AsteriskNow Rocks Open Source Telecom World
,----[ Quote ]
| Spencer, founder, chairman and CTO of Asterisk provider Digium,
| Huntsville, Ala., is a onetime Linux service provider who has
| taken to YouTube to promote AsteriskNow, a new GUI-powered
| version of the popular open-source PBX aimed at attracting a
| new wave of solution providers. In the 4-minute, 13-second
| clip, Spencer takes viewers through the quick and easy
| AsteriskNow install. That's no small matter. What the new
| single-disk GUI install does is dramatically lower the cost
| of entry for solution providers looking to get into the
| open-source telecom game.

|
| That power has already attracted considerable attention in the telecom
| world. Sam Houston State University, an early adopter, has transitioned
| from Cisco CallManager IP PBXes and a Nortel Meridian PBX to Asterisk at a
| huge cost savings. Solution providers say Asterisk is reshaping the
| competitive landscape, providing double-digit services margins for them and
| bigger bang for the buck for clients.
