Many developers now come to open source arena, partly because of the politics behind it and mainly because of the umpteen examples of open source or free software making real money.
jBilling is an open source enterprise software, which offers flexible, scalable solutions for small businesses with a few customers to giant corporations with thousands of repeat customers. Developed in Java EE platform, this software makes invoicing easier for a business that has just one computer to the corporate houses that have dozens of servers and data inputs from thousands of computers. Add to that the professional support services and you will find Jbilling as not only an alternative, but also the choicest piece of software that can help you do your business efficiently.
What made Jbilling the favourite billing software for telecom companies?
Because, it supports recurrent billing. This software makes sending monthly invoices to mobile phone customers, internet users, etc an easy task.
jbilling version 1.1.0 has functionalities for telecom companies. This software is can be suitably adapted as robust CRM, accounting and billing solutions for variety of industries including banking, manufacturing, insurance, etc. V 1.1.0 is named telco, because it included features to support complex business rules. Any type of business that has repeat billing requirements, can make use of this version. After all, it is developed mostly by players outside telecom industry.
The most significant part about this version is the addition of four new modules – bundling, event processing, provisioning and rating. It is in addition to the standard jBilling enterprise software, which is widely accepted the most powerful and the most reliable solution in the open source arena.
With the new version, it is easier to bundle different products (like airtime, texts, data & other value added services) for the easiest billing (and offering discounts). It is also easier to capture the details of phone calls, internet access, texts, etc. This system also allows real time communication of events (a call made or a credit card rejected) to the entire system.
All open source projects make money by offering support services to the users. Thus, expect to pay the support professionals, if you plan to get jBilling to power your business. Otherwise, have a skilled professional look after your enterprise systems. And, it is perfectly OK to pay your developers to add on any functionality that you think is necessary for your case. This is just a thought on saving money on enterprise systems and still having the most powerful system to back your business.
