Communications-Enabled CRM

C3IP Communications, a privately-held VoIP provider based in Scottsdale, Ariz., has integrated its communications functions with the Act! customer relations management software. As a result, C3IP clients using Act! have access to customer histories, account information and other resources whenever customers call in.


These days we might call the availability of communication features inside an application a "mashup." Decades ago we would have called this an example of computer-telephony integration. By either name, the idea is roughly the same: embed communications inside a business process.
