Voxeo Now Largest VoiceXML IVR Hosting Provider In Europe

European subsidiary delivers 5,000 concurrent call capacity.

Birmingham, UK and Orlando, FL (PRWEB) September 26, 2007 -- Today at Call Centre Expo in Birmingham, Voxeo announced it has expanded its European VoiceXML Interactive Voice Response (IVR) hosting capacity to support over 5,000 concurrent calls, or ports, making Voxeo the largest provider of standards-based IVR in Europe. The achievement, confirmed by European market research analysts, is driven by rapid adoption of Voxeo's Evolution IVR hosting service in key markets, including the U.K., France, Germany, Spain and Italy.

Voxeo is applying its years of experience running over 50,000 applications for thousands of companies to help firms across Europe as they transition to open standards telephony. In the U.S. the battle has already been won. The industry will look back on 2007 as the year Europe embraced open standards for voice applications.

Both European and North American companies use Voxeo's hosted European VoiceXML platform to run telephony applications in a wide range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, interactive notifications, telecoms and transportation. Voxeo's Evolution service includes speech recognition and synthesis capabilities in every major European language and local phone number availability for every European country. Voxeo delivers these services from its highly redundant and reliable hosting facility in Slough, U.K., with fail-over capabilities delivered by Voxeo's three North American hosting sites. The company is in the process of deploying a second hosting facility in continental Europe.

"Europe's adoption of open standards telephony and speech is taking off as enterprises replace outmoded, proprietary IVR systems with solutions built on VoiceXML, CCXML and SIP VoIP," said Stephen Neish, Managing Director of Voxeo Europe.
