Why Phone 2.0?
● Phone 2.0: bringing web mashups to the telephone world
● The web iterates quickly: your phone system should too
● The phone system is no longer an island● Phone isn't just about voice anymore: it's a key
piece of the overall communications package

Why Adhearsion?
● extensions.conf isn't a programming language● Looping and string/math operations are painful● Interfaces to data sources (SQL/LDAP) are primitive
● Softswitches and PBXes are a bad place to implement high-level features● Instability brings down the entire phone system● Each new tech requires a large development effort● Little to no code re-use possible
● Adhearsion: the chassis to your phone engine

Why Adhearsion?
● Plain, easy-to-read syntax with the DSL● Ruby has libraries (gems) for almost everything● JRuby (Ruby in Java VM) has even more● Ruby makes programming accessible● Adhearsion makes programming phones
accessible
