The end result was that the open standard surpassed
the proprietary standard in quality, usability, and value. The results are similar
as Asterisk has been adopted by a large development community, and resulted in
innovation and ease of use that has surpassed traditional technologies.
Every business (and for that matter, pretty much every home) needs a phone system
of some level. How to create a system, however, has historically been left to very
technical people (even originally in the case of Asterisk). AsteriskNOW?„?, a software
appliance which includes Asterisk as well as the AsteriskGUI?„?, was created in order
to lower the barrier to use and make setting up one's own phone system much less
daunting. In a world of GUI-oriented applications, it made sense to create a GUI
which could also be useful as well as inspire innovation and creativity.
The AsteriskGUI?„?, and the code beneath it, is unique compared to other GUIs used
in conjunction with Asterisk because the all important Asterisk configuration files
can be edited in both the GUI and the command line. Changes made to your IP PBX
via the GUI are reflected in the Asterisk configuration files, and vice versa. Thus a
novice user, as well as an experienced Asterisk programmer, can use AsteriskNOW
in ways that best suit their needs.
