ORLANDO, FL and NEW HOPE, PA–( EMWPresswire – March 31, 2008) – Voxeo Corporation, a leading

provider of premise and hosted Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems,

and VoiceVerified, Inc., a leading provider of voice biometric verification

technology and services, today announced a partnership to deliver

VoiceVerified’s voice authentication technology to new and existing

customers using Voxeo’s hosted IVR service.

Voice authentication enables companies to improve the caller experience by

streamlining the login process and increasing security, doing away with

forgettable PINs and passwords. Security is enhanced, since an individual’s

biometric voice authentication is as secure and unique as a fingerprint.

VoiceVerified’s Unforgettable Password™ technology works with existing

IVR systems, including Voxeo’s Prophecy IVR Platform, as a web service, or

is easily added to any call center or phone system using Voxeo’s hosted IVR

service.

“Through our partnership with Voxeo, VoiceVerified is now able to quickly

and easily enable any company to deploy voice authentication as a security

measure in their call center. With their 100% uptime guarantee and high

level of support, Voxeo is an ideal partner for us. Voxeo’s award-winning

platform has made it easy for us to develop voice authentication services

on our workstations and easily migrate them to a geographically redundant

hosting environment,” said Pete Soufleris, CTO at VoiceVerified.

“Voxeo’s goal is to make telephony simpler for our customers. Using voice

as a security method is a great way to make life easier for customers and

callers alike. We’re pleased that VoiceVerified chose Voxeo to make

complex, cutting-edge technology easily accessible to anyone who wants to

deploy voice biometrics. We see our partnership as just the beginning for

this innovative technology,” said John Amein, Senior Vice President of

Strategic Partnerships at Voxeo.

When a user calls an application that has enabled VoiceVerified’s solution

they are asked to repeat five randomly generated numbers. VoiceVerified’s

technology compares the user’s spoken response to a stored voiceprint to

authenticate their identity. The entire process only takes a few seconds

and users do not need to remember anything.

“Voice biometric authentication services can offer companies an improved

customer experience while verifying the identity of customers and

employees,” said Avivah Litan Vice President and Distinguished Analyst,

Gartner Inc. “With increasing threats on the privacy of personal

information, more companies will adopt additional security measures to

protect customers from fraud, but will want to maintain customer

convenience. Voice Biometric Authentication represents a promising

technology in this regard.”

The two companies are currently working together with several customers in

the utility and financial services industries and solutions are available

now. For more information please visit http://www.voxeo.com/ or
