| The corporate world has become increasingly comfortable with open
| source-based solutions for their PBX needs. This has also been bolstered by
| the ever-increasing use of other such solutions. For example, the Apache web
| server has long been accepted in the corporate world. Technologically-savvy
| customers can even build their own PBX using Asterisk-based bundles with
| simple-to-navigate GUIs.
