Anytime Darin,
Currently the integrated billing is not complete. However, the essentials
are all there: full CDRS which you can implement rate decks, per min/sec
billing, API to grab all account information, etc. so currently we offload that
info to a billing platform and tax company. At least until the core billing is
complete. We will re-evaluate once that is released.

Mark,
That's very valuable information. One other question about 2600hz.
Do they have a billing module for handling your customer database and
billing/payments, etc. or do you use a third party platform that's integrated
in to make sure every DID and seat gets properly billed to your customers? I
can imagine as you scale it can be difficult to be sure that what you have in
Kazoo is the same with what is being billed to customers.
Thank you

Hi Darin,
So there are two services they offer in respect to this: their own hosted
service and their PaaS (platform as a service). The PaaS is essentially your
own bare metal servers but in their racks and ops managed network.
At first, to build client base, it pays to use their hosted. But when you
want your own services, modifications and infrastructure , you need to have
your own cluster/infrastructure. PaaS gives us that without the need of a full
blown OPs team and NOC with overhead of DCs and bandwidth contracts and
management. While that's built into the price of the service with 2600hz, we
have the very team who manages the core software and with their volume
collectively, we share in the overall reduction in cost.
After a consideration of the numbers and overall benefits, it just made perfect
sense to use their PaaS offering: less overall management and cost. Given our
confidence in the future of 2600hz and the Kazoo platform, it made perfect
sense.

Mark,
So you are hosting on your own servers today but you are now migrating to their
own hosted platform where they operate the infrastructure? It seems that most
people will start out on hosted to save upfront costs and then eventually
migrate to their own platform to save money over time.
You're doing it opposite so if possible, can you elaborate on how this will
reduce your ops costs enough to actually offset the additional costs of paying
them for hosting instead of you doing it yourself? Is there a large cost in
them hosting it vs. you doing your own servers?
Thanks

Hi Lee,
We have been running our own infrastructure. However, we are in the process
of migrating to the 2600hz PaaS solution as it has shown to significantly
reduce ops costs.

Mark,
Did you elect to go with the global infrastructure, or are you running it in
their private or public cloud?

Both actually. When first available for geek purposes. However when business
began to thrive I contracted with 2600hz so I could focus on the business side.
Their services are far more reasonable, especially price wise, than the
licensing and support from the likes of broadsoft - leaving more room to
compete in the marketplace.

Mark, did you build your platform from the open source stack or did you
contract with 2600 directly?
Thx

A great open source competitor to Broadsoft etc, would be Kazoo by 2600hz. We
leverage their APIs to tied into our E911 and abilities to purchase and
provision TNs in real time, with a great UI for our clients. You should check
it out.

Broadsoft / Broadcloud - depending on your topology / infrastructure and your
capital requirements (OPEX v CAPEX) Broadsoft had the best, most versatile (and
