Customer care support system with call avoidance processing

1. A computer-implemented method for managing customer activity in a call center, the method comprising:

monitoring, by a computer system, event data;

filtering, by the computer system, the event data into an event data set associated with a single specific customer;

creating, by the computer system, a context for the single specific customer based on the event data set;

performing, by the computer system, a probabilistic assessment of an occurrence related to the single specific customer, based on the context, wherein the probabilistic assessment of the occurrence is representative of a likelihood that the single specific customer will initiate contact with the call center;

determining, by the computer system, an action based on the probabilistic assessment,

wherein the action comprises one of: a phone call to the single specific customer, an electronic communication to the single specific customer, a change to a customer account, and an electronic communication to an operational system; and

initiating, by the computer system, the action.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising translating the action into an industry standard format.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the context includes chronological information, customer preferences, and a possible motivation for calling.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the event data represents changes in customer operational systems and comprises one of: a file, an asynchronous message, a transaction log, a database extract, and a synchronous message.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the event data comprises one of: customer information, bill payment information, and historical information.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the event data, triggering the filtering by the computer system of the event data into the event data set associated with the single specific customer.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the computer system includes a probabilistic assessment package.

8. A system for managing customer activity in a call center, the system comprising:

an event handler configured to monitor event data;

a mediator configured to filter the event data into an event data set associated with a single specific customer;

a context component configured to create a context for the single specific customer based on the event data set;

a decision engine configured to:

perform a probabilistic assessment of an occurrence related to the single specific customer, based on the context, wherein the probabilistic assessment of the occurrence is representative of a likelihood that the single specific customer will initiate contact with the call center, and

determine an action based on the assessment,

wherein the action comprises one of: a phone call to the single specific customer, an electronic communication to the single specific customer, a change to a customer account, and an electronic communication to an operational system; and

an action processor configured to initiate the action.

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a translation component configured to translate the action into an industry standard format.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the context includes chronological information, customer preferences, and a possible motivation for calling.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the event data represents changes in customer operational systems and comprises one of: a file, an asynchronous message, a transaction log, a database extract, and a synchronous message.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the event data comprises one of: customer information, bill payment information, and historical information.

13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

a triggering component configured to trigger, based on the event data, the filtering component to filter the event data.

14. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a probabilistic assessment package.

15. A computer-implemented method for preventing customers from contacting a call center, the method comprising:

monitoring, by a computer system, event data;

filtering, by the computer system, the event data into an event data set associated with a single specific customer;

creating, by the computer system, a context for the single specific customer based on the data set;

performing, by the computer system, a probabilistic assessment of the likelihood that the single specific customer will initiate a call to the call center, based on the context, wherein the probabilistic assessment of the occurrence is representative of a likelihood that the single specific customer will initiate contact with the call center;

determining, by the computer system, a preemptive action intended to prevent the single specific customer from initiating the call, based on the probabilistic assessment,

wherein the action comprises one of: a phone call to the single specific customer, an electronic communication to the single specific customer, a change to a customer account, and an electronic communication to an operational system; and

initiating, by the computer system, the preemptive action.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the context includes chronological information, customer preferences, and a possible motivation for calling.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the event data represents changes in the customer operational systems and comprises one of: a file, an asynchronous message, a transaction log, a database extract, and a synchronous message.
