AnswerSoft

AnswerSoft, Inc. was a privately-held computer-telephony integration (CTI) software company based in Richardson, Texas. Its Concerto product line automated interactions between telephony systems and business applications, covering smart screen pop, intelligent call routing, data mining, and early internet-enabled call centers. Davox Corporation acquired AnswerSoft in a stock-for-stock transaction in 1998 to pair AnswerSoft's inter-application automation with Davox's Unison outbound call center line, taking the combined company into the emerging CRM market. Davox renamed itself Concerto Software in 2002, merged with Aspect Communications to form Aspect Software in 2005, and merged with Noble Systems to become Alvaria in 2021. AnswerSoft has not operated independently for over twenty-five years, publishes no API, developer program, or documentation, and the answersoft.com domain is now listed for sale on the GoDaddy aftermarket. This profile is retained as a historical acquired-company lead only.

AnswerSoft is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Contact Center, Computer Telephony Integration, Call Center Software, and CRM.
