</div>There was at Sam Houston Stat University in Texas, but they have since<br>
transitioned to a Cisco Call Manager system...essentially reversing<br>
their earlier migration.<br>
<br>
I gather that this decision was driven by changes in their staffing and<br>
epecially the loss of key staff knowledgable in the ways of Asterisk.</blockquote><div><br>Are those staffing changes the consequence of issues in Asterisk deployment or is it the opposite (the new staff members that decided to change back to CCM) ?<br>
<br>Given the cost of reverting to CCM, that would be strange Sam Houston Stat University in Texas prefers to roll back to CCM instead of finding appropriate support suppliers.<br><br>Maybe actors are still reading this list and could tell more about it.<br>
<br>I know these days, it's easier to get hudge bargains from vendors ...<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
