IC Webclient integration with Telephone system

Question

Hi Guys,
A client of uses Mitel (VOIP) telephone system and wants to integrate the phone system to CIC Webclient so that some sort of BP detection (using incoming phone number) can happen in the IC when a call comes in.
As Mitel is not on list of the SAP certified Computer Telephony vendors, what are the options that we can look at to achieve this ? We do not want to necessarily use a CTI solution for this unless its essential.
Your inputs on this are very much welcome.

Hi,
Telephone is PBX system. In order to connect the telephone system to SAP Phone(CRM system), you need CTI Server. CTI enables the integration to ICI of CRM System using XML/SOAP protocols.
ANI module is a part of the Telephone system which enables to identify the customer number in CRM application. In other words, as you said, it is the phone system passing the phone no. of the calling person to CRM system. CAD generated on the IVR module part of telephone system).
CTI transfers the CAD to CRM and BP is displayed in the Interaction Center.
Hope this helps your understanding. Please give points if so.
Thanks,
John
