<p>A method and system for handling, that is routing and tracking, a plurality of incoming media streams of varying types - such as faxes, e-mail, Voice over IP, and others - is disclosed. The system analyzes the incoming media's type, header information and content and, in conjunction with other databases available within an enterprise, such as a human resources or customer information management databases, determines a plurality of suitable enterprise resources that may be able to adequately respond to said incoming media stream. The system may, again in conjunction with the enterprise databases, determine the availability of an identified enterprise resource and, if available, routes said incoming media stream to said identified and available resource. If the identified resource is unavailable, alternate resources are selected from said plurality of identified resources for possible routing of the incoming media stream. The system also tracks the disposition of the media stream by the identified and available resource, and if said disposition of said media stream does not occur within a predetermined time, the system increases the priority of said media stream and re-routes the media stream within the enterprise. The system also maintains a database of statistics relating to the receipt and disposition of incoming media streams. <IMAGE></p> |
