Commpartners does not allow you to do on your own origination and termination and they international rates are ridicules also you don't own your clients with them! I found a company <a href="http://www.voiplogic.com">www.voiplogic.com</a> who offer what I'm looking for.<br>

We have not never dealt with Commpartners personally, but a number of<br>
our clients have.<br>
<br>
There are lots of vendors that offer this type of thing, and the number<br>
one fear is that they are fly-by-night. A lot of them are. Some of<br>
them can actually put the technology together somewhat decently, but<br>
that's where their competency and value stops outright.<br>
<br>
What seems to set Commpartners about is that they understand that viable<br>
business is mostly about good execution -- and, as part of that<br>
desiderata, great process -- not just pieces of equipment. You can't<br>
just plug in a resale platform on a few Asterisk boxes and say, "OK,<br>
sell VoIP!" It's that kind of intellectual coherence, conceptual<br>
integrity, and understanding of economics that I think good resellers<br>
are looking for.<br>
<br>
Although opinions certainly vary, there is consensus among my clients<br>
that use them that Commpartners seems to have a good provisioning<br>
process, a viable and worthwhile and usable support process, a lot of<br>
up-front white-label marketing and promotional material and other<br>
content to help get folks started, timely and up-to-date rate sheets and<br>
product definition and other things that help create a solid rebranding<br>
fabric, and stuff like that. It's fairly turn-key, although I'm sure<br>
not without its problems.<br>
<br>
It's getting that stuff right that sets serious vendors apart from the<br>
cottage industry in this space. It's critical to do something for<br>
business development in order to actually enable resellers to:<br>
<br>
(1) Actually market;<br>
<br>
(2) Actually sell;<br>
<br>
(3) Develop streamlined workflow processes that can be replicated at<br>
decreasing marginal cost.<br>
<br>
Many small providers of this type of setup in the cottage industry are<br>
too busy being enamoured with the technology and ogling their servers to<br>
have any grasp of this. They may have the network elements, but not the<br>
people elements, nor the backoffice tools, nor the product fundamentals<br>
to get the operational formula right for a real-world reseller.<br>
<br>
Just my $.02, based on what we've seen working with several successful<br>
ITSPs' decisionmaking process.<br>
