Fonality: Goodbye Open Source, Hello Cloud

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"Fonality is jumping off one bandwagon and leaping onto another. The company previously positioned itself as an open source IP PBX phone system provider. But going forward, Fonality is pitching itself as a leading provider of cloud-based phone systems and unified communications for small business. The repositioning also includes a recent CEO change. Here’s a look at Fonality’s new strategy, and the implications for VARs.

"At first glance, Fonality has enjoyed some solid success in the IP telephony market. The company’s Q4 2009 sales rose 20% vs. Q4 2008. Similarly, Fonality acquired 28% more customers in Q4 2009 vs. Q4 2008."
