Abstract

A system for client interaction application integration, comprising a plurality of enterprise communications systems, each comprising at least a call status system; and a callback cloud accessible coupled to the plurality of enterprise communications systems via a data network; wherein, upon receipt of a request from a consumer user to initiate a callback to the consumer user, the callback cloud performs the steps of: (a) obtaining from at least one of the enterprise communications systems a status of communications resources comprising at least an estimated wait time; (b) sending a notification to the consumer user from whom the request was received advising the consumer user of the estimated wait time for service; (c) providing at least an option to wait for a callback to the consumer user from whom the request was received; (d) receiving a selection from the consumer user from whom the request was received; and (e) directing at least one of the enterprise communications systems to initiate a callback to the consumer user from whom the request was received in response to the selection received from the consumer user; and further wherein at least one of the enterprise communications systems initiates a callback to a consumer user at the direction of the callback cloud.

Claims (12)

1. A system for client interaction computer integration, comprising:

a plurality of enterprise communications systems, each comprising at least a call status system; and

a callback cloud coupled to the plurality of enterprise communications systems via a data network;

wherein, upon receipt of a callback request from a client interaction computer via the data network, the callback cloud performs the steps of:

(a) obtaining from at least one of the enterprise communications systems a status of communications resources comprising at least an estimated wait time;

(b) sending a notification to the client interaction computer from which the request was received advising the consumer user associated to the client interaction computer of the estimated wait time for service;

(c) providing at least an option to wait for a callback to the client interaction computer;

(d) receiving a selection from the client interaction computer;

(d1) receiving preconfigured consumer preferences from the client interaction computer;

(d2) determining a suitable time for a callback based on at least the preconfigured consumer preferences; and

(e) directing the at least one of the enterprise communications systems to initiate the callback to the consumer user associated to the client interaction computer in response to the selection received from the client interaction computer; and

further wherein at least one of the enterprise communications systems initiates a callback to a consumer user associated to the client interaction computer at the direction of the callback cloud.
