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>

<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>
