2. 7. 2 Application interfaces
The most important interface for own and third-party applications is the interface of the
Mitel Open Interfaces Platform (OIP). This open interface allows the applications to be
deeply integrated with telephony. Third-party applications can also be integrated on
MiVoice Office 400 series systems via different interfaces without OIP.

OIP services
The OIP services are the central components of OIP. They are used to control the sys-
tem and make the OIP features and interfaces available. Thanks to the modular organ-
isation and vast configuration possibilities, versatile and customer-specific solutions
can be set up.
OIP applications
Sophisticated Softphones are available as OIP applications and are controlled as cli-
ents via OIP.
• Mitel OfficeSuite is a rich-client application, which significantly broadens the range
of functions of the coupled fixed and cordless phones.
• MiVoice 1560 PC Operator is an operator application which can be used as rich-cli-
ent application together with a fixed or cordless phone or alone as Softphone.
