[Enswitch-announce] Announcing Enswitch 4.2

[Alistair Cunningham]

Integrics is pleased to announce version 4.2 of Enswitch, the most 
feature-rich, most powerful, and most flexible solution for commercial 
telephony services such as multi-tenant hosted PBX, residential ITSP, 
toll-free, and number translation services.

Enswitch provides full-featured telephony, billing, invoicing, a full 
and highly configurable web interface for the system owner, resellers, 
and customers, and a comprehensive API - all in a single highly scalable 
and highly integrated solution. It's in production today with carriers 
worldwide on systems from hundreds of users on single machines to over 
200,000 users on large redundant clusters. It's also increasingly used 
as a highly scalable PBX for those who need a system distributed across 
many locations, or who need to bill departments or users.

More information, including a full list of features and a working demo 
of the web interface, is at https://enswitch.com/
