Aculab's TIM allows Microsoft Speech Server 2004 R2 based applications to be powered by Aculab's Prosody media processing resource cards and benefit from Aculab's extensive portfolio of protocols, for worldwide digital network access.
Protocols include T1 and E1 interface connections, allowing prospects to be targeted in North America, Europe and Asia.
The Aculab TIM is currently the only TIM available with a cost free licence and Aculab's Prosody PCI boards offer the lowest cost per channel.
Cygcom has also announced that the Aculab Prosody PCI boards and TIM will be incorporated into Cygcom's SpeechWatch console that provides monitoring, alarming and e-notification for the telephony elements in Microsoft Speech Server.
"Our ISVs look for us to provide complete managed and supported voice server platforms for their applications and our SpeechWatch console is key in making support fast and easy", comments Valliant.
A Microsoft Speech Server solution based on an Aculab platform will have a lower total cost of ownership of the initial server platform and bundled with Cygcom's SpeechWatch console, a lower total cost of ownership for post installation support and maintenance.
The benefits to the enterprise customer are clear: maximising system uptime and performance and making support quick and easy.
"We look forward to working closely with Microsoft and Aculab in making speech a mainstream, pervasive technology by building scalable speech platforms and providing support with a managed cost orientation in mind", comments Valliant.
"The integration of Aculab's Prosody PCI card with Microsoft Speech Server 2004 R2 opens up many new opportunities for Aculab".
"Partnering with Cygcom, who have a great deal of experience in integrating, building and supporting Microsoft Speech Server systems, will ensure Aculab can capitalise on these new opportunities", said Faye McClenahan, Head of Strategic Marketing at Aculab.
"We're pleased that Cygcom and Aculab are working together to provide opportunities for customers to reduce their total cost of ownership while at the same time maximising the benefits of Microsoft Speech Server", said Piyush Dogra, Director of Strategic Alliances at Microsoft.
