"Adomo is an emerging venture-backed vendor, currently with a direct distribution and support model. The Adomo solution provides a Linux appliance approach to unified messaging that uses Microsoft's Active Directory and Exchange servers for message storage. It does not require upgrading to Microsoft's Exchange 2007. Companies seeking a lower-cost, nondisruptive alternative to Microsoft UM, Cisco Unity and others should evaluate the Adomo solution."

"Adomo’s new features significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of business voice communications for both callers and subscribers," said Art Rosenberg, analyst and publisher of the syndicated web column, The Unified-View. "But, what is particularly critical for companies that may not need to completely replace their TDM phone systems yet, but whose key personnel are becoming more mobile, is to add these new capabilities in a way that is ‘IP future-proof’ and enables what I call ‘graceful migration.’ Since Adomo works with existing, older telephony equipment as well as newer VoIP systems, companies can roll out these new capabilities without waiting for switch upgrades to IP telephony. And users can be selectively introduced to advanced functionality over time, in an intuitive and non-disruptive manner."
