Angus,
 
Iareanet platform is not IP Centric. It uses PSTN Interface for all the call services, using Interactive Intelligence Platform and a bunch of Cisco gear. Only the UAs are IP driven. Hence the call quality here is a lot better than pure IP Platforms.
 
I spoke to Mr.Rao of pandora networks and theu have a similar recipe for their applications, just to maintain the voice quality and more importantly to provide the FAX Transmit/receive services, which otherwise would not be easy to do on IP.
 
Just an FYI

Thanks Seshu
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.

Subject: [Asterisk-biz] Unified Message Platform

Hello
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:

-Voice Mail with e-mail delivery
-Auto-attendant
-Fax store and forward
-Conferencing & logging
-Hooks for Web-based end-user provisioning
-Web-based billing
- Support for both IP and PSTN traffic

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.

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.)

It would be a deployment targeted to North American markets.

Interested parties are invited to contact me off list.  Thank you.
