ABSTRACT -IVR (Interactive Voice Response) applications
are capable of automated attendant, bank teller and
automated surveys and few of many applications.
Nowadays IVR applications are offered in cloud computing
via IP Telephony technology (Voice over –IP i.e. VoIP) for
worldwide telecommunication market. Compared to
TAPI[4], VoIP supports reliable and robust applications for
cloud computing and visualization. IVR programming
applications control and respond to the calls on the IVR
platform. IVR applications prompt callers, gather input
information and transfer that information to the callers
into other phones. IVR applications uses existing database
to retrieve the information during user calls. A secure
Cloud IVR[1] web based solution which removes the
capacity, time and cost restrictions normally associated
with traditional inbound contact Centre technology.
Simply customers log onto a interface of web and create
their IVR through an intuitive of software interface to
drag-and-drop. New objects include sound files and can be
attached operative within minutes for call flow alteration.
Using this approach, the solution can be set up in less than
an hour and can changes any live in seconds. Client
present any relevant information and the IVR can link into
client databases on the agent desktop. For any call flow,
there is no limit to the number of IVRs. To create a new
Virtual Contact Centre across cities, continents or regions,
cloud IVR can also be used in partnership with existing
technology platforms. This businesses means can use
Cloud IVR to effectively more manage peaks in call flows
and leverage [6] to remote agent skills whilst still
leveraging technology platforms existing.

Using IVR Technology, users can retrieve information of Bank
balances, Flight schedules, Product details, Order status,
Movie show times and other information details. Through
Database access permissions, user can interact over the
telephone, simplifies interaction between businesses and
callers. The voice recognition[4] software (IVR System)
includes speech analytics; voice prompts, and automated tone
recognition.

I. IVR INTRODUCTION
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a telephony technology
for user defined pre-recorded voice prompts, allows
computers to interact with humans through DTMF tones (via
Telephone keypad).

In the form of Software as a Service(SaaS) and Platform as a
Service(PaaS), IVR technology intersect with cloud computing
for delivering the service oriented software system.
Most of the time, it is pretty simple for everyone to
understand, make/receive (pick up) a telephone call, hang up
or disconnect the call, play[5] an audio file, transfer the call,
conference the call! With Cloud Telephony, these kinds of
telephony functions can be added to any computer
application!
Cloud Telephony[6] means, you do not have to deal with
telephony, knowledge of how telephone works as long as you
know what you want your telephone to do!

2.1 Cloud Telephony offers many advantages

2. Better-Suited Application Development – To develop
IVR Applications, phases of development and deploy process
skills are required as well as th depth analysis and, testing
skills are required.
3. Centralized Support – IVR cloud systems are optimal for
includes upgrades of all stripes software, hardware & OS.
4. Rapid Deployment – For large scale cloud based platform
needs to develop short term basis for special announcements,
short run campaign, surveys etc.
5. Flexibility – The demand for IVR service exceeds previous
expectations. While this is a good thing, there needs to be a
flexible[1] IVR platform set in place to match this need – a
platform that can both meet communication needs, and
expand as needed in the cloud.

Cloud Telephony offers many advantages, comparing to
traditional on-premise telephony applications.

detect voice and DTMF tones input via keypad.

Traditional on premise telephony applications are typically
consisted of IVR and PBX[2] and lot of wires through MDF
(Main Distribution Frame)! IVR application is the application
which provides software like function and computational
capabilities! Could IVR, pick up an incoming call, play a
greeting, and ask to dial extension number, transfer to the
call, if the transferred number did not pick up the call, asks
the caller to record voice mail!
Few hundred lines of coding is enough to provide above
functions are in cloud telephony and can just subscribe to
Cloud Telephony service provider with monthly subscription
fee, or actual usage basis, use their API in his own
applications! With standardization of VXML, a user can
become truly independent of cloud telephony vendor or
hosted IVR provider!

2.2 Following are a few causes for IVR Cloud:
1.Simplified Platforms – The cloud combines all the layers
of the IVR into single and robust platform.

2.3 Cloud IVR benefits










Catch every single call and pass to the right person.
Use automatic promotion announcement with IVR.
Send the calls to Voicemail and receive by Email at your
business trip.
Supports true natural language speech, in addition to
directed dialog and DTMF input
Supports multiple languages for global business needs.
Provides a high-capacity platform that can handle the
largest call spikes.
Delivers high-availability[5] with 24x7 monitoring to
ensure business continuity.
Allows users to assess each channel to understand its
effectiveness for the customers who prefer it.
Reduces custom reporting.

3. CONCLUSION
Providing IVR services globally, cloud computing is a feasible
strategy. In underdeveloped countries, IVR self-care support
may improve self-care and glycemic control for patients. IVRs
allow users to remotely access IVR applications as services in
several commercial hosted. However, to the best of our
knowledge these applications do not rely on virtualized[3]
infrastructures.
