I’ve noticed some common mistakes from analysts when they review the CPaaS, UCaaS, and CCaaS market(s). Or the enterprise communications market (employee and customer) to take a customer-centric view. The mistakes stem from several sources: Grouping aggregators and CPaaS together as ‘CPaaS’ providers, it’s a bifurcated market, as explained in the simple programmable communications model, […]
Don’t panic! This year’s survey is much shorted than those of the past 🙂 Back in 2019 I created a survey to gather people’s experiences and opinions on using Open Source Telecom Software. I share an anonymized aggregate view of the survey with those that compete the survey as soon as I have the results […]
vCon is an open standard for conversation data. In December 2021 Thomas Howe, CTO of STROLID, introduced vCon. We have iCal that enables anyone to store and exchange calendaring and scheduling information such as events, to-dos, journal entries, and free/busy information. And vCards so anyone can store and exchange electronic business cards, name and address […]
This weblog provides a round-up of the main programmable communications headlines through 2021. It’s been another busy year. Identity verification keeps getting hotter and could enter a phase of industry convergence in 2022 between enterprise / web and programmable communications industries. We’re already seeing similar convergence from the cloud infrastructure providers like AWS, Microsoft and […]
The purpose of this survey is to gather your experiences and opinions in using Open Source Telecom Software, and share an anonymized aggregate result with those that compete the survey. I’ll also present a summary of the results at TADSummit EMEA / Americas in November 2021. This survey follows on from the surveys run in […]
The purpose of this article is to explain a simple model to understand the programmable communications market. I divide the market into 3 domains: Aggregation, Technology, and Applications. I’ve shown a number of similar frameworks in the past, see this one from TADSummit 2018 given during the State of the Union presentation. The reason I […]
Thank you to the OpenSIPS project and Ecosystem for inviting me to present at OpenSIPS Summit Distributed 2020. Below is a video of my presentation, as well as the slides. There are tens of successful Open Source Telecom Software projects, with vibrant communities supporting them. Asterisk, the most successful and longest running project is 20 […]
Please complete by Wednesday 12th August, thank you. The purpose of this Open Source 2020 Survey is to gather across the industry people’s experiences and opinions on using Open Source Telecom Software Projects (Projects), and share an anonymized aggregate result with those that compete the survey. I’ll also present a summary of the results at […]
It feels like the blink of an eye since I kicked off the Open Source Telecom Software Project Survey in May this year. I shared all the results immediately with everyone who contributed to the survey. This weblog presents the results with some analysis for everyone to see, as promised in my presentations at TADSummit Americas and TADSummit […]
This was my first Astricon in-person. I’d watched the videos and twitter stream remotely in the past. For reviews of Astricon by old-hands, rather than a newb, check out Fred Posner’s review and Dan Jenkin’s review. The power of any open source project is its community, together they make change happen in a market. The community is […]
