[asterisk-users] Asterisk Configuration GUI Question

[JR Richardson]

Hi All,

There are a lot of existing projects for configuring Asterisk via GUI,
so instead of trudging through them all, I'm hopeing to get some
guidance.

My architecture is ITSP based, we supply hosted PBX's to business
customers.   A few systems are dedicated PBX's but the majority are
virtualized instances.  We have been very successful managing the
systems for our customers, not a lot of request for user portals or
anything like that, so our PBX management consist of command line
editing of Asterisk flat files and minimal sql database routines.  We
have built a few custom user portals for some of our customers using
LAMP and have deployed a couple of other user web utilities, CDR
search, Operator panel, Queue stats.  I would like to implement a more
standardized user portal for basic functions like call forward,
voicemail password reset, user info change, queue member add/remove,
ect....

I know there are many projects that could do just that, but most of
what I'm finding are GUI's that take over the system and have
conventions for many more configurable elements than I really need.
Most are overkill for what I'm looking for.  Because the majority of
my PBX's are hosted virtual systems, overhead must be light.  I would
like to have a centralized management portal that pushes configs out
to the PBX's but I'm not apposed to running a GUI on each PBX instance
as long as it is light.  I would like to be able to customize the
interface, brand with my business logos, add or remove configuration
elements.  I kind of like the Digium Asterisk GUI but I'm just not
real familiar with it, just test driving it a bit.  What I do like
about it is the flat file manipulation, no database needed.

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks.

JR
