Dear all,
It has been another busy period since the last release of A2Billing nearly 2 months ago, and we have added a number of new features to A2Billing 1.7 codenamed Larch, released today. Some of these features were sponsored by our customers, and others we have added due to popular demand. Additionally, there are a number of bug fixes.
The new features are as follows:-
· New Speed Dial IVR feature
· Add Admin UI notification on New Signup
· New IVR locking system + IVR information
· Agent and Admin : new info CallerID, SpeedDial, SIP/IAX Config, DID Info
· SOAP enhancements.
· Customize the signup fields
We thank GongXianZhong, a customer of Star2Billing based in Japan, for sponsoring the development of the Speed Dial IVR feature.
We would like to issue a warning that we have had cause over the last few months to clear up some very broken A2Billing installations, and ones that were wide open to the internet, with no security whatsoever, installed by a person passing themselves off as an A2Billing consultant, resulting in the potential of the customer losing a substantial amount of money, both in consultancy fees and in minutes.
When choosing an A2Billing consultant, it is important to do the research to check the credentials of your proposed consultant and check such things as the numbers of posts he has made on the A2Billing forums, and whether he has successfully cured the problems asked of him. If the consultant has few if any posts, we would advise you to walk away.
We are happy other people to provide consultancy to install and train people of A2Billing however, Star2Billing, the commercial arm of A2Billing can provide a good a stable and secure installation for you together with training and consultancy thus leaving you to concentrate on sales rather than the technology.
