partner may be stored. When the user makes an effort to communicate with the partner, a check may be made of the partner's profile information for a preferred communication device and/or service. If the user does not have a communication device and/or service corresponding to that of the communicating partner, a query may inquire whether the user would like contextual information. If so, the contextual information is presented.

A system and a method for providing resiliency in a telephony communication system are provided. The method includes: obtaining resources that are available in a first data center; receiving, from a client, a request for accessing a first resource; transmitting, to the client, a first Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that includes information for facilitating a client access to the first resource in the first data center; when the first resource becomes unavailable in the first data center and available in a second data center, transmitting, to the second data center, a subscribe message for facilitating a client access to the first resource in the second data center; and when the client access to the first resource in the second data center is available, transmitting, to the client, a second URL that includes information for facilitating the client access to the first resource in the second data center.

A system and a method for managing contact center functionality are provided. The method includes: receiving, from a servicing application, a request for a web application that implements a plurality of contact center functions; integrating the web application into the servicing application; and displaying a ribbon that includes information that relates to each of the plurality of contact center functions. The ribbon may be embeddable in a user interface screen of the servicing application.

A system and a method for overcoming a partial failure of an application in a telephony communication system are provided. The method includes: receiving information indicating that a first application has experienced a partial failure; receiving, from each of a plurality of applications, metadata that relates to a corresponding ordered priority of partitions, a corresponding Availability Zone from among a plurality of Availability Zones in which the respective application is located, and a corresponding instance index within the corresponding Availability Zone; sorting the received metadata with respect to the corresponding Availability Zone and with respect to the corresponding instance index; and reassigning, based on a result of the sorting, the first application to an instance index within the Availability Zone in which the first application is located such that a number of the partitions within instance indexes in the corresponding Availability Zone is balanced.

A system and a method for servicing user interactions are provided. The method includes: receiving, from each respective user, a respective request for a corresponding interaction; obtaining, for each interaction, request-specific information that relates to the received respective request and user-specific information that relates to the respective user; analyzing the request-specific information to determine at least one corresponding microservice that is usable for handling the interaction; and routing the request-specific information and the user-specific information to a respective destination that relates to the determined microservice. For any particular interaction, several corresponding microservices and several corresponding routes and destinations may be determined, and workload distribution metrics may be used to select optimum routes.

A system and a method for processing a message on a processing platform, such as a Kafka processing platform, are provided. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of partitions from the messaging platform; designating a first partition from among the plurality of partitions as a sticky partition; generating a plurality of routing keys that are configured to route messages to the sticky partition; using a first routing key from among the plurality of routing keys to identify a first service subscription; subscribing to a second service using the first routing key; and receiving a message transmitted by the second service.

A system and a method for routing a message to an application over a connection oriented session in a Kafka messaging platform environment are provided. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of partitions from the Kafka messaging platform; designating a first partition from among the plurality of partitions as a sticky partition; generating a plurality of routing keys that are configured to route to the sticky partition; receiving a subscription from a service that corresponds to a first application; transmitting, to the first application, a first routing key that identifies the subscription from among the plurality of routing keys; and receiving messages from Kafka services that are routed by the first routing key to the first application. For any particular application or set of applications, a plurality of connection oriented sessions may be used to achieve load balancing and high availability.

Methods and apparatus implementing a telephony terminal for connecting a telephone to a data network. In one implementation, a telephony system includes: a phone connection for connecting to a telephone; a network connection for connecting to a network; and a controller connected to said phone connection and to said network connection; wherein said controller provides a phone service for processing information for said phone connection, said controller provides a network service for processing information for said network connection, and said controller provides a network voice service for converting information to and from a network voice format.

A system and method for assisting with interactions between agents and customers using an artificially intelligent assistant is disclosed. The artificially intelligent assistant monitors interactions between agents and customers and identifies assistive actions to be taken that increase efficiency of the interaction as well as customer satisfaction. The artificially intelligent agent can also identify new communication modes appropriate for assistive actions, allowing agents to seamlessly communicate with customers over a wide range of different communication modes, such as phone calls, texts, emails and other messaging applications.
