Danyork

What is all the IPv6 buzz about? And how will it impact your communications applications? In February 2011, the last IPv4 addresses were allocated to the global registries. While IPv4 addresses will be available for some time, the reality is that IPv6 addresses will be required in the future. Service providers, enterprises and integrators need to understand how IPv6 works and what impacts it may or may not have on applications.

To learn more, join Voxeo’s Dan York for this exploration of IPv6 and what it means for you.

Thursday, May 05, 2011

Time: 11:00 AM US Eastern, 8:00 AM US Pacific, 5:00 PM Central European

In this free webinar, Dan covered:

  • a quick overview of the basics of IPv6, including addressing, DNS, and some subtle differences between IPv4 and IPv6
  • how SIP and VoIP work in an IPv6 world
  • what you need to consider when looking to migrate an application to IPv6

In the session, Dan demonstrated VoIP communications over IPv6 using SIP and Voxeo Prophecy and provided resources to learn more. He also talked about the upcoming “World IP6 Day” on June 8, 2011.

Tobiasgoebel

Two thirds of today’s Internet users actively engage with social networks such as Twitter or Facebook. They use it mainly for personal communication, but often share feedback and thoughts about product or service experiences. Companies need to contribute to this conversation to protect their brands, enhance customer service or provide proactive customer care. They are or will soon be faced both with a staffing problem and the technical challenge of having to integrate with their more traditional customer interaction channels.Learn how Voxeo can help you automate communication over social channels and bridge the gap between social networks and traditional channels such as IVR or direct agent interaction.

Speakers: Tobias Goebel, Senior Sales Engineer, Voxeo Corporation

NOTE: We discovered why we had the problem with Twitter and were not able to do a live demo – I wrote a post about it (and the fact that you unfortunately cannot depend upon Twitter’s reliability right now).

Free Webinar: Dec 16, 2010 – Who you gonna call? Place and receive Phone Calls from your Web Browser using PhonoSDK

December 15th, 2010 by Dan York

Speaker: Chris Matthieu, Director Business Development, Voxeo

Chris Matthieu

Abstract: Phono SDK is a simple jQuery plugin and JavaScript library that turns any web browser into a phone; capable of making/receiving phone calls and sending/receiving instant messages for free.  You can even connect to SIP clients and Tropo/Evolution App Ids; all with a simple unified API.

The Phono SDK is a pure client-side solution and requires zero server-side logic on your part; all communication is handled transparently by the Voxeo Cloud. In the near future Voxeo will release a downloadable Phono Gateway that allows Phono to connect to any SIP Voice over IP infrastructure directly without the Voxeo cloud.

A few interesting use cases that we have seen in the community include:

  • Click-to-call
  • Web chat
  • Video gaming VoIP conferences
  • Call center routing to agents via SIP
  • Browser conversations with users including page interaction

In this developer jam session, Chris Matthieu, Director Business Development at Voxeo Labs, will walk you through the Phono SDK capabilities and will perform some live coding to demonstrate how easy it is to add a telephone to your browser application.

Date: Thursday, December 16, 2010

Time: 8:00 AM US Pacific, 11:00 AM US Eastern, 5:00 PM Central European

Free Webinar: Nov 30, 2010 – Serving the Social Customer: Scaling Your Support for Twitter, Facebook and more

November 22nd, 2010 by Dan York

Speaker: Dan York, Director of Conversations, Voxeo Corporation

Dan York

Abstract: By 2014, Gartner Research estimates that social networking services will replace email as the primary communications vehicle for 20 percent of business users – and for many people this is already the case. As you connect to customers in social channels, a key question is – how can you scale that communication? If you have only a few people monitoring Twitter, what do you do when they go home? As you successfully interact with people on Twitter, how do you handle the growth?

Do you hire a whole new group of people to “tweet”? Or do you look at how appropriate forms of automation can help you scale your interaction?

Join Voxeo’s Director of Conversations, Dan York, in this free Developer Jam Session to explore how Voxeo’s tools and platforms can help you scale your usage of social channels. You will learn how to:

  • Monitor a Twitter account and take action on incoming messages or mentions.
  • Send urgent notifications via SMS or voice based on certain keywords that appear in tweets.
  • Craft appropriate automatic responses based on what customers send via Twitter.
  • Use an automated app can assist the person monitoring a Twitter account in collecting information to provide a response.
  • Tie your social interaction into the same analytics and application used for other communication channels like voice, SMS, IM, and mobile web.

Plus you will get a view of how these services can be extended to other social services like facebook.

Date: November 30, 2010
