Digium Innovation Award

The Innovation Award is designed to recognize developers, customers and partners for outstanding achievements that are improving business processes, overcoming technology challenges and enhancing the company's bottom line.

"Asterisk generates so much excitement in the telephony world because its openness allows it to form the basis of unlimited types of applications," said Mark Spencer, creator of Asterisk and Digium's chief technology officer. "Many of the nominees for the Innovation Awards blew us away with their ability to solve real business problems and to create entirely new voice solutions using Asterisk. We're pleased to recognize the winners and to congratulate each and every entrant."
