Better way to build software 

VMukti changes the way by which people communicate with each other by finding a better way to develop and deliver software.

VMukti is continuously ranking as most active project under VoIP category on Source Forge https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmukti
       
 VMukti Open Source is authored and released to a community of thousands of experts and developers who use the software, provide feedback, and develop extensions and complements to VMukti. For companies with more advanced needs, VMukti sells VMukti Professional and VMukti Enterprise. Revenues from customers of VMukti commercial editions are then used to fund the development and release of new functionality of VMukti Open Source. This virtuous cycle lowers development costs, delivers software more efficiently to end users and creates a more stable and innovative solution.  

Cost-Effective Software 

As VMukti provides collaborative conferencing web interface, where user can start conferencing collaboratively without worry about band width and other hardware requirements; users participate in collaborative conferencing with just browsing to the server’s VMukti URL, no need of any additional hardware or software support. Thus VMukti proves to be a cost effective as it does require any expenses to be made. It is new and innovative system where users can communicate with each other in a integrated manner.  

Greate Innovation 

VMukti has recently been profiled by one of the top 100 innovations of India by NASSCOM. More details: http://www.nasscom.in/100itinnovators.

As on date there is a huge dearth of products that offer good quality unified communications with multipoint conferencing and social collaboration plug-ins for 3rd party websites, neither are there products that converge the power of Web, P2P and Telecom – enabling web, phone, mobile or IP phone users to collaborate.
   
VMukti scores over USE-AS-IS systems that are non-customizable and non-scalable by providing P2P modular customizable platforms to clients. It is proud to promote the emergent open source culture. Our product also tides over the problem of High costs owing to large server / bandwidth requirements as well as low quality output of collaboration products.     

Less Risk 

Many applications are available for audio and video based communications but none of them provides collaborative conferencing web interface, where user can start conferencing collaboratively without worry about band width and other hardware requirements.
Users can participate in collaborative conferencing with just browsing to the server’s VMukti URL, no need of any additional hardware or software support.
VMukti development process places customization and usability at the forefront. A fun, friendly, and usable application increases user adoption, improves employee productivity and provides the visibility executives need to make their business successful.
