If you are wondering what is going on with all these “Voxeo Speaks” videos appearing in our Voxeo Talks blog, here’s the deal – last week at ITEXPO I (Dan York) recorded several of the sessions in Thomas Howe’s Cloud Communications Summit with the intent of making them available through our voxeo.blip.tv channel. I have to use blip.tv because the videos are longer than the 10 minutes allowed by YouTube. But then, of course, I realized that to publish them to that channel in the way that I am currently using the channel, I needed to number them… and perhaps it’s just me, but I wanted them to be in rough chronological order with the other conference videos I have recorded.
So… I am basically “flushing the queue”, as it were, and getting some of the video I’ve had around for a few months up online. I’m almost there, but if you have worked with video you know that it takes a while to render. Over the next few days I should be all caught up.
I hope you enjoy the presentations – and yes, the lighting was horrible on that WPMU presentation… (well, actually the brightness of the slides caused the camera to reduce the exposure level).
P.S. And no, I don’t know why precisely I didn’t spin up a separate “blog” on the site specifically to house these videos. I still could… but now these are here in the Voxeo Talks stream. My thinking really was that people can subscribe directly to the blip.tv channel – and that we won’t have a zillion of these videos over the course of a year. I may revisit that thinking, though.

At VON 2009 in Miami Beach, FL, Voxeo’s Dan York joined Thomas Howe and Suresh Bhandarkar to discuss the topic of applications and “app stores”. The abstract of the session was: The Apple App Store has proven the value of embracing third-party application developers to bring innovative, sticky and useful applications to subscribers. But how can service providers leverage the idea? To date device manufacturers like Research in Motion Ltd. and Palm Inc., or platform providers like Google Inc. and Broadsoft Corp. have led the applications charge-and reaped the benefits. This session will examine where carriers fit into the value chain ? and how they can build viable ecosystems of their own. … although Dan and Thomas took it in different directions in a lively and spirited discussion.

Beyond Boxes: The Future of the PBX – On September 21, 2009, at the VON 2009 conference in Miami Beach, FL, Voxeo’s Dan York, Director of Conversations joined a panel discussion about the future of the PBX. Though the PBX has been the heart of enterprise telephony and arguably the heart of the business itself, hosted and cloud-based telephony are finally convincing customers to loosen their death grip on gear in the on-premises closet. This session will explain the advantages, such as ever-current applications, support for distributed workforces and (ironically) unprecedented user-level control. And, oh yeah, its opex-based model is pretty great for cash-strapped companies, too. Moderator: Mike Oeth, CEO, Junction Networks Other Panelist: Chris Thompson, Senior Product Manager, AdTran More information at http://blogs.voxeo.com

At O’Reilly’s OSCON 2009 in San Jose, Voxeo’s Dan York spoke about using WordPress MU (WPMU) to create a corporate blog portal. Dan discussed how he used WPMU to create
blogs.voxeo.com and specifically the tools he used, the lessons he learned and suggestions he would offer to others. NOTE: The video is very dark and could not be fixed in post-production. It is admittedly more of an
audio file with some slides visible. FYI, the slides are available for viewing directly at

Securing Cloud Telephony Dan York, CISSP, Director of Conversations ? Voxeo As voice and self-service applications move increasingly into the cloud and to IP communications, what do you need to be concerned about with regard to the security of hosted solutions? If you grow to trust the cloud, how can you be sure it will be there for you? What protections can you put in place? What backup plans can you establish? What questions should you ask potential hosted/cloud vendors? In this session, security professional Dan York will walk you through the basic risk areas of voice-over-IP security, explain how those relate to both hosted and hybrid configurations and leave you with a concrete list of questions to consider in considering hosted/cloud options. Slides available here:

Voxeo This session will explain ASR (automatic speech recognizer) confidence rejection thresholds: what they are, where they come from, and their criticality to your ASR-enabled IVR. We describe the steps necessary to optimize this important threshold value throughout your application, covering transcription, the importance of grammar coverage, and an explanation of terms such as the Equal Error Rate. This session is ideal for those ready to take their ASR-enabled IVR tuning to the next level.
