Visual IVR for smartphones

Hi,

I would like to get in contact with a business development representative at Sangoma/Asterisk to discuss potential collaboration on new functionality enabling a visual IVR experience on smartphones.

At Ericsson, we are currently developing a concept that allows mobile operators to present web-based content directly within smartphone dialers during voice calls. This capability enables enterprises to display customized web content when customers call their contact centers over a mobile network, using SIP trunking.

We have already explored and demonstrated several use cases in our labs, using pre-commercial devices from Samsung. Based on this progress, we are now looking to engage with established enterprise solution vendors.

One of the initial use cases we would like to pursue is a visual IVR solution, where interactive menu options are presented as clickable elements on the screen, synchronized with the corresponding voice prompts (see example below). We are particularly interested in discussing this with someone who can develop the required functionality on the Asterisk platform.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with the appropriate person to explore this further.

Best regards,

Sven Gemski

How much money are you offering to write this?

Remember - Asterisk is Open Source. You undoubtedly have telephony software developers on salary. It will surely be immensely cheaper for you to pay your own people to write this and submit it to the Asterisk project, than pay a consulting house to write it for you.
