are automatically updated during the day. This permits investors to call
about the status of their investments.

can be calculated by a central computer, and reports can be generated
in far less time.

Up-to-the-minute prices on foreign currency and certificates of deposits
are of particular interest to traders and investors. A more sophisticated
system allows for purchase via transferring funds.

The system provides an interactive loan questionnaire that prompts them
to enter information about the amount of their loan and the desired repayment
schedule, which in return uses this information to calculate payments.

City, state and federal tax authorities provide customers with free tax
assistance. Private firms can provide personal tax assistance for a fee
by directing callers to agents who answer their questions over the phone.

Information and Collection
This type of system provides customers with current account information.
Callers retain the option of transferring to an agent at any time. On

those who called in, those payments are overdue and prompting them for
expected payment dates.
