VoIP & Gadget News – Digium|Asterisk World Returns to ITEXPO

TMC and Digium, the Asterisk Company, today announced that Digium|Asterisk World is returning to ITEXPO, February 2-4, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Asterisk is the world’s most widely used open source communications software, and the Digium|Asterisk World event helps the entire Asterisk community learn how to create more flexible and powerful telephony solutions.

Open Source Communications solutions currently account for more new phone lines than any single conventional PBX or key system manufacturer. While Open Source communications software can be free of charge, it creates significant revenue opportunities for businesses that install Open Source PBXs, and provide GUIs, PBX appliances, gateways, and other related services. Digium|Asterisk World identifies these opportunities and covers the full spectrum of issues related to Asterisk-based, Open Source Telephony.

The conference content at Digium|Asterisk World will also reveal how open source solutions are being deployed in call centers; cloud computing solutions; and numerous government, enterprise, and carrier applications. Additional sessions will identify opportunities for the entire Asterisk ecosystem. TMC will publish a complete list of conference tracks and sessions in the weeks ahead.

This year’s Digium|Asterisk World to feature three conference tracks: Cloud Solutions, Infrastructure Solutions and Reseller. Conference sessions include:

- Asterisk SCF overview and planned capabilities
– Asterisk virtualization for cloud services
– Cloud application designs using Asterisk
– Contact center cost reduction via Asterisk
– Asterisk Infrastructure ROI case studies
– Automated service provisioning for fault-tolerance using Asterisk
– What’s coming from SwitchVox in 2011

“Hosting Digium|Asterisk World at ITEXPO East 2011 allows us to share the vision and power of Asterisk with a wide community of developers and carriers – even some who are not completely familiar with open source,” said Mark Spencer, CTO and founder of Digium, and the creator of Asterisk.

“The upcoming Digium|Asterisk World will help developers, resellers, and anyone interested in Asterisk learn more about the opportunities emerging today. It will provide the hands-on training needed to capitalize on these opportunities”, he continued.
