Voxware Adds IBM WebSphere and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Support

Voxware, a supplier of voice picking software for warehousing operations, announced support for the IBM WebSphere application server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. A major U.S. retailer has chosen this technology stack for the rollout of its Voxware 3 voice picking solution.

“Voice vendors traditionally offered few if any choices in system software needed to operate their solutions,” said Scott Yetter, Voxware's CEO. “Most companies have been moving toward thin-client, loosely-coupled applications deployed on true enterprise platforms because they are easier to scale, manage, and support. Yet many voice solutions are fat-client, tightly-coupled applications that don’t fit easily into a modern IT technology stack.

“Today’s announcement reflects Voxware’s commitment to modernize voice in the warehouse by supporting the kind of technology options that today’s enterprise IT organizations have integrated into their operational standards,” he added.
