Asterisk: Technology that Credit Unions should be adopting *now*…
Credit Unions seem to be really slow in adopting Open Source Software to reduce expenses & empower their members. To help address this, I’ve started putting together an “Open Source Technologies for Credit Unions: Best Practices” wiki. In the mean time, here’s something that Credit Unions should be using *NOW*:
AsteriskNOW™ is a Software Appliance; a customized Linux distribution that includes Asterisk®, the Asterisk GUI, and all other software needed for an Asterisk® system. The most popular open source IP PBX software, Asterisk®, can now be easily configured with a graphical interface. AsteriskNOW™ includes all the Linux components necessary to run, debug and build Asterisk®, and only those components, so installation is easy. You no longer have to worry about kernel versions and package dependencies. Unlike other Linux distributions used to deploy Asterisk, no unnecessary components that might compromise security or performance are included.
Asterisk® is a powerful open source telephone system for organizations. It’s been around for a while, is extremely stable and well supported, and is a great example of technology that empowers communities.
What other technologies should Credit Unions start adopting *now*?
