Analytics is the process of obtaining an optimal or realistic decision based on various types of data. Observe analytic systems, including text-based analytics; voice-based analytics; analytic systems that examine structured data in databases; analytic systems that examine unstructured data in SMS, email, and social networks. Some systems actively monitor active dialogues, while others examine logs and historical data. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of each, and identify the systems appropriate for your enterprise.

Sample the latest commercially available speaker identification and verification (SIV) systems. Train SIV systems to recognize your voice and see how your voice can replace your password. Try to fool the SIV system by pretending to be someone else. Test-drive SIV applications, including time and attendance reporting using cell phones, electronic signatures to improve office workflow, reset user IDs, and more. Learn how SIV can be integrated into your applications.
