VoIP isn’t popular enough yet for me to say that it’s basking in its fifteen minutes of fame, but so what if it isn’t? It’s accomplished other things in the fifteen minutes time span – like EasySpeak.
Simicomm – a provider of hassle free VoIP solutions for small and medium sized businesses – has announced the release of EasySpeak PBX – a software based low-cost VoIP PBX. EasySpeak can be completely installed and be up ready to run in only 15 minutes, thus earning it the nickname ‘EasySpeak 15-minute VoIP.’
Specifically designed for enterprises without the technical abilities to implement and maintain phone systems, EasySpeak provides companies with a low cost, reliable solution to migrate slowly into a VoIP infrastructure. Based on the Asterisk open source PBX, EasySpeak works with both VoIP and analog phones (a line card is required to use analog phones), and even though it’s made for small and medium sized businesses, it contains the features of high-end solutions – Auto Attendant, Web Access to Voicemail, Music-on-Hold, Blind Transfer, T-38 Fax support, Call Forward/Forward on Busy, Call Parking, Call Queuing, Call Routing (DID & ANI), Call Transfer, Call Waiting, Caller ID, Caller ID Blocking, Caller ID on Call Waiting, Roaming Extensions, Assisted Transfer, Three-way Calling and high-end Voicemail functionality.
Now that’s a whole lot of bunch if I ever saw one. Kudos for EasySpeak. And double kudos because it’s only a 300 MB file, and a 14-day trial version is available for download from SimiComm . Once you download the file, burn it on a CD, load the disk on a server, plug the phone and internet lines into the Ethernet ports, and that’s it, you’re done! A virtual PBX system set up in less than 15 minutes!
We recognize there are many solutions targeting small businesses, said Dennis Barnum, CEO of Simicomm. 'Our goal was to create something that removes the complexity for a non-technical audience and make it affordable.'
Of course, the best part of the EasySpeak is that it’s completely software based. Apart from a line card for analog phones, there is absolutely no need to purchase any external hardware. The software handles everything, including automatically registering and assigning extensions in the order they are connected. A web-based toolbox allows for changing of extensions and management of other features.
Like I said earlier, a 14-day trial version is available for download from SimiComm. If you’re thinking of getting the trial version though, you better act fast as it’s available for download for a limited period only. The clock’s ticking…
