Hi List
I am working with a pilot project for a Norwegian regional government to
evaluate Asterisk for a large number of sites and users. The goal of the
project is to have a unified VoIP-system to replace the disorganized collection of legacy PBX in use today.
By "distributed organization" I mean an organization that consists of many, dispersed units, each with it's own existing telephony system, and with distinct number series.
The goals of a unified system are several: - Lower traffic cost through a common backbone between sites and a common exit-point to the PSTN (either via IP or legacy lines). - Lower admin cost through unified, centralized management. - Added value through rollout of applications (voicemail, conferencing, IVR) that become globally available in the system.
My main concern is manageability. From what I have seen of the available
management tools there are none that address the needs of a distributed system. They all seems aimed at the SMB market, and don't leverage resources such as LDAP directories.
Does anyone have any experience with management tools for Asterisk in a similar scenario?
I am also very interrested in getting in touch with people working in similar projects. There is a large political element in rolling out Open Source telephony on such a scale, and having a network of similar projects could be of great value. I hope to be able to post to this list on our progress.
Best regards -- Eivind Trondsen
