It’s been a roller coaster ride working alongside the guys at Unified FX. Their PhoneView application allows remote management of entire estates of Cisco IP Telephones through a very interactive interface where you can take screen shots of the phone’s display. Sounds simple? The guts behind the application requires a great deal of knowledge of the finer points of Cisco’s telephone management software – need I say more?
What has been fascinating is how the power of viral marketing has been demonstrated through the volume of interest and the hundreds of downloads that have been going on in just the last few days. The Cisco CCIE community has identified the application as “the hottest IP telephone remote control and estate management tool on the market today” (See Vik Malhi’s blog) and that, quite simply, did the trick.
What a fantastic way to build up a great contact list, full of exactly the people that you want singing the praises of your application. The interest has already been picked up by some eye watering commercial and government organisations world-wide all of whom need to get to grips with managing tens of thousands of telephone handsets. You wouldn’t believe the Webex sessions we’ve been having!
