Asterisk solution recommended by expert

The implementation of Asterisk Solution Provider has been endorsed by Nox Rentals after the company implemented the software to route calls on its business unit.

As reported by Techtonic.com, a private and guesthouse accommodation service provider found the Asterisk Solution Provider to offer a more cost effective method of routing calls to a separate business unit operating through the same switchboard.

Company managing director Richard Marshall commented that the solution was adopted by the company in order to have the technology to differentiate incoming calls between each business.

With 90 per cent of the company's clients based overseas, the low cost of international calls brought by the open source VoIP PBX solution drastically cut call costs, he is quoted by the website as commenting.

"I have full control of the system, which means that should the company require additional features - above and beyond the existing voicemail, voice menus, IVR [interactive voice response] and teleconferencing - these can be added rapidly and with minimal effort," Mr Marshall added.

Asterisk internet protocol telephony currently has over one million users, according to Cincom Systems.
