Announcing the emergence of an enterprise-class open source IP PBX
Tapping into open source
Pingtel’s open source business model will prove to be a fundamentally disruptive
force in the
$5 billion per year enterprise PBX market. By offering enterprise-class, all
SIP-based, open source
IP PBX software under a Linux-style subscription license, Pingtel is combining the
best attributes
of open source development - low cost, adaptability and flexibility - with the
reliable solutions
and support enterprises require for voice applications. Pingtel’s open source IP PBX
software is the
linchpin technology that will catalyze the movement of enterprise communications into
the data
center and away from purpose-built hardware. Like enterprise-grade Linux, this
approach will drive
commoditization of traditional telephony hardware and software and eliminate
technology lock-ins
that have plagued the industry for decades. This new business model will lead to
pervasive adoption
and shift significant market share away from vertically integrated,
proprietary-solution
competitors.
