January 6, 2005

In what may be the most amazing CRM announcement of all time, FreeCRM.com claims to have taken over the number one spot in hosted CRM. This relatively new company, FreeCRM, has done what seems undoable. What is not clear is who their customers are. Are they using the software or have they merely signed these people up?

I think their site has some technical issues so apologies if you get a Front Page error. Please tell them, not me.

VoIP and Consumer Electronics Blur

January 6, 2005

The line between what we call the VoIP industry and consumer electronics blurred further this morning with the announcement of Uniden entering the VoIP market, more specifically WiFi telephony otherwise known as wireless VoIP. According to Uniden: The Uniden UIP1868 is a 5.8GHz digital expandable cordless phone with built-in VoIP adapter, expandable up to ten handsets, allowing consumers to experience the extended features, convenience and affordability of VoIP communication in every room of their homes.
My prediction of the iPOD like VoIP consumer electronics device may become a dream if there are now dozens of WiFi telephony phones available now but then again there were dozens of MP3 players around before Apple invented the iPOD and somehow companies like Creative Labs (I am certainly dating myself... They are just called Creative these days) are playing catch-up in a market they used to dominate.

Minnesota State now a VoIP User?

January 5, 2005

Minnesota, the state that made trying to tax and regulate VoIP famous is now becoming a big benefactor of the technology. Perhaps the early interest in using VoIP is what made them decide to regulate it in their state. The most interesting part of the release is the following quote:"This will further help the state meet current and future telephony needs," said Keith Payden, State of Minnesota Chief Information Officer. "We will be able to increase the eligibility of state agencies to take advantage of the benefits of IP telephony, which will result in toll savings, circuit consolidation and lower administration costs."I guess trying to regulate and tax something that is so helpful to the state may not be such a great idea after all.Here is the full release:State of Minnesota Awards IP Voice Services Contract to Onvoy

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Onvoy, Inc., a Minneapolis-based provider of advanced telecommunications solutions, today announced that Onvoy will partner with the State of Minnesota Department of Administration to provide comprehensive IP telephony application services to participating state agencies.
