0326 - Claire

This dramatised film promotes British Telecom's "CLAIRE", an advanced computer system that helps customers manage their telephone system more efficiently. The film explains how Claire records information about all incoming and outgoing calls, sorts the data into useful reports, and can even calculate phone bills for hotels or hospitals. It also demonstrates other potential uses of Claire, such as billing clients in solicitors' offices or creating directories in hospitals. The film emphasises the ease of use and technical capabilities of Claire, including its twin floppy disc drive, 16-bit microchip technology, and IBM compatibility.
