Digium® Sees Continued Growth of its Switchvox® Unified Communications Solution in 2010

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today announced that Switchvox, the company's turnkey voice over IP unified communications solution designed for small- to mid-sized businesses, grew more than 30 percent in 2010, making it the company's fastest growing solution. Switchvox, which is based on Asterisk, the world's most popular open source telephony engine, provides enterprise-class features at a price businesses can afford. New features included integrated iPhone and BlackBerry mobile applications.

The beginning of 2010

At the beginning of 2010, Digium released enhancements to Switchvox, bringing many of the benefits of Switchvox from the existing web interface to the handset. For the first time, users were able to access call recording, visual voicemail, a searchable company directory and call parking lots, right from the phone handset. The Switchvox 4.5 capabilities provided language support and GUI localization for UK English, Italian, Castilian Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.

Later in the year, Digium extended key functionality to smartphones with its free Switchvox Mobile applications that seamlessly integrate the Switchvox phone system with the iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Along with these significant new features and business benefits, customer productivity gains and cost savings contributed to Switchvox's continued growth.

"We're very pleased, at the current rate of growth we're experiencing on our Switchvox business," said Leslie Conway, vice president of global marketing at Digium. "We understand that businesses have to be smart with their expenditures and select phone systems that deliver the most value. It is critical that their system not only serves their needs today, now also provides the flexibility to grow with them tomorrow. Switchvox does this and more."
