University of Wisconsin adds Voicent to its E-Commerce courses

"Voicent's focus on standards-based VoiceXML and Voicent Gateway product offer a unique opportunity for students and faculty to learn and develop new and compelling XML web services. As a member of Voicent's growing developers network, we are confident our "Building E-Commerce Systems with XML & Web Services" course will be enhanced by Voicent technology and add tremendous value to our students' education. In addition, we are very excited to use Voicent's BroadcastByPhone application to connect with alumni and sponsors of our academic program."

Ever since W3C accepted VoiceXML specification, interactive telephony applications have been moving fast toward this open standard. However, since most VoiceXML solutions are built on expensive telecom equipment, developers normally have to login to a vendor's website to develop and test their applications. The cost and inflexibility have greatly limited the potential for this standard. Most solutions are targeting large businesses like banks and airlines. Voicent Gateway can be deployed on a PC with a standard voice modem. It is finally possible to realize the cost savings from VoiceXML for small businesses and organizations. Our developer network members are actively creating innovative telephony applications for this market.
