The CSP is connected with the plurality of applications and a plurality of users. Multiple users in different communications systems having varied communications protocols can utilize generally the same application (as selected by the users) through the CSP. Requests for uses in different communications system are transferred to the CSP for conversion into generally the same format that is acceptable by a selected application. Outputs from the selected application are transferred into formats that are acceptable by the requesting user.
