Computer telephony integration
technology that allows interactions on a telephone and a computer to be coordinated
Computer-telephony integration, also called computer–telephone integration or CTI, is a general term for technologies that coordinate interactions between telephones and computers. The term is predominantly used to describe desktop-based applications that improve user efficiency, though it can also refer to server-based functionality such as automatic call routing.
The public source identifies “Computer telephony integration” as technology that allows interactions on a telephone and a computer to be coordinated. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Computer, telephony and integration.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Computer telephony integration”, the useful work is to connect “technology that allows interactions on a telephone and a computer to be coordinated” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1122355. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
