“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.
From the moment humans learned to speak, communication has shaped how we live, work, and connect. Today, voice remains one of the most natural and information-rich forms of human interaction, even as business communication expands across chat, video, messaging, and digital platforms. As AI becomes more deeply integrated into phone systems and contact centers, voice may play an increasingly important role in how intelligent systems understand context, respond to people, and support real-time communication.
White-labeling the Vodia PBX enables MSPs and VARs to offer business communications under their own brand without developing and maintaining the underlying PBX technology. Providers control branding, packaging, pricing, service delivery, and customer relationships, while Vodia supplies the multi-tenant platform. With V70’s expanded branding and management tools, MSPs can get to market faster and create new recurring-revenue opportunities.
Apple CarPlay support is now available with the Vodia iOS app, bringing essential PBX communication features to the vehicle display through Apple’s native in-car interface. Users can access recent calls, browse the extension directory, view colleague presence, listen to voicemail, use Siri for calls and PBX messages, and receive communication alerts, while built-in readiness checks and automatic recovery help maintain reliable access when network conditions change. The experience supports compatible wired and wireless CarPlay systems.
