Asterisk Software is Tool for Creating Open Source PBX

"Hot debates are often made on use of proprietary versus open source software. Asterisk software is a useful tool for creating open source PBX for those who prefer open source system."
 
Whether open source or proprietary PBX should be used in an enterprise is a subject matter of hot debates. However there is no dearth of people who prefer the open source system rather than the proprietary ones. In any case; most of the companies are looking forward for replacement of their old and obsolete phone systems with either of the alternative or VoIP reseller systems. Asterisk software offers for them the opportunity of doing so.

A Lot at Stake

Of course a businessman will have a lot at stake while opting for either of the systems. Many multinationals earn huge money from the PBX systems. Dell’Oro group for example estimated it to be$7.5 billion in 2011. In contrast the traditional PBX system has dropped down to just 5% of the market share from the huge 85% that they held way back in 2002.

Making the Decision

It is for the entrepreneurs to decide which of the two systems they are going to adopt. Options before them are –

•    Going for the tested and trusted but steadily turning obsolete traditional PBX system; or
•    Taking a flier and turning to the new VoIP reseller or PBX systems run with Asterisk software.

Absence of Full Features

Only drawback that the entrepreneurs opting for the VoIP systems may encounter is the absence of complete set of features that he or she might be looking for. Yet whatever is available is much better, faster, steadier, and less expensive in comparison to traditional analog system.

It Will Take Time

Of course; it will take some time before the full features are available or the VoIP completely replaces the traditional system.

•    However the steady growth of companies like Digium that sales asterisk software based PBX systems may be an indicator of things to come in the future;
•    There is still a cultural bias among the IT companies and mobile telephony providers in respect to the open source technologies as has been happening with LINUX; and
•    Once the market gets over this perception problem, things might become easier as well as rosier for open source systems based on asterisk software.

From the market trends; the day does not seem far away.
