Value add of using CB: Faster user authentication of genuine users

Higher detection rate of break-in attempts

Ability to not only authenticate the user (binary decision) but also to determine a authorization level

The New WVS 5.1 Message

WVS Enhances IBM’s speech solutions by providing:

Administrative ease of use Standards-based architecture for speech WebSphere quality Improved integration and flexibility for existing customer

environments Integration with other IVR platforms to better integrate into existing

customer environments

Promoting: WebSphere Application Server as the focus of IBM’s speech

architectures WebSphere as the preferred application development and

deployment environment for voice A single infrastructure for voice and data applications

Page 33: IBM Software 1 Backup Slides  Omitted Slides  IBM Transformation Case Study  WVS 5.1 Presentation

IBM Software

33

Why is WVS 5.1 important?

Provides IBM’s strength in complex systems management to speech technology

Brings a new focus to the sales message that niche competitors ignore or minimize

Integrates speech technology into the IBM on demand strategy

Integrates Speech resources into the IT infrastructure

Page 34: IBM Software 1 Backup Slides  Omitted Slides  IBM Transformation Case Study  WVS 5.1 Presentation

34

Where does WVS 5.1 fit in a total speech solution?

Speech Solution = hardware + software + services

Services drag product (esp. SUI design process and expertise)

WVS 5.1 offers capabilities that positively impact 2 phases in a speech project:

Development – Voice Toolkit speeds development time, lowers costs of services

Deployment – advanced WVS 5.1 administrative abilities keeps apps running, reduces system down time, and prevents customer dissatisfaction

Rapid, High-Quality Application Development

Application development consists of: Creating speech user interface and grammars

Coding

Recording audio files (voice talent) and preparing for maximum quality and timing

Important to IBM customers because speech projects are: Expensive

Time consuming

Complex

Requires deep skills in several areas

Directly impacts customer satisfaction, loyalty, and revenue (ROI)

WVS 5.1 supports application development through the Voice Toolkit and enhancements to ASR and TTS

Administrative Ease of Use

Speech is typically used for customer self-service

Applications unavailable = loss of customer = loss of revenue

Administration of complex systems includes: Installation/configuration

Monitoring

Problem determination

Troubleshooting

WVS was designed with system administration in mind

Page 50: IBM Software 1 Backup Slides  Omitted Slides  IBM Transformation Case Study  WVS 5.1 Presentation

IBM Software

50

Why is Ease of Use important?

Minimal time and skill required to get speech system up and running (installation, configuration)

Administrators need to quickly identify and resolve system problems

Decreases down time if system or application problem occurs

Prevents end user from encountering unavailable or atypical self-service interaction

Prevents “shopping” by end user – improves customer satisfaction and loyalty

Page 51: IBM Software 1 Backup Slides  Omitted Slides  IBM Transformation Case Study  WVS 5.1 Presentation

IBM Software

51

Rapid Problem Determination

Quickly target and resolve problems using the WVS Administrative Console

WebSphere centralized repository for log and trace messages

Tivoli Performance Viewer for real-time analysis and system monitoring

Dynamic trace enablement and use of Log Analyzer tool

One step gathering of critical support information using WebSphere Collector Tool

On Demand Speech Technology

“On Demand” speech technology is crucial in today’s fast pace business environment

Lack of system availability = loss of end user (customer) = loss of revenue

WVS provides capabilities for continuous access to speech applications (self-service)

WebSphere Network Dispatcher is primary means of delivering on demand
