Microsoft Speech
Server 2004 Enterprise Edition - license & software assurance ( Part # BR9-00054 )
Brand New, Factory Sealed.
Full version, Retail Box.
Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) is a flexible and integrated
speech platform that delivers the business value of speech technologies at the
lowest total cost of ownership. Used in conjunction with the Microsoft Speech
Application Software Development Kit (SASDK), the Microsoft Speech Server
enables enterprises to cost-effectively deploy speech applications that can
improve employee productivity, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction and
create new revenue opportunities. Used in conjunction with the SASDK, MSS
enables enterprises to extend existing or new Web applications to be accessible
by speech. This allows enterprises to merge their Web and voice infrastructure
to create unified applications with both speech and visual access.
The Microsoft Speech Server contains all the server components for
deploying telephony (voice-only) and multimodal (voice/visual) applications. MSS
combines Web technologies, speech-processing services, and telephony
capabilities into a single system. MSS runs on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003
and performs speech recognition and speech synthesis for applications that can
be accessed by telephone, cell phone, Pocket PC, Tablet PC and other devices.
The Microsoft Speech Server leverages the improved secure architecture and new
security-aware features of Windows 2003 and includes additional security
features to protect and defend your systems, resources and users from potential
security threats.
For telephony applications the Microsoft Speech Server includes
functionality for integrating into an enterprise telephony infrastructure.
Furthermore, MSS builds upon the work of the open industry standard Speech
Application Language Tags (SALT) specification, which extends existing Web
markup languages by adding speech recognition and prompt functionality to Web
applications.
Microsoft Speech Server Enterprise Edition provides unlimited scale-out
with deployments of up to 96 ports per distributed TAS and SES servers. Multiple
individual TAS and SES servers may be added for scale-out, with load balancing
across TAS and SES servers.
MICROSOFT GOVERNMENT OPEN LICENSE
Microsoft Government Open License is a software volume licensing program
designed to reduce the costs associated with acquiring, upgrading, maintaining,
and managing software by providing simple and flexible pricing over a two-year
period. This volume licensing option is available to eligible small- and
medium-sized government entities, and is ideal for those who need to purchase
smaller quantities of licenses and who need a simple and flexible model.
SOFTWARE ASSURANCE
Microsoft's Software Assurance gives you automatic access to new
technology and provides productivity benefits, support, tools, and training to
help deploy and use software efficiently.
With Software Assurance, you receive access to new versions of licensed
software released during the term of your agreement to deploy at your own pace.
New Version Rights simplifies the procurement process and shortens the business
process cycle, allowing you to reduce the costs associated with acquiring new
version releases and immediately take advantage of the latest technology.
Software Assurance offers greater flexibility in managing technology
expenditures by allowing you to spread payments annually. This allows you to
reduce initial costs and forecast annual software budget requirements up to
three years in advance.
