A Sangoma Case Study
Trans World Radio (TWR), a global Christian mission media ministry, faced escalating international telephone costs and the challenge of managing a legacy Cisco system that was expensive to maintain. Their IT team, led by Cassius C. Smith, sought a more cost-effective and manageable solution, which led them to the open-source Asterisk platform. To overcome the complexity of managing these systems across multiple time zones, they turned to Sangoma for its FreePBX solution.
Sangoma's FreePBX provided a powerful, web-based graphical interface that made system provisioning and management intuitive for junior IT staff worldwide. This solution enabled TWR to seamlessly connect its global offices with four-digit dialing. The implementation was highly cost-effective, costing approximately $49,000 for 442 endpoints, and resulted in monthly savings of $3,000 to $6,000 on international toll calls. Sangoma's product provided the manageability and flexibility TWR needed for its enterprise-class phone system.
