IVM Answering Attendant Software

Complete voicemail, call attendant and IVR solution for Windows

IVM is a telephone voice mail, call attendant, and interactive voice response (IVR) program for Windows. It connects to the phone using a professional telephony board, voice modem, or directly to a VoIP service.

For example, IVM can play a menu to callers, redirect incoming calls during office hours or act as an answer machine and take messages for a number of voice mail boxes after hours. All calls (including those answered by you) are logged with date, time and caller ID. The recorded messages can be played at any time, forwarded to an email address, accessed via the internet or, if necessary, saved for future reference. This software is a complete voicemail, call attendant, menu system, info-line, audiotext or autodial solution for small to medium businesses.

IVM can also be used very simply as a computer answering machine. Just run the install file on your PC and it will be ready to answer calls. But, when you are ready, you can explore the advanced key response and programming options to create a sophisticated telephone interactive response system. You will find many exciting ways to use IVM to provide information, serve your customers and save time.
