Aspect Software

FROM TMC

Aspect Software (News - Alert), Inc., the world’s largest company solely focused on the contact center, today announced it will provide and support the Digium open source internet protocol (IP) PBX, the Asterisk Business Edition – a professional-grade version of the industry’s first open source IP –PBX – for customers of its Unified and Signature product lines. The Aspect Software packaged offering includes:

· The Asterisk Business Edition license,

· SIP phones (optional),

· Application servers and IP gateways (optional),

· Interoperability with Aspect contact center products,

· Installation and deployment of the solution, and

· Post-deployment support.

The increased adoption of session initiation protocol (SIP) and standards-based technology points to open source as an increasingly viable option. The early adopters of this technology have been drawn by the low cost, as well as the greater control and flexibility that open source telephony offers to companies.

“We recognized that organizations desire greater transport choices and our new open source IP PBX offering is one example of Aspect Software developing viable solutions to meet customer demands,” said Gary Barnett, chief technology officer and executive vice president of technical services at Aspect Software. “Asterisk Business Edition provides the capabilities and scalability required to address the needs of the dynamic contact center and when packaged with Aspect Software products, companies can now invest their limited resources in application innovation.”

The Asterisk Business Edition IP PBX provides tested reliability of critical functions and features and includes support and full documentation. Based on the Asterisk open source PBX, the product offers companies the same call handling capabilities expected of closed PBX systems, at a substantially reduced cost, including features such as switched or packet data and voice mail.

“Asterisk is enabling a new wave of businesses and developers to create solutions and applications for the phone system, in ways that are surprisingly similar to the early days of the personal computer,” said Mark Spencer, creator of Asterisk and president of Digium. “When proven leaders like Aspect Software, a dominating player in the contact center industry, join the revolution, that means a great deal for Asterisk and open source in general.”

Aspect Software has demonstrated interoperability between the Asterisk open source IP PBX and Aspect Uniphi Suite from the company’s Unified product line. Aspect has since expanded the number of Unified and Signature line of products that can interoperate with Asterisk, as well as established readiness for installation and ongoing support of the packaged offering through Aspect Global Services.

“Industry experts have acknowledged that the biggest obstacle to wide-spread adoption of open source applications has been installation and ongoing support. With Aspect Software deploying Asterisk Business Edition package, ensuring interoperation with our contact center solutions and offering post-implementation maintenance and support, companies are able to take advantage of the benefits of open source without the worry of disrupting service to customers,” said Barnett. “Now, there is nothing to stand in the way of companies being able to leverage the benefits that open source provides, including inexpensive voice transport.”

“In our view, the underlying PBX infrastructure is a commodity. It is only when our solutions are integrated with that infrastructure that a company can see the real value in their contact center,” said Barnett. “Think of a house. The plumbing is very important to the function of the house – but the type of plumbing installed isn’t a huge differentiator. It is the house and all it has to offer that really sells it to the buyer. The same is true with an IP PBX. Essentially, they all provide the same call handling capabilities and organizations are asking themselves why they should pay for a solution that they can get for little or no cost? It’s when packaged with unified, multi-channel contact center solutions that companies can see the real value and benefits.”

Free VoIP for a year

To kick off the end of the ViaTalk beta period, it is launching a three day promotional offer. If customers sign a one year contract they can get the second year free.

Linux Hosting for a Penny!

Linux Hosting Only 1p With Zen Internet


18 April 2006
Zen Internet, a leading UK business ISP (Internet Service Provider) has announced it will be running a promotion offering all new customers the opportunity to trial any Linux Web hosting package for only a penny.

The offer runs until Tuesday 16th May 2006 and applies across the entire range of Linux shared hosting packages. With only a one month minimum contract and free setup, the offer aims to promote Zen’s user experience without any obligation to commit to a longer term contract.

Customers can choose from five packages, each with their own unique proposition. These range from the “Bronze” package aimed at home users to the “Reseller”, aimed at Valued Added Resellers (VARs) looking to establish themselves as independent hosting providers. The Reseller option provides everything needed to allow organisations to add Web hosting to their existing portfolio, therefore increasing their business revenue.

