The CTI OS is Cisco’s next generation customer contact integration platform. CTI OS combines a 
powerful, feature-rich server and an object-oriented software development toolkit to enable rapid 
development and deployment of complex CTI applications. Together with the Cisco CTI Server 
Interface, CTI OS Server and the CTI OS Client Interface Library (CIL), create a high performance, 
scalable, fault-tolerant three-tiered CTI architecture, as illustrated in
