Many of you already noticed it yesterday, although we did not announced it formally. As promised, we have updated our demo server with Automation. You can access Automation in VoipNow (left menu).

Yes, Automation is 99% completed for the beta release. VoipNow Automation will be included in VoipNow 2.0.4 release and you will be able to activate it with the beta license key:
7 October 2009 – VoipNow Automation public demo
13 October 2009 – VoipNow Professional 2.0.4 release (comes with VoipNow Automation beta)
end of October 2009 – VoipNow Core 4Grid
VoipNow 2.0.3 was released, this is the first news. There are many bug fixes and also several interesting new features also. The next version of VoipNow will be 2.0.4, which is a minor release that will include VoipNow Automation. Speaking of Automation it is still not releasable, but we are making progresses with every day passed. The next major version of VoipNow will be VoipNow 2.1.0 and it’s scheduled for end of Q4 2009.
The idea is very simple, we want to provide you with faster updates. For example, when we release a product update, we announce it, but also add a small article on Twitter. This way if you follow us on Twitter you will know first
I am constantly monitoring our Help Desk tickets. I am looking for improvement ideas, common mistakes (for example if many people make the same mistake, we must change something in the product) and generally anything that can improve our products and services.
That’s why I was able to discover some surprising things, one of the most important in my perspective being related to our customer’s education related to production systems management. I will discuss about VoipNow, because it’s more complex, but everything below can be considered best practice (in my opinion, of course).
For the past weeks the blog has been quiet. We didn’t want to shut it down or reduce it to silence, but we have worked a LOT. We’ve worked on many levels – not only on product development, but also on related things that will help sustain our company’s development. Many changes were based on your feedback, thank you for sending them to us. You will see a lot of interesting stuff in the next period 🙂
We reached that development stage when we add new payment plugins to VoipNow Automation. Please comment with the name of the payment gateway you want supported. Right now we support Paypal, Cybersource, Authorize.net, Psigate, Payflowpro. Do not forget to include a link to the vendor website.
Thanks!
Essentially VoipNow Desktop packages in the same installer our VoipNow Browser modules for IE and Firefox (actually some improved versions, right now on version 2) with a modified version of the Open Source Outcall and TAPI driver for Asterisk.
Question: Do you want to have a professional presentation website for your VoIP services?
Yes, I am dreaming about this!
Question: Do you want to be able to deploy this website in minutes?
This is not possible! But if I do, a lot of customers will sign-up and I will have to spend my entire day creating accounts!
Solution! You can hire a monkey to create accounts (how difficult could it be…).
Question: How do you charge these customers every month?
Solution! Hmm, you can hire another monkey to search customer accounts and charge them.
Question: But what if you reach 10,000 customers?
Solution! You can hire 50 monkeys!
If you do not want to end surrounded by monkeys, learn more about VoipNow Automation.
You can subscribe to the free presentation webinar, there are only two weeks left.
With VoipNow 2.0.2 we are focused on fixing bugs that were discovered on VoipNow 2 branch and that could not have been solved on VoipNow 2.0.1 due to various reasons (usually due to major impact). We also improved system performance and improved interoperability.
