SIPWorks is a full featured IP PBX software solution based on the popular Asterisk software. The software developers at ModernWorks have taken this open source product and have addressed a number of issues relative to providing a solution that meets the five nine’s (99.999% up time) reliability expectations of the Telecomm industry. As well significant steps have been taken to make the system scalable and very modular. This makes it ideal for both large onsite deployments as well as our Hosted PBX Service which is very affordable and ideal for new startup companies with limited budgets. SIPWorks runs comfortably on a conservative server class computer and uses telephones from a wide variety of manufactures built to support the SIP (session initiated protocol) standard. All this adds up to choice and competitive pricing for a solution that has all the features you would expect from very large and expensive traditional systems and a whole lot more.
Not since deregulation was introduced in Canada back in 1981 has the business community had so many new choices with respect to Voice Communications / Telephone industry. True Open Standards has Finally Reached the Telecommunications Industry.
Until recently, if your business required a new telephone system, you purchased a name brand product from a reputable local dealer. If at some later time you needed to expand the system you needed to purchase the hardware, software and possible licenses from the same manufacturer. This was proprietary equipment and was priced accordingly. Your only option was to talk to alternative dealers that were authorized to sell that manufactures product line.
Today it’s all about choice. The Telecomm industry has finally come of age. The same strategy that has long been accepted in the computer industry has finally been introduced and embraced by forward thinking manufactures producing products for the Telecomm industry. Due to industry established standards it is now possible to source resources from a variety of manufactures that all work and function well together. This is important in that it allows new products and services to be developed quickly and easily, from a variety of providers, while keeping the costs down due to this new level of competition.
Imagine buying a new system today, based on products currently available, and being able to expand the system some time in the future with products from a totally different manufacturer that were not available at the time of purchase but are now better suited for the task. By actively participating in discussion forums and development groups we are able to ensure that our customers are always able to take advantage of the very latest and most advanced technology available.
Not only has this new approach to producing software and hardware affected the manufactures but it has also brought new hope for companies looking for alternatives to doing business with the traditional telephone companies. It is no longer necessary to use telephone lines to bring dial tone into your place of business. Today there are a variety of ways, including Voice over IP (VoIP), to cost effectively connect your business to the rest of the world.
