A financial customer support system provides an integrated gateway to a
service operator fielding financial service calls via a call center or
other facility. Service attendants taking calls via an automatic call
distributor or other channels have access to a workstation communicating
with the transaction server, which in turn has access to multiple
information sources for mutual fund families, tax and other information.
Because the attendants at the call center or other service site need not
resort to printed information or need to correlate information from
multiple sources, responsiveness is increased and quality of information
is improved. Different levels or hierarchies may be clicked through or
accessed according to particular client requests.
