3 KEY BENEFITS OF CXP Design Once, Deploy Anywhere Architecture CXP s design once, deploy anywhere architecture uniquely enables one application to be deployed across multiple customer contact channels. The channels share underlying dialog flow, business logic and back-end access while maintaining their own unique advantages and characteristics. Supported channels include IVR, text (IM, SMS, USSD), mobile web, video, social networks like Twitter and Smartphone applications. The solution eliminates the need for redundant development teams, speeds application creation and simplifies ongoing maintenance, while providing a consolidated view of service usage and the customer experience across the different channels. Companies can now accommodate customers evolving communication preferences and simultaneously lower support costs with a Unified Self-Service solution and inexpensive text-based communications. Multiply the ROI of your IVR solution by extending self-service applications to SMS, IM, the mobile web, Smartphone apps and even social networking sites like Twitter. Mobile Web Applications The latest release of Voxeo CXP further advances the platform s mobile channel interface, which is based on jquery Mobile and HTML5. It includes a framework of drag and drop components that make it easier and faster to build mobile applications that work across all popular mobile devices. Group Level and 1:1 Personalization for a Better Customer Experience Powered by built-in integration to popular CRM systems, CXP enables dynamic self-service across multiple channels and languages based on customer types, values, preferences, transaction histories and more. Traditionally it s been difficult for application developers to deploy personalization because it requires so many different prompts and complex dialog logic. With its Layer concept, CXP makes it easier to create and update personalized dialogs, resulting in streamlined customer interactions, higher self-service adoption rates and improved customer loyalty. The feature also supports targeted, revenue-generating offers and proactive outbound customer support. CXP integrates out-of-the-box with IBM Cognos, SAP BusinessObjects and MicroStrategy to ensure your customer selfservice and business intelligence work together.

4 Integrated, Actionable Analytics for Continual Improvement CXP supports sophisticated development, deployment, maintenance and refinement of contact center applications in large distributed and multi-tenant environments. CXP includes session partitioning to enable native support for Service Level Agreements (SLAs), making it the ideal foundation for managed service offerings. CXP provides real-time analysis and reporting of caller behavior, application performance and transaction completion to help improve ROI and eliminate caller frustrations. With detailed and actionable analytics from CXP, you can make informed business decisions based on over 60 pre-built reports in the areas of Administration and Maintenance, Application Development and Tuning, and Business and Caller Analysis. Avoiding the cost of third-party, standalone analytics can result in savings of $200,000 to millions depending on the size of the deployment. Multi-tenant, Carrier-Grade Solution With CXP Server, you can deploy multiple tenants and users simultaneously on a single infrastructure, ensuring efficient sharing of resources. Securely separate project, object, service, resource and user management among tenants and leverage collaborative development among corporate teams. User roles support the different functions within projects and provide appropriate access rights to efficiently manage large corporate and managed service environments. Fast SOA-based Integrations The CXP web services interface and connector framework provides easy integration with any backend system or legacy application for existing and future investment protection. Additionally, integrations can be reused across multiple customer interaction channels. Unlocked for Investment Protection All Voxeo products and services are built entirely on open standards for true portability. Additionally, CXP applications are 100% automatically portable across more than 30 leading standards-based IVR platforms around the world. In addition to working with Voxeo s own premise and cloud hosting, CXP supports platforms such as Aspect, Avaya, Cisco, Genesys, West, Intervoice, Nortel and Nuance. This flexibility enables you to use multiple IVR platform vendors or change VoiceXML platform versions or vendors at any time without rewriting a single line of code. Choosing a platform that locks you in with design tools means that you no longer have the flexibility to get competitive bids for the platform and for future work. Any rewrites will likely cost nearly 100% of the initial development. At Voxeo, we choose to keep our customers by delivering a better product and better support never by locking them in. CXP Deployment Options Deploy CXP on your premise, access it on demand in the Voxeo Cloud, or deploy a hybrid combination of the two. CXP Hosting offers instant start up, no upfront investment and is backed by the power of Voxeo s multi-site, global hosting platform the largest standards-based VoiceXML hosting platform in the world. The result is proven performance, scalability and the industry s first 100% uptime guarantee. Learn more about CXP Hosting at

6 CXP Developer Application Development and Monitoring CXP Developer is the true multi-channel graphical development environment for creating, testing, deploying and monitoring multi-channel self-service applications. CXP uses an object-oriented approach for application development, which supports full reuse of individual objects (dialog steps) and modules, as well as entire applications. When working on applications, developers have the ability to automatically narrow their view to a specific channel and the functionality required specifically for the channel selected. For example, IVR development centers around voice prompts and grammars, while mobile web development focuses on web forms, text and image content, and HTML templates. CXP Developer is a rich client based on the leading open-source IDE. It provides a network mode that enables team collaboration with all users working in one central repository and a standalone mode for offline development and testing. A special full-featured packaging of CXP Developer is offered free at In support of Voxeo s open tools strategy, developers can alternatively choose to use any third-party integrated development environment (IDE) with CXP XDK, the XML-based development interface to CXP Server. CXP Developer also includes a Control Center that monitors CXP Server and enables application updates, rollbacks and application call tracing. One-click hot redeployments allow you to roll out application updates across an entire server farm with no service downtime or manual distribution of files. Hot restore reverts an application back to a safe state, instantly eliminating the deployment of broken or incomplete applications. Key Features and Benefits Create mobile web applications for all supported platforms including ios, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Symbian, and others. Simplified service creation for technical and non-technical users Easy-to-use object library, no manual coding Integrated management console for real-time monitoring, server and service management Tools for faster migration of legacy apps.
