Open Solutions

Telephony / VoIP

In today's world of custom database and web site development, businesses no longer believe and in fact tire of hearing that their expensive telephone systems can't do the things they want or need to add value to their business.

Open Solutions uses a software-based PBX system which directly addresses all of the problems with proprietary PBX systems and scratches that itch that your existing PBX cannot.

PBX Systems / Enterprise Telephony Systems

Open Solutions uses a software based PBX system to provide a fully featured PBX for to medium, large and specialised telephony businesses (from fifty to thousands of users).

Our PBX has all of the features of any and all commercial hardware PBX systems put together and more to boot. More importantly, our PBX systems are customised, extensible and programmable so we can add any feature your business might need now or in the future. Also, because it's software based, it's also future proof.

We're particularly interested in solving complex telephony problems such as large scale, multi site robust deployments with mixes of standard and new technologies that standard PBX systems cannot address.

Legacy PBX Migrations

Our software based PBX, Asterisk, can be used as a fantastic bridge between an old PBX and the future. Asterisk can be placed in front of your existing PBX as a gateway to new services and features. Old users can be migrated off the old PBX as needs dictate and new users can be added to either.

An Asterisk based PBX can also be put behind your existing PBX as a peripheral application server. You can even do both at the same time! An example is depicted below:


Using Asterisk is this manner allows you to continue to leverage your investment in your existing PBX system while offering a low-cost entry into VoIP telephony as well as the many additional features of Asterisk.
