CallCoordinator for

Windows Environment:

As shown in Figure 1, CallCoordinator for

Windows runs

on personal computers

connected to a local area network (LAN).

¹The telephone system switch provides the call processing functions for your telephone.

CallCoordinator for Windows enables you to use those functions from your computer.

The telephone system switch can

also provide information about each caller (such as the calle

telephone

number) that

calls your

business. CallCoordinator for Windows can use that information

as a key

in finding

the caller’s

account data in your business database.

¹The business database has the programs and data (your customers’ account information) that yo business uses.

The

LAN

provides

the

means to

pass data between you and the business database, and you

other

agents.
