IBM, in the late 1970s, offered their top executives a unique
system for looking at corporate data. The executive terminal provided
a screen and a telephone handset. Picking up the handset connected
the user to a data retrieval specialist, who could do whatever was
required and display the results on the executive's screen. (The
number of data retrieval specialists was much smaller than the number
of executives served, although I recall reading that the retrieval center
was staffed 24 hours a day.) I don't, unfortunately, have a reference for
this.
