Digium(R) Switchvox SMB 3.5 Awarded "Best of Show" at ITEXPO West 2008

Posted on: Tuesday, 23 September 2008, 12:00 CDT

Digium(R), Inc., the Asterisk(R) Company, announced today that Switchvox SMB 3.5, the latest version of the most widely used telephony system based on Asterisk, has received the "Best of Show Award" in the "Best of Open Source" category at Technology Marketing Corporation's INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and EXPO West 2008. Asterisk is the open source project created and maintained by Digium.

Switchvox 3.5 provides a full-featured telephony system that integrates with key CRM applications such as Salesforce.com and SugarCRM through Switchvox's SMB Switchboard interface. Switchvox delivers the benefits of integrating voice with data by enabling customers to create custom mashups that leverage other Web applications in seconds, with no programming knowledge required. Additionally, the product equips small, midsize and growing businesses with a telephony solution that costs a fraction of the price of proprietary phone systems.

"The presence of outstanding companies like Digium with their award winning solutions help to validate ITEXPO's status as the leading forum for the VoIP and IP communications industry," said TMC President and Conference Chairman Rich Tehrani. "Service providers, enterprise buyers, developers, and resellers come to ITEXPO because they know they'll find solutions from innovative companies like Digium that can help their businesses today."

"This 'Best of Show' award highlights what many companies that have adopted Switchvox have already learned: Switchvox is the best choice on the market for a feature-rich, easy-to-use, inexpensive IP phone system," said Tristan Degenhardt, Switchvox product line director at Digium.

The INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO "Best of Show" Award recognizes innovative products and solutions that were featured in the Exhibit Hall during the event. This designation serves to highlight the technological achievement and creative product features that set these winners apart from the rest of the crowd. INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine editorial staff evaluated the pre-show nominations and met with vendors to inspect and review the displayed products on the first day of the Expo. A full list of the winners is posted on TMC's Web site at www.tmcnet.com.

The next INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO will take place Feb. 2-4, 2009, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, in Miami, Florida. For information, visit www.itexpo.com or call (203) 852-6800 ext. 146.
