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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV><FONT size=-1><FONT face=Arial>Thanks Seshu<BR>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.<BR>Regards<BR><BR></FONT></FONT>

[Asterisk-biz] Unified Message Platform<BR></FONT><BR></DIV><FONT
size=-1><FONT face=Arial>Hello<BR>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:<BR><BR>-Voice Mail with e-mail delivery<BR>-Auto-attendant<BR>-Fax
store and forward<BR>-Conferencing & logging<BR>-Hooks for Web-based
end-user provisioning <BR>-Web-based billing<BR>- Support for both IP and PSTN
traffic<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.)<BR><BR>It would be a deployment targeted to North American
markets.<BR><BR>Interested parties are invited to contact me off list.
Thank you.<BR></FONT></FONT>
