Bangalore: Astecs, a Bangalore based Telecom Technology and solutions company today announced that it would offer Asterisk based telephony solutions, an open source development with powerful features like IVR, Voicemail, Call conferencing and is open to compete with established players like Avaya, Siemens and many more.
Astecs would primarily offer Asterisk based telephony solution and completely configured product bundles for 100 users onwards, which could be readily deployed at customers premises. The well-qualified technical team will provide support, right from installation, configuration to upgrades. The sales team would also offer training and toolkits to the resellers and accompany them to the customer's premises for live on-the-call training.
Despite being a powerful IP PBX, AsteriskTM lags in mass penetration due to the absence of ecosystem comprising of Marketing/Sales tools, Positioning, Product bundles and Technical support.
"*Astecs primary objective is to create an ecosystem and enable the channels to achieve a mass penetration for AsteriskTM," said Devasia Kurian, Managing Director, *Astecs. Our objective is to tap the larger share of the Indian PBX market in the near future, he added.
