OpenRate

OpenRate Capability Overview

OpenRate is a flexible framework for mediation and rating (pricing) of usage events in a telecommunications, utilities or logistics environment. It can be applied to any real time or batch processing environment in which high-performance management of large numbers of events is required.
 

OpenRate License Fees

Before you can use OpenRate, you will need to purchase a license from us. Even though OpenRate is open source software, it is commercially supported and managed. The license fee means that you can be sure you will receive the support you need, and that the platform will continue to be actively governed and managed.

CDRTool replacement for Real Time Rating

The CDRTool Replacement package replaces the easy to use, but quite inflexible CDRTool control module from AG-Projects. When you have outgrown what CDRTool can do, either in terms of functionality or performance, then you probably need the CDRTool Replacement Service Offering Pack. It comprises:

Tariff Simulation / Wholesale Reconciliation

OpenRate is a fast open source rating engine with an extendible rating vobabulary. The standard modules cover all commonly used rating models. The core rating engine is also capable of performing multiple independent rating operations.
 
OpenRate also allows extremely simple importing of tariff sheets, either from file, database, or virtually any other source you can think of. (some of our customers even scrape competitor's pricing off web sites!)
 

Ad hoc OpenRate support

We are able to provide hourly support services to work on any aspect of your work with OpenRate, without the need for a support contract. Please note that because support contracts also contain a number of "ad hoc support hours" it may be cheaper to directly take out a support contract and use the hours from that.
 
Please contact us for pricing for ad hoc support, but as a guideline, we charge $70 (USA and rest of world) or €50 (Europe) per hour for ad hoc support.
 

Get Access to CVS

You can access the CVS repository in one of two ways:

  • Read Only access - this is for people who do not intend to make changes to the system, or who are in the learning phase, and do not want to risk making (potentially bad) changes. 
  • Read/Write access - this is for experienced users and contributors, who wish to extend or modify the core coen.

Get OpenRate

OpenRate contains all source codes necessary to build and run the framework, and we offer downloads to selected individuals or oraganisations. Before you get the software, we ask you to enter into a license agreement with us. This usually takes less than a day to sort out. 
 
Generally we distinguish between two groups of users for licensing:
