[asterisk-biz] Digium, Polycom, and Netxusa Cutting Us Out?!?

[Craig Lawrence]

If you assume:

 

- MS Exchange (or something of a similar name) will eventually include a PBX
server as part of the many optional configurations choices (it may require a
special license or upgrade for a short while and then become a free option
subject to competitive forces); and

- Asterisk will be going head-to-head against this product with an interface
such as the 'early' yet promising AsteriskNOW interface.

 

Then the main target market for VoIP installs will probably be your in-house
network admin guy, not the external provider/consultant.

 

Perhaps as VoIP evolves and becomes mainstream part of this evolution is to
remove the need for an external consultant in many cases other than the
complex deployments.

 

So perhaps it's not the vendors cutting integrators out of the less complex
installs, perhaps it's the market itself that's evolving.

 

Cheers
