The days of expensive proprietary telecom software are over.
Asterisk solves a wide range of challenges, from common PBX and key
system replacements to highly-specialized applications at a fraction of
the price of traditional systems.
Asterisk is a complete telecommunications platform for companies who want to incorporate
an Asterisk solution in their business. It provides tested reliability
of critical functions and features, tailored for small and medium sized
business applications, and is backed by eXponent Technologies' professional support
team .
Asterisk represents a highly valuable piece of software for a number of reasons:
Extreme Cost Reduction
Combined with low-cost telephony hardware, Asterisk can be used to create a PBX at a fraction of the price of traditional
PBX and key systems, while providing a level of functionality exceeding
that of many of the most expensive systems available. Control Asterisk allows the
user to take control of their phone system. Once a call is in a Linux®
box with Asterisk, anything can be done to it. In the same way that
Apache gives the user fine-grained control over virtually every aspect
of its operation (and its Open Source nature gives even more
flexibility), the same applies to Asterisk. Rapid Deployment and Development Asterisk allows
PBX's and IVR applications to be rapidly created and deployed. Its
powerful CLI and text configuration files allow both rapid
configuration and real-time diagnostics. Rich, Broad Feature Base Because Asterisk is
Open Source and is implemented in software, not only does it provide
features such as voicemail, voice menus, IVR, and conferencing which
are very expensive for proprietary systems, but it also allows new
features to be added rapidly and with minimal effort. Customization Through its internationalization
support, configuration files, and source code, every aspect of Asterisk
can be tweaked. For example, Asterisk's codes for call features could
be changed to match an existing system. Dynamic Content Deployment In the same way that
web servers like Apache allow a user to deploy dynamic content, such as
account information, movie show times, etc, on the web, Asterisk
permits you to deploy such dynamic content over the telephone, with the
same ease as CGI. Extremely Flexible Dialplan Asterisk's unusually
flexible dialplan allows seamless integration of IVR and PBX
functionality. Many of Asterisk's existing features (and desired
features of the future) can be implemented using nothing more than
extension logic. Asterisk supports a mix of extension lengths.
eXponent Technologies' extensive experience with the Asterisk PBX ensures a fast and error-free Asterisk deployment, deep customisation and in-depth support.
