PIKA Technologies Announces Introduction of Intuitive Voice's High-Quality

PIKA Technologies Inc. today announced that Intuitive Voice, a customer of PIKA, has introduced a low-cost, high-quality PBX phone system designed for small businesses. The Evolution PBX 2.3 combines the cost benefits of open-source PBX technology with the quality of PIKA voice processing, along with an easy-to-use interface designed especially for small businesses with no technical staff.

Chris Jones, President of Intuitive Voice, said, "With Evolution PBX, there are no barriers to prevent small businesses from realizing the benefits of big-business PBX features. At less than $1,500US for a four-line PBX, Evolution PBX is truly affordable for a small business, without sacrificing voice quality or usability."

For a fraction of the price of traditional PBXs, Evolution PBX provides small businesses with features such as an automated attendant; unique extensions and voicemail boxes for each employee; automatic call routing; integration with Microsoft® Outlook™ and voicemail-to-email; on-hold music; support for telecommuters, voice-over-IP, and much more.

Ease-of-use is assured with the Evolution PBX turnkey software interface, which automates setup and provisioning, and allows non-technical staff to easily maintain the system.

Adds Jones, "These breakthroughs were made possible by PIKA's high-quality voice processing for Asterisk. PIKA's low density analog board is unique because it provides advanced functionality such as DSP-based echo cancellation, fax, and native switching, at a very competitive price point."

Terry Atwood, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customer Care at PIKA Technologies, added, "We are very pleased that Intuitive Voice has leveraged our landmark PIKA Connect for Asterisk software to fill a major gap in the PBX market. While the open-source Asterisk solution makes PBX technology affordable, only a company like Intuitive Voice can develop it into a fully-featured and easy to use product that makes sense for small business end users."
