The Ultimate Voice Portal:
Voice-Enabled Consumer Services from any Phone

In this discussion, Amol Joshi will introduce and discuss consumer-enabled “V-Services” what they are, their scope and examples of voice-enabled content, commerce, communications, and customer relationships. He will talk about the relationship between voice portals and traditional consumer portals and the voice strategy that businesses such as Yahoo are considering. Mr. Joshi will then examine how via a single, toll-free number, consumers can have quick, accurate, and intuitive access to the broadest variety of personalized information and services through the use of speech-recognition technology.

Enabling the Wireless Web Explosion – The Difference is Infrastructure

In Informio’s view, today’s wireless Web is at the stage of development that the Web was six or seven years ago. The Web only became commercially viable when the right ingredients were in place – open protocols, easy access and a user-friendly browser – to enable content and application providers to join the party. Today, Informio is supplying the wireless Web’s missing ingredients – the company’s open, distributed infrastructure will fuel the exponential growth of a new generation of "killer business apps" to be hosted and delivered to mobile devices worldwide. Informio foresees three major categories of Internet content and applications that will be developed and delivered via audio and voice technology on their open infrastructure: (1) vertical business productivity applications (e.g., customer relationship management and sales force automation tools); (2) broad horizontal information services and applications (e.g., customized news, stocks and weather); and (3) broad horizontal productivity tools (e.g., email, groupware and personal information management).
