[Asterisk-biz] Unified Message Platform

[Kanuri, Seshu (Company IT)]

Angus,
 
Iareanet platform is not IP Centric. It uses PSTN Interface for all the
call services, using Interactive Intelligence Platform and a bunch of
Cisco gear. Only the UAs are IP driven. Hence the call quality here is a
lot better than pure IP Platforms.
 
I spoke to Mr.Rao of pandora networks and theu have a similar recipe for
their applications, just to maintain the voice quality and more
importantly to provide the FAX Transmit/receive services, which
otherwise would not be easy to do on IP.
 
Just an FYI

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.

	Hello
	I have a group of entrepreneurs researching a new service
offering in the unified communications corner of the market.  I am
looking for system that would support the following:
	
	-Voice Mail with e-mail delivery
	-Auto-attendant
	-Fax store and forward
	-Conferencing & logging
	-Hooks for Web-based end-user provisioning 
	-Web-based billing
	- Support for both IP and PSTN traffic
	
	There is obviously nothing by itself new or innovative on this
list but there are certain elements of our deployment that would make
the project unique.
	
	I have been looking at "conventional" commercial telephony
products but am intrigued by the Asterisk route.  It might meet the need
to be able to start small  for purposes of product development and
proof-of-concept deployment (e.g. for investors), and scale to small
carrier deployment from there.  From monitoring this list for a while I
also detect a lot of creative talent here.  (A lot of other stuff
too..heh.)
	
	It would be a deployment targeted to North American markets.
	
	Interested parties are invited to contact me off list.  Thank
you.
