Mahmood,
Alas, the business case for open-source telephony solutions is not self-evident.
Of course
Excellent analysis, Jawaid.
I would add only that, in my opinion, a lot of the argument for open-source
related to control over one's destiny lies in APIs, connectors and integration
paths.
There are some value-added telephony services which rely heavily on these, so
there is a lot of

Hi Mahmood,
I think FOSS often trades licensing/purchase costs for operational costs.
Sure, the software is "free" but because such software is rarely an exact
fit for your use case off the shelf, you have to spend time (money) to:
customize for your operation
integrate into other operational
just to
ring a deskphone when someone calls you on Teams..

I think it’s misguided to approach FOSS as a cost savings move. Of course this
is an obvious benefit with the main easily detected benefit being the lack of
any cost for the software itself and no licensing / recurring license fees.

Of course, being invested in open-source, we'd all like to think so. But this
is a reflection of our own competencies.
