Feature Story

2008 Internet Telephony Product of the Year Awards

Welcome to Internet Telephony magazine’s annual feature where we highlight the most interesting and innovative products of the previous year, also known as the Product of the Year awards. Each year, the editors of Internet Telephony pore over hundreds of applications submitted over the course of the preceding several months to determine which products and solutions are worth drawing your attention to.

Speaking of the list, in the view of our editorial brain trust, this annual inventory of the year’s best and brightest has never been about selecting a single product. It is an impossible task to choose one product across multiple categories and multiple target audiences that should be considered “the best.” For example how does one compare an IP PBX with a fixed-mobile convergence solution with an E911 solution with a development toolkit...?




There are too many different categories and classes of product. For us the list has always been about providing our readers with a group of products that merit their consideration. It’s that simple. If one of our readers is in the market for a particular IP communications solution, then there will appear among this list of vendors several providers of such a solution. The purpose of this list is to provide a starting point for individuals seeking solutions that will help them achieve their goals, be it to save money, grow their business, or embrace the hottest telecommunications technology out there.

And so, we present to you the best of 2008. While hardly exhaustive, this list is a great place to begin your search for the solution that will ultimately serve to fill your unique needs. We remind everyone to do their homework, research these companies thoroughly, follow up, and most importantly: Check out those customer references! IT
