Server Database Rules – Tell Me About It!
Server Database – rules and notes
In the new world of IP, what looks like a telephone handset is in fact a computer. Could it be a web server?
If it’s an Alcatel IP handset then it’s a server terminal driven by a presentation set and if it’s a Cisco IP handset, it’s more or less a PC.
The only restriction for servers is the size and type of the display.
I work in the financial industry as a developer and not that the financial industry has any greater implementation of XML than any other, but web applications that utilize back office processing for loan applications, or new account opening processes, or retail internet banking applications all to some extent make calls to a host.
In both cases the telephone interface is a web browser and as fashion accessory the IP telephone can sit where you the PC can’t.
Many times it’s a DB2 database, and many times some other process that returns account information or validation information in xml format.
