Features and Benefits
Symposium Meridian LINK Services is based on
Symposium Call Centre Server Release 4.0. It is an
intelligent signalling link offering host application
access to Meridian 1 call processing functions. It is an
important element of the Meridian 1 solution as it
provides a Computer Telephony Interface (CTI) to
powerful, service enhancing third party applications.
Examples may include IBM CallPath and Genesys CTI
applications. (Nortel Networks also offer a fully
integrated, pre-packaged CT middleware solution -
Symposium TAPI Service Provider.)
Symposium Meridian LINK Services is available as a
no charge feature when purchasing Symposium Call
Centre Server or Symposium Express Call Centre
with a minimum agent quantity (dependent on
region). It can run as a software-only product
