Chapter 18 Call Accounting

AIMWorX™

NEC’s Applications Integration Manager or AIMWorX is an application suite of management
software based on a call accounting foundation. It provides an easy way to cost calls with a
variety of features to use this information. AIMWorX has a wide range of predefined
administrative reports and gives you the ability to create your own.
AIMWorX first gathers Station Message Detail Records (SMDR) from the switch. This data
stream is sent each time a call is completed. It contains data about the call including; trunk and
route information, phone numbers of where the call was placed from and where it went to,
what time it started and ended, and variable information that may include authorization codes,
account codes, or office codes. AIMWorX costs each record using costing data that you have
defined to create Call Detail Records (CDR). These records provide the data to run queries
and reports.
AIMWorX supports many Single Point of Entry (SPE) plug-in modules and add-on applications.
Single Point of Entry modules share AIMWorX databases, allowing user information to be
entered once for many different applications. These modules add interfacing capabilities to
remote functions through tabs added to the AIMWorX screens.
Add-on applications are telecommunication packages that have separate user interfaces
but can use AIMWorX already established database. Examples of add-ons are Interactive
Directory, Message Center, and Visual Console.
All optional features, plug-ins, and applications are delivered on a single CD ROM. Included,
as part of the package is a security mechanism (hardware key) that allows the customer to
register the product, and to activate the desired features for the product that they selected.
Also contained on the CD ROM are online help files for each application, and a copy of all
associated application documentation that can be read by the customer using a shareware tool
included for this specific purpose.
AIMWorX is available as software only for use with customer-provided PC, or as a turnkey
hardware system. These turnkey systems are pre-loaded at our customizing center on servers
and desktop PCs from NEC Computer Systems Division (NEC CSD).
AIMWorX integrates with Property Management Systems when the AIMWorX Hospitality Links
module is purchased.
