The author begins by explaining the importance of routing and queueing strategies in the contact center business and then dives into building two new Task Queues: Customer Service and Employee Service. These queues are set up to segment customer and employee traffic, enabling easy reporting and segmentation. Skills-based routing is also implemented to ensure calls are routed to the correct agents based on their skills or attributes.
