In other words these systems are simply a new wrapper on the same &#8216;ole thing.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly I was expecting to see YAOS when I heard that snom had released a VoIP PBX. The <strong>snom One<\/strong> as it is called was announced earlier today and was touted as a simple and affordable VoIP PBX for the small medium business.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Sure it comes packed with everything that pretty much every other system on the planet has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hot desking<\/li>\n<li>Voicemail to e-mail<\/li>\n<li>Call screening<\/li>\n<li>Call redirection<\/li>\n<li>Presence and monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Simultaneous ringing of cell phones and snom phones<\/li>\n<li>Extension specific dial plan, time zone and language support<\/li>\n<li>Multiple extension alias names, ANI assignments<\/li>\n<li>Centralized Address Book<\/li>\n<li>Secure Web Access<\/li>\n<li>Shared Line emulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oh and it&#8217;s available in three different versions &#8211; Free, Yellow and Blue depending on the number of extensions you need.<\/p>\n<p>All of which is pretty standard fare.<\/p>\n<p>But there was one thing that caught my eye that totally gives snom a unique competitive differentiator that is likely to be very popular with businesses of all sizes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The snom ONE software works with multiple different operating systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not talking about multiple different Linux operating systems. I&#8217;m talking about the <strong>snom ONE<\/strong> working on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Linux<\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Windows<\/span> and even the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MAC OS<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>That means if your business is a Windows house, you don&#8217;t have to learn Linux or worry about supporting a siloed system. Same goes for those businesses &#8211; like marketing\/design firms &#8211; that are most often &#8220;MAC houses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This makes the technology so much more accessible and fills a hole in the marketplace for the demand for Windows and MAC based VoIP PBX systems. An opportunity within the marketplace that continues to grow as more and more mainstream businesses make the switch to VoIP.<\/p>\n<p>Now I haven&#8217;t had a chance to play with <strong>snom ONE<\/strong> yet.\u00a0 So I can&#8217;t comment on anything outside of a feature list and it&#8217;s availability for multiple operating systems, but if the <strong>snom ONE<\/strong> is engineered and designed like the rest of the snom line I&#8217;m smelling a winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been following along for any amount of time you know that I generally find most new VoIP PBX announcements to be rather ho-hum.
