“We were jumping on that train very early,” says Christian Stredicke, serving the MSPs, Vodia is marking a decade as a leader and pioneer in offering PBX software that effectively turns mobile phones, laptops, PCs and standard VoIP phones into clients everyone in an organization can use for communication. Vodia has held the vision of enabling communication from many devices, which enables what we now call hybrid work. “People should be able to work from anywhere,” says Stredicke. Even a decade ago, Vodia saw that the browser would play a larger and larger role. In this podcast we learn how Vodia saw the possibilities a decade ago and embraced them. Stredicke discusses how real time communications, and WebRTC, moved functions, including voice communication to the browser. Along the way, Vodia has been careful not to get too far ahead of customers and clients. Stredicke discusses how listening, patience, and pragmatism has tempered Vodia’s approach, by meeting immediate demands and needs while architecting for the future with products that anticipate customer migration to embrace mobility and browser-based options. “The personal touch is something we value a lot” adds Stredicke.
Vodia Sales Engineer Eric Altman attended HITEC North America 2026 to connect with hospitality technology providers, discuss current PMS integrations, and explore future opportunities around Vodia V70. The event highlighted the growing importance of reliable hotel communication, front-desk workflows, staff coordination, and integrations between cloud phone systems and the platforms hotels already use every day, especially as hospitality teams look for more connected and efficient ways to serve their guests.

Traditional IVR and AI receptionists both help businesses manage incoming calls, but they are built for different caller experiences. IVR works well for predictable routing, fixed menus and simple call flows, especially when callers need to reach a department, queue or mailbox. AI receptionists support more natural conversations, smarter responses and more flexible automation, helping callers explain what they need and reach the right outcome faster. The right choice depends on call volume, caller needs, budget and how much personalization your business wants to offer.
