Neophonetics delivers UM platform, on Asterisk

Although much less visible in the last few months, Asterisk and the Asterisk community continues to chug along, demonstrating the tremendous value that open source telephony solutions bring. For instance, just this past week at IT Expo, Neophonetics announced a unified messaging platform based on Asterisk Business Edition, including:
- Multi-tenant voicemail for one telephone or one telephone extension
- Voicemail to email
- Voicemail to paging
- Call forwarding
- SMS messaging
- Message waiting indicator
- Distinctive rings for multi-tenant telephones
- Automated system and voicemail configuration
- Voicemail groups
- Web-based end user portal
Fabulous. Even more interesting was the fact that Neophonetics chose to market a product based on Asterisk that would be an add-on to existing PBX systems rather than a replacement, adopting a business strategy much more friendly to the incumbent PBX players.
