I have worked with and deployed Asterisk as well as Cisco Call Manager with Meeting Place. Both are very capable products with voice mail delivery to email, which I am currently using with Asterisk to Scalix.
I have found the Cisco CM & Meeting Place in conjunction with Exchange a very useful tool(s) for collaboration, far beyond voice mail email to a user.
I would love to see similar possibilities with Asterisk and Scalix (Unified Messaging). Even just a small subset, such as click to talk on contacts or 10 digit numbers and schedule future meetings with several contacts within Scalix via email and/or calendar. The ROI would be significantly greater considering the deployment cost of a Cisco CM, Unified Meeting Place and Exchange solution.
I think I heard some noise on this with Zimbra and Asterisk. But being a Scalix users with time invested in a current working solution that I am very happy with, I would like to hear some of that noise over here.
This is the future of “Collaborationâ€
