Digium is continuing to build stronger reseller partnerships in the unified communications market.

From Polycom to Skype, a long list of additional companies are promoting Digium’s open source IP PBX platform during the Asterisk World conference that runs between Jan. 20 to 22nd in Miami Beach, Florida.

Overall, Asterisk World is designed to appeal to corporate enterprises, IT managers who focus on contact centers and VoIP resellers, integrators and solutions providers.

Here are some facts about Digium’s strategy that were announced at the Astricon Fall 2009 event:

Asterisk Exchange: A forthcoming app store to allow partners to more easily find Asterisk-compatible apps.

Asterisk Forge: A central location for developers to share and track new Asterisk-related software components.

Asterisk.org: Digium overhauled the community site with new content and new points of access to help partners.

Digium founder and CTO Mark Spencer shared these thoughts on AsteriskExchange, AsteriskForge and Asterisk.org:

Digium's strategy landed near the top of last year’s Open Source 50 report. The 2010 survey runs through December, and will be available in Jan. 2011.

Here are some highlights of this year's conference in Florida:

1) Polycom’s Tim Yankey to talk up HD voice in the enterprises

2) Skype’s Antonio Varanda to discuss Asterisk-Skype integration.

3) Jeronimo Romero will showcase Asterisk for financial trading apps.

4) Tristan Degenhardt will describe unified communications in small businesses.

These four presentations will be part of a channel partner push from Digium.

Here's a list of some of the speakers at the conference:

Degenhardt was one of the co-founders of SwitchVox, an Asterisk-based phone system that Digium acquired in September 2007. Now Barnum and the Digium team are promoting SwitchVox to resellers and solutions providers that service small and midsize businesses and small office/home office markets.

Are more solutions providers signing up to support Digium’s SwitchVox? The VAR Guy plans to check in with Deganhardt for her perspectives.
