>>James Passingham: There's a number of reasons that businesses
might choose Asterisk over a proprietary vendor solution. First of all it's not the proprietary.
This means we don't suffer from vendor lock-in and the customer is free to choose between
different hand set manufacturers and different software that the system can integrate with.
Secondly and importantly, because its based on an open-sourced solution, it's royalty
free. And this means that systems that are delivered by Foehn are based on a very different
cost paradigm. We can integrate very easily with customer's business systems, and it's
very easy for us to make modifications to enhance this functionality.
It's different to a traditional vendor, which offers a solution on a prescale model. Typically
you would buy a solution may be based for fifty users, and when you hit your fifty-first
user, you're forced to upgrade. At Foehn, we believe that the system should be bought
that should scale with your business needs.
