[Asterisk-biz] Unified Message Platform

[Angus Campbell]

Thanks Seshu
I knew about Ring Central (use it now) but not about the other two. Many 
of these are quite IP-centric and I think IP is over-sold in a lot of 
applications where the PSTN connections are more appropriate.  I find 
that with some notable exceptions the user interfaces are horrible.  The 
ingredients are all out there and most have been invented but not all 
have gotten the recipe or presentation right.
