consulting firm specializing in the design and implementation of CTI technologies and products His work in this field dates back over a decade—before the term ''CTI" even emerged—and he is recognized as one of the pioneers of the CTI industry Many important CTI initiatives can be traced to his groundbreaking technical work, extensive promotion for his vision of CTI, and participation in various standards-setting efforts Mr Bayer has a technical background in computer-mediated communications and human interface design, and his technical credits include developing the Macintosh Telephony Architecture (MTA) and, more recently, playing a leading role in the development of the Versit CTI Encyclopedia Since founding Computer Telephony Solutions, he has continued to pursue his mission to promote the widespread adoption of CT Plug & Play standards Computer Telephony Solutions is a member of the ECTF and Mr Bayer is an active volunteer in this and other organizations dedicated to interoperability and widespread adoption of CT technology ...
