Dimdim is to WebEx like Asterisk is to Avaya

April 11, 2008


Open source web conferencing company Dimdim is looking to attack the conferencing market in the same way Asterisk "attacked" the PBX space. Although the concept of open source is not new this sort of product just shows how virtually every corner of the software market has to deal with the issue of competing with free or very cheap software supported by a community of developers who work for the "fun of it".

One way to compete with such challenges is to focus more on consulting and systems integration. Another is to focus on building your development community up as a way to add value to your core offerings.

These are things Avaya has done masterfully and it remains to be seen how companies in the conferencing space will deal with the increased pressure from open source conferencing providers such as Dimdim.

RE: Dimdim is to WebEx like Asterisk is to Avaya

Thanks for the post, Rich. We're working hard to be the alternative to everyone who has found Webex too complicated/expense AND everyone who has never been about to host their own web meetings before. We're all about being easy, open and affordable. And for meetings of 20 people or less when I say affordable, I mean FREE. With Dimdim, now the world can meet freely.
