[Asterisk-biz] Billing software<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>Let me add my two cents into this discussion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Its a pity that virtually no commercial or open source software (native
to Asterisks) is available to run a professional level VOIP based services
such as calling card or whole sale VOIP termination services. You will find
many pieces here and there , also supposedly free ( you pay to developer to
work as consultant instead )m in many flavor of open source components, but
not an integrated holistic solution. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this scenario will change soon. Ending monopolistic hefty
pricing regime of incumbent legacy software such as Sysmaster or MERA or
Eyebill should foster innovation from small startup telcos delivering
value added services to their niches. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can someone or a group take a lead here to end this status-quo?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Ifte</DIV>

Darren,<BR>Thanks for the information. I tried installing the AstBill a
month ago and didn't go thru well. It also requires Drupal at the end of
configuration. But I want to run off of Drupal. I agree that mysql 5 has lot
of features and I am great fan of Stored Procedures. The problem is, I am
already running some applications in Mysql 3.23 version and I am not sure
Mysql 5 migration going to affect those apps. Anyway I will give it a try
this week and if I need I will ping you for help.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><SPAN

<P>AstBill now have an installation script that simplifies installation.
We also have an automatic upgrade service for support paying customers.
Just like windows update. :-)<BR><BR>Contact me if you want paid
installation/support. It cost less than commercial software and you are
supporting the development of sofisticated Open Source Software.
<BR><BR>The reason we are using MySQL 5 is that we believe in <SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">the future</SPAN>. Modern billing applications
need features like <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Views and Stored
Procedures</SPAN> to scale efficient. Must of the logic in AstBill is done
in Stored procedures. This saves round trips between servers and
languages and allows for a very efficient scaling of customers. We have
live customers with 9500 users and have done tests with 100 000 accounts.
It works like a dream. <BR clear=all></P>
