Analog line support enables integration with "plain old" phone lines and non-digital PBX lines. PBX integration enables PBX specific features for call transfers, voicemail integration, and more. VoiceXML is the W3C standard for voice-driven IVR, including ASR, TTS, prompt playback, and recording. SRGS is the W3C standard for voice recognition grammar definition. Most VoiceXML Vendors Support SRGS. SSML is the W3C standard for text-to-speech synthesis definition and guidance. Voxeo's VoiceCenter platform features full support for the SSML standard, giving you extensive control over speech synthesis. VoiceXML 2.1 adds support for new, valuable features including improved flow control and built-in data interfaces. CCXML is the W3C standard for telephony call control. It includes call routing, conferencing, dialing, and more. W3C IVR standards include VoiceXML, CCXML, SRGS, and SSML. Many vendors support only VoiceXML and SRGS. ENUM call routing uses standards-based DNS technologies to implement a scalable and reliable call routing directory solution. CallXML is a Voxeo-designed language that is much easier to develop applications in than VoiceXML and CCXML. Many tasks, including voice user interface tuning and third-party verification of telephone sales transactions require the ability to record both sides of a call. Most VoiceXML vendors do not offer this capability. Most VoiceXML platforms can only bridge or connect two parties. The Voxeo VoiceCenter platform can connect 2 to 200 parties in a single session. Most VoiceXML platforms have no - or very limited - Voice over IP support. The Voxeo VoiceCenter Platform is a full-featured SIP solution, and includes its own SIP Softswitch/proxy server, media server, call control server, and more. Most VoiceXML platforms support only English, or only one language at a time. The VoiceCenter platform features dynamic support for English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian speech recognition and synthesis. Most VoiceXML platforms have little if any CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) support. CTI is required for most call center IVR deployments. Voxeo offers CTI solutions for Cisco ICM, Genesys T-Server, and Nortel and Avaya call center platforms. Additional CTI interfaces can be built quickly via Voxeo's CCXML based CTI-plug-in interface. The VoiceCenter platform includes intelligent call analysis to determine if outbound calls are answered by people, answering machines, voicemail systems, or network error messages. This capability is vital when using IVR for outbound notification, collections, and campaign calls. VoiceCenter supports the standards SYSLOG logging protocol so you can easily aggregate and analyze vital call logging details. The VoiceCenter platform has proven scalability from as few as 1 to as many as 5,000 ports. Most vendors have not deployed VoiceXML IVR systems larger than 200 ports. Voxeo uniquely offers the VoiceCenter platform as either a premise solution you can buy outright, or hosted service you can use by the minute. Simply put, Voxeo is the industry leader in proactive and reactive support services. We offer 24 x 7 support with fully trained, VoiceXML certified technicians and IVR developers. No matter when a problem occurs, our top-notch staff is available to help you.

The Voxeo VoiceCenter Fusion Server family is an open software and standards-based solution that ships pre-loaded on a standard Wintel server. By combining previously separate platforms into one, VoiceCenter Fusion Servers can cut both acquisition and long-term ownership costs in half. VoiceCenter Fusion Servers offer several additional advantages:
More Valuable

More Usable
Easy to use audio prompt playback, audio recording, touch-tone interaction, voice recognition, and text to speech capabilities deliver usability your customers will love... and our open-software architecture makes it easy for you to address future requirements with technology upgrades.

More Versatile
Flexible call control delivers inbound call handling, outbound call delivery, intelligent call routing, comprehensive call conferencing, and call center integration features that leave other solutions miles behind. Plus, Voxeo VoiceCenter supports the ability to digitally record all or a portion of all calls for third party verification (TPV) of FTC telesales requirements. Simply put, no one gives you more control over your calls than Voxeo.

More Approachable
For added simplicity, VoiceCenter Fusion Servers include full support for CallXML 2.0. CallXML delivers all of the features of VoiceXML and CCXML in an easy-yet-flexible language telephony and web delivers alike can learn in under a day. Best yet, CallXML applications are even easier to maintain and enhance over time.

More Reliable
Redundant architecture and the maturity of having answered and placed hundreds of millions of calls removes all single points of failure and ensures your application will get the call every time.

More Scalable
Distributed architecture - originally designed for large scale IVR outsourcing - delivers proven scalability from tens to thousands of ports.

More Standards
The present and future direction of the IVR industry is defined by a suite of IVR/Voice standards from the W3C, the same organization that created the highly successful standards that power the web. Voxeo's VoiceCenter IVR platform is the first and only platform to support the entire suite of W3C Voice/IVR standards: VoiceXML for IVR control, CCXML for call control, SRGS for speech recognition control, and SSML for text to speech control. The VoiceCenter platform supports over 15 other IT standards including XML/XPath and SOAP for back-office integration, SYSLOG for logging, ENUM/DNS for call routing, and SIP for both PSTN/PBX and VOIP telephony integration.

The Net Result
The flexibility to handle applications of all sizes and scopes.
