Kerio Technologies recently announced the launch of the latest version of its IP PBX (News - Alert) phone system. According to the company, both small and midsize organizations can now use Kerio Operator 1.2 to improve communication, reduce telephony costs as well as stay connected any place while providing easy use for users and IT administrators.

In a release, Scott Schreiman said, "With Kerio Operator 1.2, we have found the balance between functionality and simplicity by delivering a product that offers the essential voice features that are critical for business while not overwhelming customers with an over complicated system. Because of its integration and similarity to other Kerio products, our channel will find it easy to deploy Kerio Operator for clients who are looking for an economical way to upgrade their phone system."

According to Schreiman, organizations that implement Kerio Operator will no longer need to depend upon expensive telephony agent to make simple adjustments to the phone network. The latest version of Kerio Operator is built on the industry-standard SIP VoIP protocol and Asterisk (News - Alert) 1.8 which is the software behind Kerio Operator's innovative new capabilities.

The Digium (News - Alert) TDM410 card with FXO modules is now supported by Kerio Operator 1.2, which means that organizations will now be able to connect to analog phone lines and leverage the advanced IP PBX features of Kerio Operator.

Tom Bridge, owner, Technolutionary, a Kerio Preferred Partner in the Washington DC metro area, said, "As a long-time provider of the Kerio Connect messaging server, moving to a Kerio voice product was a natural next step for us. Voice and email are more aligned than people might realize, and our familiarity with Connect allows us to easily configure Kerio Operator and give our clients a powerful phone system that they may have thought was only available to enterprise type companies for a very competitive price."
