What is an Application Interface (AI)?
![Page 4: Buddy System of Application Interfaces (AI’s) · sends commands to the switch. ... • Metaswitch • Nortel DMS10 • Siemens EWSD • Siemens DCO • MACC can program for other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022523/5b38e2d67f8b9a5a518df02d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
An Application Interface is an exchange of data between two computer applications.
Also known as software integration.
Most of our AI’s involve Customer Master passing data to a vendor application.

Why should I consider an Application Interface?
![Page 6: Buddy System of Application Interfaces (AI’s) · sends commands to the switch. ... • Metaswitch • Nortel DMS10 • Siemens EWSD • Siemens DCO • MACC can program for other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022523/5b38e2d67f8b9a5a518df02d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
There are a lot of software products and telecom equipment on the market.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they all talked to each other?
Can you think of examples in your office where you are entering the same data into multiple systems?

MACC has seen increased interest/demand for AI’s in recent years.
We’ve invested time to develop a foundation that will allow for a variety of integrations.
![Page 9: Buddy System of Application Interfaces (AI’s) · sends commands to the switch. ... • Metaswitch • Nortel DMS10 • Siemens EWSD • Siemens DCO • MACC can program for other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022523/5b38e2d67f8b9a5a518df02d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is MACC’s approach to AI’s?
![Page 10: Buddy System of Application Interfaces (AI’s) · sends commands to the switch. ... • Metaswitch • Nortel DMS10 • Siemens EWSD • Siemens DCO • MACC can program for other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022523/5b38e2d67f8b9a5a518df02d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MACC’s open architecture allows us to work with any vendor.
MACC can program to vendor Application Programming Interfaces (API’s).• An API is a document that describes “how” to communicate with vendor software.
![Page 11: Buddy System of Application Interfaces (AI’s) · sends commands to the switch. ... • Metaswitch • Nortel DMS10 • Siemens EWSD • Siemens DCO • MACC can program for other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022523/5b38e2d67f8b9a5a518df02d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MACC can communicate directly with telecom equipment (ex. switches, servers, routers).
MACC can help you if you want to develop your own in‐house solution.

AI projects typically involve a joint effort between the telecom, vendor and MACC.
Regularly scheduled conference calls to discuss issues and keep project moving.
Not all AI’s are created equal!

Customer Testimonial (Columbus Telephone – Set Top Box provisioning with Motorola)
The A/I that MACC designed is literally the lifeblood of our digital cable TV system. All communication between us and our set top boxes in the field must take place through our MACC interface ‐ we have no other means of communication.
If you're eager to keep your operations and workflow as streamlined and simple as possible, investing in a custom application interface from MACC is undoubtedly the way to go.
