Claims (52)

1. A method for intelligent network-based voice and data recording comprising:

initiating recording of a call from a caller to an agent;

storing the recording of the call;

performing analysis on voice and data of the recording; and

notifying a supervisor of the agent a result of the analysis;

wherein performing analysis on the voice and the data of the recording comprises accessing at least one supervisor preference from a preference management system;

accessing a location information from a location server;

analyzing voice and data of the call using the preference and the location information; and

generating a result of the analysis for the supervisor.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating recording of the call comprises:

detecting the call from a switch;

beginning recording of voice and data of the call; and

determining of the call is complete.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

continuing recording of voice and data of the call if the call is not complete.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

stopping recording of voice and data of the call if the call is complete.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein storing the recording of the call comprises:

storing voice and data of the recording in a voice server.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein notifying a supervisor of the agent a result of the analysis comprises:

sending the result of the analysis to a notification platform;

processing the result for the supervisor; and

sending the processed result to the supervisor.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein processing the result for the supervisor comprises:

generating a customer satisfaction survey based on the result of the analysis.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein sending the processed result to the supervisor comprises:

sending the processed result to a data processing system of the supervisor via a voice and data network.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein sending the processed result to the supervisor comprises:

sending the processed result to a telephone of the supervisor via a voice network.

10. A system for intelligent network-based voice and data recording comprising:

a switch communicably coupled to a caller via a voice network;

a voice response unit communicably coupled to the switch;

a voice server communicably coupled to the voice response unit;

a notification platform communicably coupled to the voice response unit and a supervisor via a voice and data network; and

a preference management system communicably coupled to the voice response unit, wherein the preference management system comprises at least one preference;

wherein the voice response unit is operable to perform analysis of the recording based on the at least one preference;

wherein the switch is operable to receive a call from the caller to an agent and send the call to the voice response unit; and

wherein the voice response unit is operable to initiate recording of the call, store the recording in the voice server, perform analysis of voice and data of the recording, and notify the supervisor a result of the analysis.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the voice response unit is further operable to detect the call from the switch, begin recording voice and data of the call, determine if the call is complete, and stop recording voice and data of the call if the call is complete.

12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising a location server communicably coupled to the voice response unit, the location server comprising at least one location information.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the voice response unit is operable to perform analysis of the recording based on the at least one location information.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the voice response unit is operable to send a result of analysis to the notification platform.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the voice response unit is operable to process the result of the analysis for the supervisor and send the processed result to the supervisor.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for:

initiating recording of a call from a caller to an agent;

storing the recording of the call;

performing analysis on voice and data of the recording; and

notifying a supervisor of the agent a result of the analysis;

wherein performing analysis on the voice and the data of the recording comprises accessing at least one supervisor preference from a preference management system;
