Open Rate open source rating and mediation

A recent survey by Accenture concludes that open source  has "come of age".
 

We're proud to announce the OpenBSS Invoice formatter as part of the Open BSS suite. This is a stand-alone invoice formatter, capable for formatting invoices with high complexities, rapidly, either as a batch or an online service.
 
The input to the formatter can either be an XML file, or a database, with an extractor pulling the information as needed.
 
The OpenBSS invoice formatter uses state of the art open source technolgy, and provides great performance, flexibility and formatting as part of the package.

We've been aiming at Web Services support for some time, adding the ability to create a rating service, to go along with the existing customer account creation service, which we have had for some time. Based on the new V1.1 real time architecture, we have put together a small "wrapper" project, which presents OpenRate as a Web Rating Service.
 

Once again, we've been forced to tighten the rule for accessing the site, due to the fact that there are people in this world who will abuse any goodwill they find in order to further their own selfish ends.
 

We're pleased to announce that the Javadoc for V1.1.0.0 is now ready. This terminates the work on completing the Javadoc resources that we set at V1.0.0.0.
 
You should now find the Javadoc a valuable resource, which binds in well with the Wiki community documentation.

You can get to the Javadoc here.

We're wrapping up the final stages of release 1.1 at the moment, ironing out a few last minute problems and updating the Javadoc. We expect to release in the next two weeks or so.
 
Release 1.1 has some important features:

In order to improve the quality of the developer documentation, we have released the javadoc documentation for OpenRate.
 

One of the most important items of feedback that we get is that the OpenRate site is way too technical, and a lot of people don't really know where to start. In response to the (we do have to admit) extremely valid comments, we have launched the "OpenRate Business Portal", which focusses on clear, concise to the point information for people interested purely in the capabilities and commercial considerations.

We have officially launched the project to get us onto the next major step in our development roadmap. The Open BRM project has been started on the 1st April 2009. This will take up to the next stage of our long term road map for Open Rate, which includes a full billing engine.
