Call routing streamlines communication across multiple locations
In my opinion, some of the most valuable features with this product are that it is very extensible. You can configure a lot of it because it is open source, so you can work around the configurations you desire. It is a very flexible application, so you can personalize configuration for customers. Another valuable aspect is the modules that you can add. Its modularity helps as you can purchase modules through the Sangoma portal. You can purchase modules for endpoint manager, call center, and call center queue wallboard. With this module, you can supervise and get analytics on all of your call center queues that you are running currently. It is a very extensible solution.
