History
Mark Spencer founded Linux Support Services in 1999 while still a Computer Engineering student at Auburn University. When faced with the high cost of buying a PBX, Mark simply used his Linux PC and knowledge of C code to write his own! This was the beginning of the world-wide phenomenon known as Asterisk, the open source PBX, and caused Mark to shift his business focus from Linux support to supporting Asterisk and opening up the telecom market. Linux Support Services is now known as Digium, and is bringing open source to the telecom market while gaining a foothold in the telecom industry.Digium is based in Huntsville, Alabama.
Philosophy
Digium is a young and fast-moving company with an energetic and hip culture that reflects the philosophy of Asterisk and the open source revolution. Mark strongly believes that every technology he creates should be given back to the community. This is why Asterisk is fully open source. Today that model has allowed Asterisk to remain available free of charge, while it has become as robust as the leading and most-expensive PBXs.
Digium was founded on the notion that the customer should have control over the technology that goes into his telecommunications systems, a rare notion in the proprietary world of Telecom. Since the inception of Asterisk, the idea of open source communications technology has been revitalizing an industry which was at one time crippled by the dominance of monolithic dinosaurs.
Digium employees find an added joy in their work knowing that they are pioneering this revolution. The Digium offices are filled with innovative problem-solvers in every department, not just in engineering, because fresh thought has been key to Digium's success from the very beginning.
