So, I started, learned and understood it and waited for my chance.
Approximately six months later, the company had got involved in an SMS-based
Callback solution. The initial solution was based on a Cisco AS5300 gateway, which
was outsourced from another company for the duration of the development. Once
the development had finalized, the company wanted to start the service based on
the Cisco equipment only to realize that the cost of building the system would never
sustain the projected business model. At that point, I saw the opportunity to take
Asterisk and adapt the code base to use Asterisk instead of using a Cisco gateway.
I took it up to modify the code along with another programmer. The development
and modifications lasted about four weeks, and we got the same functionality using
Asterisk??”the date was early 2003. The new development was able to sustain the
business model, which then evolved into a fully operational SMS callback service.
Since then, I've developed various platforms based upon the Asterisk open-source
project. I've established the Israeli Asterisk?„? users group community, held the first
Israeli Asterisk?„? convention, and most importantly, was co-founder of Atelis plc,
which is now traded on the London stock exchange (AIM: ATEL).
