Digium and Asteria Solutions Group Extend Partnership

Digium Premier Software Partner creates telephony software and custom solutions
based on open source Asterisk platform
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(Business Wire)--
Digium, Inc., the Asterisk Company, and Asteria Solutions Group, a developer of
solutions based on the open source Asterisk telephony platform, today announced
the renewal of the two companies` partnership. Asteria has been a Digium Premier
Software Partner since 2007 and has contributed to Asterisk since Asteria`s
founding in 2004. The company provides software that works with Asterisk,
including OmegaDial, the Web-based autodialer for high-volume call campaigns,
and also draws upon its deep knowledge of Asterisk to create custom telephony
solutions to meet unique business requirements.

Digium offers a wide range of Asterisk-based software, appliances and hardware
that enable service providers, resellers, integrators and businesses to quickly
implement turnkey telephony systems or, for customers who want a tailored
solution, to design specialized voice over IP (VoIP) systems.

In addition to the OmegaDial autodialer, Asteria provides the Assist interface
for call center agents and INsight queue management system. Asteria`s software,
combined with its consultants` knowledge of Asterisk and telephony, Linux,
customer relationship management (CRM) applications, Web development and
database technology, allow the company to create custom telephony solutions for
organizations of all sizes.

"Our five-year relationship with Digium has been very rewarding," said David
Mattern, vice president of business development for Asteria. "Renewing as a
Premier Software Partner demonstrates our commitment to Digium and the Asterisk
community. We look forward to continuing this synergistic relationship."

"Our strong relationship with Asteria is based on the company`s demonstrated
expertise in creating software applications that build on the Asterisk
platform," said Jim Webster, director of technology partnerships at Digium. "As
more companies look for cost-effective phone systems that integrate with other
business software, we think that demand for the type of products and services
provided by Asteria will continue to rise."
