Abstract
A method for managing voice response services in a call center for interactive voice response (IVR) applications that provides full IVR call capacity during the installation and testing of new IVR application software. The call center includes web application servers, a network dispatcher, IVR clusters, databases and a network switch, which are reconfigured during the installation and testing of new IVR application software so that full IVR call capacity is maintained at all times. The call center further includes the ability to uninstall newly installed IVR application software and restore the call center to the original IVR application software configuration without reducing the call center IVR call capacity.
