Abstract
A system is provided for transferring a voice component and a data component of a service call. The system includes a first call distribution circuit which receives a service call comprising a voice component. A first voice instrument and a first contact control server are coupled to the first call distribution circuit. The first voice instrument receives the voice component. The first contact control server generates a data component related to the voice component. A first workstation, coupled to the first contact control server, receives the data component. A second call distribution circuit receives the voice component in an ISDN-supported transfer call via a first communication path from the first call distribution circuit. The ISDN-supported transfer call specifies an identifier associated with the first voice instrument. The second call distribution circuit determines the identifier from the ISDN-supported transfer call. A second voice instrument and a second contact control server are coupled to the second call distribution circuit. The second voice instrument receives the voice component. The second contact control server receives the data component via a second communication path from the first contact control server. The second contact control server associates the data component and the voice component using the identifier. A second workstation, coupled to the second contact control server, receives the data component.
