Intermediary device for data message network routing

A method of data message routing in a contact center environment, comprising:

• receiving, by an intermediary device disposed in a data communication path between an electronic communications network and a client computing device, for a first lobby construct, via the electronic communications network, a first data message, the first data message having a characteristic;
• identifying, by the intermediary device, subsequent to the receipt of the first data message, a second lobby construct different from the first lobby construct based on the characteristic of the first data message;
• assigning, by the intermediary device, the first data message from the first lobby construct to the second lobby construct based on the identification;
• receiving, by the intermediary device, via the electronic communications network, a second data message having a characteristic;
• identifying, by the intermediary device, a correlation between the first data message and the second data message based on the characteristic of the first data message and the characteristic of the second data message;
• and
• bypassing, by the intermediary device, the first lobby construct to assign the second data message to the second lobby construct based on the correlation between the second data message and the first data message.
