Computer-Telephone Integration Solutions

Tandem Computers Incorporated and Lucent Technologies have announced development of an applications interface to link Tandem NonStop fault-tolerant computer systems and the DEFINITY ECS. This agreement lets both companies offer new applications and benefits resulting from an integrated interface from Lucent Technologies systems to Tandem computers. Tandem’s Call Applications Manager lets users collect incoming-call information, such as a caller’s phone and account numbers, from a database within seconds.

Hewlett-Packard has also announced a product for its Applied Computerized Telephone product line to connect HP 3000 and HP 9000 computers to DEFINITY ECS. The product supports Lucent Technologies Adjunct Switch Applications Interface in client/server implementations.

Global Information Services has implemented a computer telephone integration server for the microchannel midrange line of products. The GIS server 3000 is based on ASAI code licensed from Lucent Technologies to facilitate implementation of new features. Working with several application vendors, GIS will support other systems beyond DEFINITY using a middleware-based link.

A Software Developer’s Kit is available from Lucent Technologies that implements the ASAI interface for UNIX or Solaris® x86/Intel servers. The licensed software is bundled with an application package and re-sold to end users. This offering is primarily licensed to independent software vendors, value-added resellers, and systems integrators. Some technically advanced end users are also using the developer’s kit.

Lucent Technologies will continue to develop agreements with other vendors, continually enhancing your investment in Lucent Technologies technology.
