My Visit to Sangoma in Markham, Ontario, Canada

First off, I know it's been quite a long time since I've posted to this blog but that's about to change as I have integrated this blog with my new website GameGamer43.com. Now a lot has changed since I last posted a story to this blog so I'll give you some quick bullet points below:

• Relationships have come and gone


• I've worked for HSBC Bank as an Internet Banking Customer Service Rep, E-Mail Support Representative, Internet Banking Service Technician, and a Premier Client Consultant


• I received my Associated Degree in Business Administration from Erie Community College


• I bought a 2007 Ducati SupperSport 800 to enjoy the summer nights


• I started PBX Techs, LLC in the first quarter of 2008


• I am continuing my education for a Bachelors Degree in Information Technology with a focus on Software Engineering


• I moved from Buffalo, NY to Neenah, WI to take a job at Schmooze Communications LLC


• And I'll be headed to Jamaica in January for a nice little vacation

As the holidays approached, I was bound to head back to Buffalo, NY to meet up with my family and friends for Thanksgiving. In doing so I also made it a point to go visit our good friends up at Sangoma as it was only a 2.5 hours drive. So their was plan A which was to drive up Sunday afternoon and get a hotel room with a bunch of friends and plan B which meant I was waking up at the crack of dawn to make the morning commute via the QEW. Sure enough I ended up opting for plan B and woke up at 4 am EST. After getting ready to learn more about Sangoma's products, I left the house and began my commute.

I ended up reaching the Sangoma office at 8:15 am EST after a few stops for food and something to drink. After arriving I was greeted at the front desk and told that the person I was meeting wasn't in yet but that they were usually one of the first one's in. Sure enough at 8:40 am, I met with Konrad and I was given the grand tour.

During the grand tour I learned that Sangoma is one of the few manufacturers that still assemble all FXO/FXS/T1/E1 cards on-site. This to me was a little suprising after seeing that Digium only does the testing on their cards in Huntsville, Alabama and that the actual manufacturing process is done elsewhere.

In any event I learned a lot about Sangoma's product and I also found that the entire team at Sangoma is very passionate about their jobs as well as their products. They definitely stand behind their warranty, which on most cards that I've encountered is a Lifetime Warranty.

So I'd like to thank Sangoma for having me and look forward to their continued attention to quality.
