“In an era of dynamic Web apps, phone infrastructure has been stuck in the last century: capital-intensive, hard to automate, and even harder to scale. With Cloudvox, if you can sketch it, you can build it,” said Troy Davis, CEO of Seven Scale, the company behind Cloudvox.
How does Cloudvox make building phone apps as simple as building web apps?
Cloudvox uses “Telephony in the Cloud,” an entirely web based infrastructure. Developers can build phone applications by customizing Cloudvox’s “phone building blocks” to match their own needs.
Why Open Source?
- By using familiar platforms, such as Asterisk, developers require little technical expertise.
- Developers can get phone applications up and running in a short time. See Thomas Howes’ Blog about his experiences with the ease of quickly building apps on Cloudvox.
- Businesses can integrate their new apps into any existing phone infrastructure. In contrast, Tropo offers a cloud-based API platform, but because of its proprietary nature, it only runs on Voxeo, its parent company.
- All open standards are free, so businesses can run phone apps on Cloudvox for minimal cost.
