Elastix Business Edition Announced.
Next August 8th, we will release Elastix Business Edition, a solution that includes business productivity tools and integration with other systems.

EBE takes advantage of the WebRTC technology built into Elastix 4, including an elegant WebPhone embedded in the user interface as well as an improved contact interface, able to synchronize with systems like Google Contacts, MailChimp, or Dinomi CallCenter. Other features include website livechat with voice support, voice quality monitor, an enhanced Elastix endpoint configurator including more brands and models, security reports and more.

The release price of Elastix Business Edition will be $199 USD per year and the license will be valid for the entire server with 25 users or less. For servers with more than 25 users the price is $499 USD.

Yeah I am not sure that will be useful at all to any of our clients.

Um, fail. This feels like grasping. They didn't get Elastix 4 stable yet, so they are going to add cost and sucker people to pay before finding out that it's not ready for production use yet.

Adding MailChimp and other services into the bundle makes it "shiny."
