Steve Harder, FTS IT Manager
Steve Harder, FTS IT Manager
FTS, a billing software company with several international branch locations, wanted to move from a traditional PBX shared among many companies to their own VoIP-enabled system.
The main challenge was to have a seamless transition to the new PBX with minimal downtime.
FTS turned to Smartbase, their IT consultants, who recommended the Xorcom XR3000. FTS notes:
"The customization possibilities of the system are vast and unlimited in many aspects."
"Saving money was felt in the first month as we were able use the phones in our branch offices via the LAN free of charge."
"Our IT staff loves the new system as it gives us the flexibility to manage and create new features as needed; configuring users and extensions, as well as backup and recovery of configurations, is simple and fast." Read more about this case study and more.

GREAT ALTERNATIVE FOR PURCHASING G.729 CODEC

"Howlet" from Howler Technologies Confirmed Interoperable with Xorcom PBX
Alternative Source for G.729 CodecHowlet allows Xorcom integrators to avoid the responsibility of paying the license fee for the Open Source version of the G.729 codec (for which initial license fees are approximately $25,000 - $30,000), since Howlet is GPLv2 compliant and includes the G.729 Patent Royalty. It supports our standard software platforms - Asterisk, Elastix and trixbox - out-of-the-box, so implementation is a breeze.
Howler has set up a special pricing wizard for Xorcom on their Web site. For implementation guidelines, see our G.729 white paper.
