ANGEL INNOVATION
Traditional views of call center or voice automation infrastructure center around "boxes".  These functional unites were added, in chain-like mode, to phone lines, to construct somewhat sophisticated voice offerings.  Unfortunately, this approach has proven complex to manage, difficult to scale, and very costly.  Angel was designed as an alternative to these cumbersome applications.  The solution was built from the ground up as a service-oriented architecture, and as such, can inter operate seamlessly with other web-service architectures.  Angel takes traditional "boxes", e.g., IVR, ACD, PBX, and Call Recording, and introduces them as components of a platform that can be used and re-mixed as needed in applications that seek to solve a specific business challenge.

At the bottom of the Angel technology stack is the telecom infrastructure, making use of technologies such as SIP and VOIP.  On top of it, a standards-based VoiceXML platform provides the interface to drive caller interactions with speech recognition, media playback and speech synthesis.  These resources are managed by the application definitions produced within Site Builder.  Site Builder and the Voice site framework run on enterprise-grade Java and Oracle database technology.  As calls terminate, reporting information is gathered for further analysis in a date warehouse.

In addition, Angel has published a powerful set of APIs for developers.  With these high-level APIs, developers can embed voice functionality into their enterprise applications.  We currently offer transaction API, outbound API and call queue API.