All of the packages provide a complete range of features designed to guide users through every stage of their Web site development. From managing e-mail accounts to adding photo galleries and setting up shopping cart facilities, all can be achieved at the touch of a button.

James Steel, Hosting Product Manager, explained: “This promotion provides the ideal opportunity for us to demonstrate the confidence we have in our product set. Our shared Linux packages provide complete value for money and are affordable to both businesses and home users alike. In a marketplace where barriers to entry are low, even for the more established providers it is important to constantly exceed customer expectations and provide continued value for money.”

This promotion follows the official launch of the shared Linux range back in November 2005, all of which include the cPanel control panel that allows users to manage their Web sites from an easy to use and intuitive front-end application. Key features of the Linux hosting packages include a complete e-mail solution with anti-virus protection, detailed Web site statistics, site design wizards, FTP and database management alongside Zen’s first class customer support.

Zen’s success as a business ISP and UK hosting provider has been acknowledged by many awards and accolades over recent years. Most notably, Zen picked up 3 ISPA (Internet Service Providers’ Association) awards in February 2006, including the highly prestigious award for ‘Best Business ISP’.

Asterisk Recording Interface Security Bypass and Information

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in ARI (Asterisk Recording Interface), which could be exploited by attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information.The first issue is due to an error where the "includes/main.conf" file is accessible without authentication, which could be exploited by attackers to obtain sensitive information.The second flaw is due to an input validation error in the "misc/audio.php" file that does not validate the "recording" parameter, which could be exploited by attackers to gain access to arbitrary files (e.g mp3, wav or gsm).

More on the Linksys SPA941, 942, 922 and Beyond

The SPA-941 is a great example where a business class product can work equally as well for a home user that is looking for a more advanced set of features and customizability with their home VoIP service. Granted, you need to have a whole home network and run a dedicated VoIP PBX to truly take advantage of the full feature set. But isn’t that the goal of any home networking fanatic? The review points out a few interesting facts and flaws of the phone that make it good read. One gripe with the phone is that it only has a single Ethernet jack. This means that you either need a small hub or multiple ports wherever you install the phone if you want to keep the port available to other devices.

Linksys is most commonly known for its consumer oriented home networking gear but has started to move decidedly up-market with the Cisco acquisition. Recent introductions of GigE routers with advanced networking features and IP PBX solutions for small and home offices are clear indications that Linksys is hoping to drive additional product sales in these markets. The good news is that these products and services also drive advances into the consumer end as well. Hopefully we’ll see more advances out of this type of gear so that you don’t have to be a certified PBX installer to configure something like this for your home.

Unveiling the New snom 300

Available @

http://www.digiumcards.com/snom_300.html

Release of the New snom300

The new snom 300 is designed for different environments: for small offices, call centers, lobbies, recreation rooms, or in the home. The demands of everyday office communication can be easily managed through numerous telephone functions. The snom 300 has a headset connection and can be used as a freestanding or wall-mounted model.



A two-line graphical LCD display enables the display of call information, and the menu-driven user interface provides the simplest of feature management. Via the navigation key, the user is guided intuitively through the telephone menu. More complex telephone functions, call details and configuration possibilities are accessible via the browser over the connected PC. Six free user or administrator-configurable (or carrier-pre-configurable) function keys can be easily allocated to security-related menu functions, or assigned to multiple lines.



The snom 300 comes factory-equipped to enable two of its six programmable keys to be configured as line appearances, and snom provides upgrades that let you configure (up to) all six function keys in this way - flexible enough to suit the needs of every user. This option enables an individual adaptation of the device to specific areas of application and the personal user behavior - a functionality that is becoming increasingly popular, particularly in call centers and for sales agents.



As the snom 300 supports all of the common compression codecs such as G.729a and G.723.1, it is compatible with numerous components of other manufacturers and can be used in low-bandwidth environments. An integrated 2 Ethernet port switch enables connection to the network over an RJ-45 interface simultaneously with the PC connection!
