In the course of any given work day, many of us find ourselves thinking there must be a better way to do some task at hand, and wishing that a tool existed to help.
Carousel Industries is giving you a chance to make your wish come true with its 2011 APPY Awards. Enter your
idea for an app that will make your work life easier. If it’s chosen as the winner by our panel of esteemed judges, you’ll will have the app built by Carousel’s developers, and receive $1,000 to boot. In addition, 10 finalists will get $100 each and the first 200 entrants get a $5 Amazon gift card.
CAPS platform takes complexity out of CTI apps
The APPY Awards is a way to promote the Carousel Application Server (CAPS), which is an application development platform that takes as much as 80% of the work out of building computer telephony integration (CTI) applications.
CAPS has many CTI components built in and ready to deploy, so developers don’t need to start from square one. It uses a multi-tiered architecture to separate core functionality from the custom function that rides on top, so custom applications can leverage lots of existing, pre-built functions. Those functions include click-to-dial, enabling users to dial phone numbers (including extensions) from within client databases, phone books and web browsers. CAPS also includes Enhanced Caller ID, to capture data on callers, and push messaging, which can deliver text messages to desktop phones.
Carousel developers use CAPS internally for most of our own custom application development, so it’s constantly undergoing rigorous testing. What’s more, services and applications are developed with re-use in mind, so customers with CAPS get regular updates with an ever-expanding list of services to choose from.
