Pronexus, the developer of the VBVoice interactive voice response (IVR) toolkit, announced today the launch of IVRguard, an IVR monitoring solution that guards an IVR system and sends immediate alerts at the first sign of technical difficulties.

Based on VBVoice, the IVRguard software offers a set of features that include a password-protected Web interface, script builder, and system-wide log of call reach attempts that indicates whether the attempts were successful or missed.

IVRguard can be configured to either dial out to the monitored IVR solution or the monitored IVR solution can dial into the IVRguard application. The dial in or out frequency is fully configurable and escalated alarm settings are also entirely defined by the end user.

“IVRguard is based on our award-winning IVR software VBVoice,” said Pronexus CEO Gary Hannah.  “We are pleased to offer our customers yet another innovative solution to help ensure their business continuity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  For our customers that provide mission-critical services, IVRguard now offers an extra measure of security to protect their customers and users.”

Customers report that IVRguard offers their end users an edge in the marketplace. “As an IVR solution provider it is essential to our customers that we offer a fail-safe IVR solution,” said Denis Solodnikov, Senior Client Application Architect for Vocantas, a long-standing customer of VBVoice. “The IVRguard solution is one more edge we give our customers over their competition with an IVR solution that is the most robust and complete offering on the market today."
