The motivation behind those who create open source software is their belief in quality and the hope that the users that find their creation useful, and that those users will donate their time and money to make it even better.
This does not just apply to those with programming skills, for instance even those with no programming knowledge can make immense contributions by reporting bugs, writing documentation, and helping other new users to understand CDR-Stats.
Another way that you can contribute to the the development of CDR-Stats is to purchase consultancy from us, as the revenue from this goes back into improving our products. This may not be the case with third party consultants.
Star2Billing S.L. was formed in 2009 to provide commercial support, installation and training to telecommunications companies that wished to deploy A2Billing.
A2Billing is both a Telecoms Switch and a Billing Platform, first launched in 2005, for those wishing to provide telecom services such as VoIP, calling cards and callback, as well as a variety of other products. Please see http://www.star2billing.com for a list of some of the products that Star2Billing can provide.
CDR-Stats is the latest piece of software development from the Star2Billing stable, and is a complete ground up re-write of the famous Asterisk-Stat, which has been around for over 7 years as a CDR viewer and analyser for Asterisk, and has been included in FreePBX to view and analyse CDR.
FreePBX has been downloaded over 5 million times, and it is estimated that there are over half a million installations live today, with Asterisk-Stat running in every one of them, and countless installations of Asterisk-Stat running on Asterisk servers all over the world.
