Reporting Utility
Tags: configuration files, consolidated reports, divisional PBXs, pbx, pbxs, readable format
When CDR reporting was raised a few days ago, it prompted me to add a section on how ADTransform could be used to address the problem raised about consolidating CDR information from various divisional PBXs and producing consolidated reports.
I wrote a short Use Case article. http://www.artifact-software.com/?page_id66
I also thought about the problem of getting the configuration files into a readable format such as phone lists that could be distributed and added a second Use Case. I am only maintaining our internal PBX so reporting configurations is not a big issue but I would imagine that for someone maintaining many clients or many corporate PBXs, having a batch tool that can collect the data files, produce nice looking reports and automatically upload them to a portal might be helpful.
I would be grateful for any comments about content, format or my skill as an artist.:-)
