IE
ip 406 running 4.1.15
client would like unique customer number (custome id) displayed on handsets on incoming calls.
ldap only supports 500 entries.
ipo directory supports 1000.
client has a customer list of approx 10000.

2 questions
1. will vmpro & Third Party Database Access (IVR)
license support the 10000 entries requirement
2. is there any other way of achieving this goal?

If you create a SQL table that contains the information needed you can route the call through a VM call flow that does a SQL SELECT and returns the information which can then be added to the tag of a transferred call.

I use that to return account numbers and customer name.

what database is your customer using?
Is the database static/low input or heavily updated?
What info do they need presented to the agent?

If you have a lot of time you can create a list in VMPro for CLI matching and put a name in the transfer tag.
If you use database access with ODBC you can connect to alamost any file ( excel, text, sql database or whatever ) supported by ODBC and for each call you can look for the CLI in the file and then retrieve the name and put it in the TAG of a transfer.
The same can be done with TAPI Pro and some custom made software or with a CRM connection.

the database would be access 2000 probably. almost static. occasional additions or changes at most.
the idea is to present an account code on the handsets on the incoming call.
eg incoming number 1234567 presents account id 4444444 on the handset display.
intrigant, do you think the cli matching will support 10000 entries?
i've got the database access to work but the client is reluctant to go to the expense of the ivr license on top of vmpro so would like to find an alternative solution if possible.

They only alternative is to put all those numbers in VM Pro, you cannot import it so it must be done by hand.
The time putting this in and the administration of it may cost a multiple of the licenses and using a existing databae.

guess i'll have to go back to the client with the numbers & let them decide.

thanks for all the help

Hmmm, isn't this a classic case of where you should use TAPI and a contact manager?

tapi and a contact manager? can you elaborate a little? what contact manager are you suggesting i use?

no goldmine.
just a centralised flat list of contacts with phone number and account id. the only requirement is the account id displaying on the handsets.

I don't think beyond what has been suggested there is any other solution that does not involve them putting their hand in their pockets.

Not at all, in fact GoldMine is not TAPI compliant you need middleware. I don't plug anything it just a clear cut business need to me.

Yeah but you cannot do anything in GoldMine during the call because it is using a modem dialer!!!

Does the customer have exchange?

If so why not do something with Public Folders?
