[VoiceOps] Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft

[Max Clark]

Colton,

Are you on a hosted/white label Broadsoft installation or do you own your
own license? I'm curious because I assume that you have a significant
investment in your current platform and dumping that investment would
require an even larger investment in another platform (not counting the
training, migration, etc...). Metaswitch for example is a fantastic
platform, but I don't know of any installation running it for less than
$250k.

I get the idea of switching from Broadsoft to have service differentiation,
but I'd counter with two points. 1) Everyone is using Broadsoft because it
works, and 2) if you switch to another licensed platform you'd still be
competing with other providers using that platform.

So if you are really looking for a unique one of a kind platform you'd
probably be better served by rolling your own and partnering/paying Sprint
for their WMI platform for your mobile needs.

Max
