Services on Cisco IP Phones help you enhance productivity, gain the competitive advantage, and even help generate revenue.

Cisco AVVID IP Telephony provides an end-to-end Voice over IP solution for enterprises. Part of that solution are Cisco IP Phones, a family of Internet Protocol-based phones. Cisco IP Phones feature a large display, an XML micro-browser capable of retrieving content from Web servers, and the ability to deploy custom services tailored to your organization's or enterprise's needs.

Developing Cisco IP Phone Services uses detailed code samples to explain the tools and processes used to develop custom phone services. You'll learn about XML, CallManager, Cisco IP Phones, and the history behind why Cisco chose XML to deploy phone services. You'll find detailed information to help you learn how to build a service, how to build a directory, and how to integrate your service with Cisco CallManager.
