Abstract
A system and method for providing redundant customer communications delivery using hybrid delivery channels is provided. In one configuration, the system utilizes an initial delivery channel to send a batch of customer communications and later utilizes a different, delayed backup delivery channel to resend only a subset of those communications as deemed necessary.
Claims20
A system for providing selective redundant customer communications using a first communications channel and a second communications channel comprising:
- a customer communications processing subsystem configured to create a first set of documents including a first subset directed to a first communications channel and a second subset directed to a second communications channel;
- a subsystem for obtaining status data related to at least the second subset;
- and
- a subsystem for creating a redundant subset of the second subset of customer communications based upon the status data.
