Abstract
Since the ancient times, people use to communicate with each other through post such as letters; to some extent, this system is still in practice. It is very slow mean of communication; during this modern era minimum, a whole day is required in delivering your postal mails. After the creation of internet, in 1978 first proper email was casted using internet instead of postal, yes, the era of emails starts from that moment; then this evolves to the extent of SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service) and then IM (Internet Message), then VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) took birth in 1996. All communication applications we have these days are built using the IM and VoIP technologies, most popular examples are Skype Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, IMO, Line, etc. This evolution of technology has compressed the distances to zero. You want to talk to someone just start your app and call to that particular person in no time, you can either have video conversations or audio calls with your loved ones.
There is a group who didn’t suffice on all this; they want to use the technology for more productive manners. As the concepts of “virtualclassrooms” and “virtualoffices” are remarkably defining their importance in our education sector and corporate sector respectively. Due to which they are craving for such a strong solution which can handle their virtual environment effectively.
Payamber will satisfy them as this system will have the capability that it can fulfill all of their needs. We are developing this system by properly analyzing all of the prospects of theeducation sector as well as corporate sector. Payamber will consist the following two basic components:
Conference Call
Content Management System
Other than aforementioned components Payamber will have the following capabilities:
In-call whiteboard
In-call PowerPoint slideshow
Role base membership service
Automatic uploading of call recordings to YouTube
Payamber will be the efficient lightweight system which can be hosted on either intranet or the internet, a web-based system which will be developed in ASP.net MVC 5 and after the1st quarter of 2016, we will migrate it to ASP.net vNext so that our potential and existing clients can be able to have thelatest technology for their organization. For thedatabase, we will use MS SQL Server 2014 or above and for VoIP, a centralized server of CentOS with aFree switch will be used.
As said afore Payamber is meant to be for education and corporate sector, for this we are brainstorming on this that either we combine both sectors in one edition or release two different editions for those two sectors separately. We will do consensus on this very soon. Whatever the decision will be, but it will be benchmark system of its own kind.
