Audium Studio is an integrated development environment powered by Eclipse, that combines a full-featured suite of development tools with a graphical user interface for drag-and-drop development.  Studio supports best practices for team development and user interface design, lowering the time and risk associated with developing and deploying IVR applications.  Studio includes Audium OpenSDK, a library of prebuilt, reusable components that can be extended by third-party or custom-built additions.

Full-featured development environment

Audium leverages the functionality native to Eclipse, including best-of-breed source control and versioning systems, to provide a robust, extensible environment for development.  Studio can also be extended by Eclipse plugins available from Audium partners or the Eclipse development community. 

Studio lets teams share and manipulate entire voice projects and offers a complete team-view to all project members, simplifying the management of large, multi-application projects.

Team productivity tools 

Studio offers an integrated set of VoiceXML development tools that let IVR and system interface developers work collaboratively to create speech applications. IVR designers use their current skills to create the user interface while developers focus their expertise on building reusable custom application components that can be incorporated into the call flow. The result: concurrent development and better applications in a shorter timeframe.

Extensible library of reusable components 

Audium Elements™ are prebuilt reusable components that encapsulate best practices in application design.  Audium’s graphical development environment allows developers to connect elements to create a call flow, simplifying the process of application creation, and allowing them to focus their efforts on achieving the business goals of the application.  Each Element can either be custom configured to meet particular voice application needs, or dynamically configured to act differently for every call based on previously defined business rules.

Elements are fully customizable, allowing companies to create their own elements to encapsulate common tasks for reuse across applications, or incorporate elements from third-party developers.

Open standards, 100% VoiceXML 

Applications built in Audium Studio are 100% VoiceXML-compliant.  Studio also supports full integration with any external system using the Web Services and XML standards, allowing developers to leverage existing software resources to power advanced application functionality.

Audium is committed to helping companies enjoy the full flexibility and power of open standards.  Choose your gateway, hardware, operating system, and speech vendor; go ahead and pick application components from other vendors, and connect to just about any database, ERP, mainframe or transactional system out there. Develop in Java, C++, or any other development language. Compile. Test. Then change your mind. Audium Studio will work.
