Digium Acquires Astricon

Rich has the skinny on Digium acquiring Sokol & Associates. Sokol & Associates runs the popular Astricon tradeshow and Asterisk (News - Alert) IP-PBX training programs. Interesting how Digium, an open-source hardware and software company is now technically a tradeshow company and an Asterisk training company.


Rich's analysis is, "By purchasing a well-known training company in the Asterisk space, Digium (News - Alert) should be able to grow revenue nicely. This move positions Digium as a major training powerhouse." While I agree with Rich, Digium just has to be careful not to "eat its own" partners by becoming a competitor to them. Many companies have made the mistake of seeing how successful their partners are and then decide to move in on the action leaving their partners high-and-dry.
