[asterisk-biz] Re: Asterisk + VoiceXML

[contact at ecomready.com]

I do not agree. I'm in the CallCenter business and VoiceXML is very hot (as 
hot as SIP). Of course each supplier come with its own extension but if you 
remain very standard, it is quite portable. Personnaly, I don't know any of 
my customer replacing his IVR (Periphonics, ...) that doesn't go for a 
VoiceXML solution (GVP, VoiceGenies, ...). 

In one of our project we need an AGI2VoiceXML interface. We really thing of 
developping it and make it GPL (based on OpenVXI). But before investing in 
such a solution, I need to know:
 - If something already exist
 - If the community is interested 

Please send me your feedback,
