Hi, all. I've done some Asterisk recelling, but recently got roped into a
Sr. SysAdmin position. Our PBX is c. 1823, and -- well, as pretty much
all circuit-based systems do, it sucks. It sucks to administer, moves
suck... you know the drill. So, I'd love change to an Asterisk system.
My boss, who loves to spend money for no particular reason, wants to go
proprietary, though. So I'm going to have to try to sell him. I figured
one place to start would be some of the really cool applications that
Asterisk has that -- generally, at least -- don't require licensing. Some
of my favorites are follow-me, meetme, voicemail-to-e-mail and
fax-to-e-mail. What are some of your favorite features/applications, be
ith native or third-party?
Thanks,
-Ken

The fact that it is so amazingly configurable should be enough

I love writing dialplan, using vi.
Does that make me weird?

I simply love vi, to the point which if an IDE doesn't have vi key
bindings I loath using it.

Asterisk really comes into it's own with cute scripts that can do almost
anything with ridiculous ease. One of the things I've done with a
number of Asterisk machines is to put in a script that downloads the
latest weather forecast and reads it back to you using a TTS engine.

You know full well I'm not related to you - I just work with you.

We moved from a Cisco Call Manager about 2.5 years ago to Asterisk. One
of the hurdles I had was that the Call Manager had a receptionist panel
so they could see who was on the phone, transfer calls, etc...
I set up a demo of of the Flash Operator Panel and it alleviated that
sticking point. It's a little slower than an executable would be, but
it's web based and flash so it's runs on just about every browser and OS.
You can even do some slick things like pop up windows in the browser to
provide information about who is calling. Works good for a CMS system
where a customer service rep can automatically be shown information
about the customer who is on the line.

You should state what the phone system will be used for. If it's
primary mean of making business - you can do some really amazing stuff
with integrating Asterisk with your own services. Let's say - identify
your own customers, keep track of which customer called you and when,
keep call recordings in customer's profile, have popups that will open
customer's profile upon phone ring. Then you cold take a quick read of
profile and answer the phone "Hello John, you want to order another
Chili Pizza?"
It would need some programming, but this is the best thing about
Asterisk - there's no limitation as it is for black-boxed systems.
