thirdlane

Thirdlane PBX is a complete software PBX combining Asterisk, Thirdlane PBX Manager GUI and other components into a powerful system that is easy to install, customize and manage.

Customers can choose their own hardware, phones and install and configure PBX in minutes. Advanced features include bulk generation of user extensions and template based auto-provisioning, extensible script library, performance analysis tools and Outlook integration.

Unlike other systems that put a “straight-jacket” on the power and flexibility of Asterisk Thirdlane PBX enhances it by providing powerful and user friendly management tools.

While offering powerful management and end-user functionality straight out-of-the-box, Thirdlane PBX focuses on providing system administrators, resellers, or integrators with an open system that can be further extended and enhanced with custom features based on each business' requirements.

With Thirdlane PBX, any organization can create an PBX at a fraction of the cost of traditional PBXs or competitive VoIP based products, while providing a level of functionality exceeding that of many of the most costly systems available. Advantages of Thirdlane PBX:

Ease of installation. Thirdlane PBX can be installed in minutes - all the required components are included.
Open management. All the configuration information created by PBX Manager is stored in text files in a standard Asterisk format, helping system administrators familiar with Asterisk to diagnose and troubleshoot any configuration issues.
Fast PBX configuration. System wide templates and bulk provisioning of user extensions and related devices greatly reduce PBX configuration time.
Unmatched flexibility in extending the system through Thirdlane PBX’s unique, script-based approach. Thirdlane PBX's Script Library (shipped as Open Source) can be extended by users to include unlimited new PBX features.
Open auto-provisioning. PBX Manager comes with templates for Aaastra, Cisco, Linksys, Polycom and Snom phones and ATAs. VARs and system integrators can easily add templates to support additional devices.
Higher Performance. Thirdlane PBX uses Asterisk dialplan commands only - no proprietary AGI scripts - the dialplan is open and there is less load on the system.
Remote multi-site management. By using PBX Manager multi-site features VARs, system integrators and administrators can easily monitor and manage multiple servers and support geographically distributed clients.
Ease of operation. No special knowledge of Linux or Asterisk is required for day-to-day operations, so the management functions can be performed by regular staff.
End user support. User Portal enables end users to manage their own settings including access to directory, voice mail, call logs, call forwarding, follow-me, call screening and recording.
