Digium Launches Digium|Asterisk Marketplace
Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today unveiled the “Digium|Asterisk Marketplace” to give the Asterisk community of end-users, developers, small businesses and enterprises a one-stop online destination for all their open source VoIP deployment needs. Located at http://www.digium.com/marketplace, the Digium|Asterisk Marketplace enhances Digium’s Technology Partners web portal to allow companies that are not yet Digium partners to advertise their products to the Asterisk ecosystem.
Visitors to the Digium|Asterisk Marketplace will be able to search the company listings by keyword to easily find Asterisk-compatible products such as phones, network infrastructure devices, and application software, as well as services such as VoIP and PSTN providers. The website opens up a new, direct line of communication between independent vendors of Asterisk-related products and the entire Digium|Asterisk ecosystem.
“The Digium website generates thousands of hits per day as Asterisk adoption continues to grow in business environments around the world,” said Jim Webster, director of technology partnerships for Digium. “We expect the Digium|Asterisk Marketplace to become a premier destination for companies evaluating and selecting offerings to help build complete Asterisk-based solutions. Digium is excited to be working with leading technology partners and vendors to make it easier than ever for businesses to create open source telephony solutions.”
Digium Partners receive prominent and prioritized Digium|Asterisk Marketplace listings as part of their partnership agreement. For vendors not otherwise affiliated with Digium, marketplace listings will be offered starting at $395 per quarter for a basic listing. During a special promotional period, listings will also be available starting at $795 for a full year. Companies interested in a listing can sign up directly on the Digium website, and upon approval of the application, have their listing posted within a few business days. Digium plans to continue to expand the capabilities and features of the Marketplace in the future.
