a forecasting component to determine an optimum level of service;

a scheduling component to schedule a staffing level to achieve the forecasted optimum level of service,

wherein it is determined, from the scheduled staffing, at least one area for improvement, and wherein the scheduling is readjusted according to the at least one area for improvement.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a criteria determining component configured to determine recognition criteria associated with the audio data, the recognition criteria being configured to indicate whether to perform second tier speech to text analytics on the received audio.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the performance determining component is further configured to determine, from the recognition criteria, whether to perform second tier speech to text analytics on the received audio.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein performing speech to text analytics in a first manner includes performing a speech to text conversion of the audio data and performing speech to text analytics in a second manner includes analyzing the converted audio data.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein performing a speech to text conversion of the audio data includes utilizing at least one of the following: a phonetic speech to text conversion component and a Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) speech to text conversion component.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein analyzing the converted audio data includes at least one of the following: identifying a speaker, verifying a speaker, detecting speaker emotion, and detecting speaker confidence.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the performance determining component is further configured to receive indication from an analyst to perform second tier speech to text analytics.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

performing first tier speech to text analytics in a first manner includes performing a first speech to text conversion of the received audio data; and

performing first tier speech to text analytics in a second manner includes performing a second speech to text conversion of the received audio data, the second speech to text conversion of the received audio data being performed at a higher accuracy threshold than the first speech to text conversion.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing containing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device perform a method for multi-pass analytics, comprising:

monitoring a communication for audio data:

receiving audio data associated with the communication;

performing first tier speech to text analytics on the received audio data in a first manner;

determining whether to perform second tier speech to text analytics;

in response to determining, performing second tier speech to text analytics on the received audio data in a second manner;

forecasting an optimum level of service;

scheduling a staffing level to achieve the forecasted optimum level of service;

determining, from the scheduled staffing, at least one area for improvement; and

readjusting scheduling according to the at least one area for improvement.

20.
