Voice and data telephony started out as Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP. This is the technology that carries a telephone signal over a data network and/or the Internet instead of traditional phone wiring. VoIP soon expanded into “Enterprise Voice” which includes the integration of voice with data in enterprise applications, such as CRM or ERP. Some of these telephony solutions have application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow extensive customization to enable deep integration with business processes.
