Frequently Asked Questions

What is Asterisk?

Asterisk is an electronic PABX developed by Digium - one of the leading providers of call centre hardware in the world.  Asterisk is an open source platform that runs on Linux.  Asterisk is licensed under the terms of a General Public License - this means that no vendor can sell Asterisk as a solution.  The licensing for the use of the product is free.


What expertise does Blue Tree have with Asterisk?

Blue Tree has developed our own integration utilities into Asterisk.  These can be broken down into 3 components - self-built scripts to manage the Asterisk clean-up process, written in Linux.  Secondly, an integrated process into the Blue Tree Call Centre CRM (Easy Speak) platform.  Finally, the Blue Tree soft dialer which integrates into the Blue Tree CRM platform and into Asterisk, built in Java.

In addition to this, Blue Tree has highly specialised and trained Asterisk implementers - including outbound and inbound configurations. 

All aspects of Asterisk can be utilised - such as call waiting, auto menus, call routing, various call recordings, integration into GSM and VOIP, call logging, etc.


What if I just want an inbound call recording solution?

Blue Tree supports Asterisk extensively and as a part of this, Blue Tree not only does outbound but a full inbound solution.

This includes the full features such as automated menus and call routing, call recordings, soft dialer and / or answering via a physical desktop telephone, a call dashboard and integration into the CRM application if necessary.  It is not necessary to use the CRM application.


What is a voice recording?

A voice recording is a sound file that is stored on the server and can be retrieved by an user for review. 

The importance of this is that in some industries, the voice recording is required for compliance processes - such as the insurance industry where the client may want to lodge a claim.  The voice recording provides a record of this.  The voice recording is also important to record information such as a sales persons persona - coaching can become beneficial. The voice recording can be used as a safety net for clients, where the client contacts a call centre and has a dispute about a question, product or the attitude of an agent.

The server records all the telephone conversations automatically and these can be stored in different formats on the machine.
