While this sounds like a riotously inefficient use of hardware per unit of telephony realised, such inefficiency is not inherent to proprietary systems, nor are superior unit economics inherent to open-source. What you're using sounds like it's just bad, assuming that hardware is truly necessary and isn't just massively overprovisioned. If you're going to make the argument that you should switch to something less OPEX-intensive, I don't know that I would base it on the mere fact that the proposed alternative is open-source. > To put this into perspective, to integrate the telephony system with MS Teams > it will cost 70,000$ USD just for installation and basic configuration just > to ring a deskphone when someone calls you on Teams.. Maybe, but--and this is a mere hypothetical, I have no way of knowing--the cost in fully burdened engineer compensation to implement all those things yourself might be quite a lot more than $70K. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov Principal Consultant Evariste Systems LLC Web: https://evaristesys.com Tel: +1-706-510-6800 __________________________________________________________ Kamailio - Users Mailing List - Non Commercial Discussions To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Important: keep the mailing list in the recipients, do not reply only to the sender!
