ISPBX launches Cogoblue asterisk configuration tool


If you thought configuring a Asterisk server was the most difficult task in your business model, think again. ISPBX has made it easier than ever with GUI based configuration management for easy installation and go LIVE.

Configuring a asteriks server is no easy game, it required a level of understanding and knowledge of Asterisk server management. However ISPBX launched a application called cogoblue which will allow even the novice users to play with asterisk configuration with a few mouse clicks.

Taking the UML approach in configuration management, Cogoblue works at GUI level with easy to use "drag-and-drop". This reduces the possibility of unintended results stemming from a "simple" change. This makes configuring a PBX system lot more user friendly and easy with little or no room for mistakes. If you little knowledge of object based modelling or UML or Use cases, CogoBlue should work just fine for you.

Cogoblue will be directly competing with Trixbox and Digium. Cogoblue will surely face stiff competition from these already established brands, however we find cogoblue feature rich and has enough potential to carve a niche, especially in a segment where time to market is low and doesn't have huge user experience at hand.

Of course the major market for Cogoblue is the dealers. It would be interesting to see how dealers take this up and deploy in live scenarios. Overall Cogoblue Asterisk configuration management has managed to put the open source power of Asterisk into the hands of even a non voip guru.
