Unified IP IVR Feature Summary
Unified IP IVR software is a multimedia (voice, data, web) IP-enabled interactive voice response 
solution that automates call handling by autonomously interacting with contacts.
Using Unified IP IVR, you can create applications to do the following:
  •
Interpret voice data (as well as keyboard data).
  •
Translate text to speech.
  •
Send and respond to HTTP requests.
  •
Send e-mail.
  •
Enable Unified CCX to interact directly with back-end databases through ODBC (Open Database 
Connectivity) support—without agent intervention.
