Email response management systems (ERMSs) have previously been developed
for use with contact centers where email queries are received from
customers. These ERMSs have contained pre-configured information suitable
for incorporating into email responses. A major problem with this
approach is that a large amount of work is required to pre-configure the
information and to add that to the ERMS. A method and system are provided
for enabling existing web-based information to be used to formulate such
responses, not just for email but also for other media such as text chat,
SMS, video, and more. The existing web-based information does not need to
be altered or dedicated for a particular response management system and
contact centre. Rather it can be pre-existing information used for other
purposes.
