• Project backlog?– can’t respond quick enough to business needs
• Current testing is time consuming and expensive
Your options today
• Manual calling….– Time consuming– Incomplete– Ineffective
Nearly every self service application in use today by the banking, finance, service, and insurance industries is only 20% tested!
What does it cost you?
• Time and money (period)
In today’s cost control climate, most companies can’t afford not to be looking at process improvement opportunities.
How do you fix it?
• Automation!– Integrated and automated testing throughout all phases

Since the inception of VoiceXML technology there has never been a way to automate complete IVR testing, until now.
The Voiyager Solution
What it does• Entire lifecycle solution; integration through all
phases• Full application exercising• Most thorough testing solution available• Immediate problem\risk identification• Early bug detection and resolution• More efficient problem communication • Improved regression testing process• Integrated business logic review• System monitoring and load testing
Higher quality applications, the first time
What does this mean?
• Improved lifecycles– Initial statistics showing 30-50% savings in the
development phase– Quality Assurance phases reduced 50%– Improved team communications– Faster bug identification, reproduction, and
resolution• Better Quality Applications
– Reduced time to project closure– More agile and responsive to your business needs– Higher transaction success rates– Improved customer service at the caller level
Screen Shots
Exploration Issues List
Case Study
Reduced time to market• Automated test production and execution – test plan took
2 months• Current 72 days QA testing is achieved by Voiyager
in 1 day• Pre production testing took 6 months
Lower VXML application life cycle costs• Automated test production and execution• Less miscommunication - reproducible results• No false positives – results are automatically recorded
Higher quality first time every time• Thorough testing - more test scenarios generated than
existing methods• Test often – application tests performed only once
Case Study
• Voiyager results• 600 calls placed in 1 hour• Best case this would currently take 210 hours
(30 days) for 1 tester• This is only a quarter of the application!!!
• 26 Known Application Defects• Voiyager’s State Validator component can find
them all• 26 @ $15 - $20K per production defect is $390K
to $520K• 50+ Potential New Defects Discovered
• At $15 - $20K per production defect this is $750K to $1M cost to the business
This changes everything!

Dialogic SCP platform options
– Envox / SCP was tightly written around the traditional Dialogic
products
– An API for 3rd party vendors was introduced, however not without
issues
– Glue / additional middleware
– Who supports it?
– Impossible to test every combo
– We still support it but be aware
– Focus will be on traditional Dialogic product set
Company Confidential • © Copyright 2010 Dialogic Corporation. All rights reserved.SLIDE 72
Traditional cards were DSP based– Perceived benefits:
• Determinism• Less overhead on CPU
– Disadvantages• Sometimes you pay for what you don’t need• Field upgrades – you have to be there• Cost – they are expensive to make!!• Dialogic time to market
Answer to address disadvantages.– Replace costly DSP’s with server CPU and introduce a software license based model –
HMP is born.
Traditional DSP based boards
Company Confidential • © Copyright 2010 Dialogic Corporation. All rights reserved.SLIDE 73
Analogue cards– 4, 8 (new) and 12 port
• Some have CT Bus some don’t– Universal PCI and PCI express support (exception of 8 port)
BRI– No traditional Dialogic cards available– SCP can be supported via Diva range (single and Quad BRI)– Will require additional driver
PRI (E1 / T1)– All cards are software selectable between E1 and T1– 1E1 / 2E1 JCT cards (voice, speech and softfax)– DMV range 1E1, 2E1 / 4E1 (multifunction cards adding conferencing, fax)

Only license and pay for what you need It will save you money In an IP only scenario its just a license key (better lead times) Upgrades can be done remotely when no boards are involved TDM and IP can coexist in the same server
– Applies to HMP thin blades only – JCT / DMV are not compatible Leave the door open to add additional features (eg video)

CTI Common Interface
Copyright© 2010 Syntellect Inc. All Rights Reserved
Common Interface
• Currently, CT Connect’s APIs offer common function calls– But not a common interface in respect to responses from the switch– Switch events are provided as-is to the API
• Differences in the switches are not abstracted in the middleware layer• Requires specific switch knowhow to build CTI apps• System integrators need every switch in their lab for testing purposes
• This enables greatest possible openness– Any CTI application can be built using CT Connect– Most applications do not require this unrestricted capability
• A true Common Interface should simplify CTI development– Switch should be transparent from CTI application– Middleware should abstract the application from the hardware layer
=> CT Connect’s Common Interface
134
Copyright© 2010 Syntellect Inc. All Rights Reserved
Common Interface
• The Common Interface will provide a set of common functionality AND events– Across a wide variety of supported switches
• All switch specifics will be hidden from the developer– “Develop once, deploy anywhere”
• The Common Interface will provide fail-over capabilities– In the current model, the application has to provide fail-
over capabilities
135
Copyright© 2010 Syntellect Inc. All Rights Reserved
Common Interface
• First internal alpha version will be available in July– Full functionality, implemented for first switch
• Avaya ACM• CSTA switch simulator
– Interface and server structure defined (but open for required changes)
– Alpha documentation of interface will be available
– Looking for System Integrators and Partners to review this version• Review Interface, Test interface• Early feedback on functionality• If you are interested, please contact your Account Manager!
• Beta Version planned for beginning 2011
