does that too. How about a replacement for your aging legacy voicemail
system? Can do. Unified messaging? No problem. Need a telephony
interface for your web site? Ok.

Asterisk has been adopted by call centers around the world based on its
flexibility. Call center and contact center developers have built complete
ACD systems based on Asterisk. Asterisk has also added new life to
existing call center solutions by adding remote IP agent capabilities,
advanced skills-based routing, predictive and bulk dialing, and more.
