What are the Driving Forces for Open-Source Telephony?

Frost & Sullivan to Host Quarterly Analyst Briefing on the European Open Source Telephony Market on Wednesday, 26 March 2008

Frost & Sullivan will host a free telephone and web briefing on Wednesday, 26 March 2008, at 15.00 GMT to provide industry participants with an overview of the European Open Source Telephony Market.

Open source telephony market is no longer just a niche but it is evolving to become a competitor in the business telephony market. Open source telephony solutions are maturing and gaining acceptance and popularity, especially in the SMB segment as a cost-effective and feature full alternative.

“Getting buying organisations to demo open-source telephony remains a key challenge. As enterprises test and deploy these solutions, the broad skepticism wanes,” says Dorota Kosiel, Research Analyst for Frost & Sullivan’s Information & Communication Technologies group.

This briefing is based upon ongoing European Open Source Telephony Market analysis. The report provides an insight into the dynamics guiding this market, and includes market challenges, drivers, restraints and avenues of opportunity for growth. Highlights of the briefing include: discussion of major driving forces, analysis of target market and its needs, as well as coverage of key industry challenges.

The briefing will benefit component suppliers, distributors, VARs, traditional and open source telephony vendors by discussing emerging trends and providing forward projections for the European open source telephony market.
