Contacts database integration

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi, we are using asterisk with great satisfaction, but … now we need to have a shared contacts database.

We already have a public folder (type contacts) in our Exchange server.

Is it possible to have it sync with an asterisk contacts db (or phone, we use softphone x-lite + hardware phones mgcp compatible).

we’d like to have 2 results:

  1. contacts usable from phone, so we don’t need to look for phone numbers every 2 minutes

  2. cid associated to contacts when somebody calls

Any idea on how to do it?

We are available to use a “non sync” solution -> a manual solution like periodically exporting from exchange and importing somewhere …

Tks

Stefano

Click to call and caller id info are quite simple to do with Asterisk and Sugar CRM or Vtiger CRM, you can find info about just googling the web; I think it’s harder integrate Asterisk with Exchange.
