AXXESS is designed to provide the foundation for all current and future CTI solutions. CTI links PC intelligence with telephones, enabling the emergence of a powerful and flexible work environment. Inter-Tel's AXXESS platform brings both desktop-level and system-level telephony to your personal computer. By embracing both CTI standards -- TAPI and TSAPI -- Inter-Tel gives you the flexibility to choose the standard which works best for you.

• Advanced software technology (C++ programming language and object-oriented design) allows Inter-Tel to add applications and upgrade system capabilities through software.
• AXXESS offers distinct Open Architecture Interfaces (OAIs) at the Desktop and System levels to enable a multitude of meaningful business applications.
• Users can place and receive phone calls while sending data with their modem or while connected to the Internet, all from one telephone port.
• System level interfaces give you high-speed digital links for attached CTI applications. These interfaces provide true integration with voice mail, call routing, automated attendant, and third-party applications.
• AXXESS uses industry standard protocols, such as TAPI (Telephone Application Programming Interface), TSAPI (Telephony Server Application Programming Interface), ASAI (Adjunct-Switch Application Interface), MVIP (Multi-Vendor Integration Protocol), CSTA (Computer Supported Telephony Applications) and DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange).
