So we have the new version Beta of OS X 10.5 Leopard and is - great! All the new features on the Apple web site are included. I have to say that Apple has the coolest products available - anywhere. From the Macbook and the Macpro’s to the new Airport to the iPhone. State of the art products all, and when Apple releases Leopard later this year it too will kick ass.

So we just finished the Nextone Upgrade from version 4.0 to version 4.3. The upgrade process was fairly painless, took an afternoon and the Nextone engineers did most of the work, it wasn’t until about 5 days later that problems started cropping up. We upgraded on a Tuesday and the switched “Cored” (Crashed) on the following Sunday. Interestingly enough the backup server also had an error, so on the busiest day of the week we were down (of course on peak hour). We opened a priority one ticket and in a few days they had a fix. But there are numerous differences between the 4.0 and 4.3 some good and some not so good. One is that we use the iVMS known know as RSM and there are numerous bugs in 4.3. Tracking down routing errors and viewing CDR’s, viewing realtime call stats per customer (Active calls), just putting in the date range for the calls - ALL these these either flat out do not function or have issues. Although there are many excellent updates also. But i am one who believes if a software company is going to release a new version, at least the old features should function - it is just sloppy work when the calendar function has errors. There are some great new features, the iVMS will check routing for errors (routes without rates, rates without routes, region codes that have errors ect…), it will also export CDR’s with rating info buy and sell rates and so on, Nextone really has a full blown billing system (but the wont admit it) with the 4.3 RSM. I am sure there will work out the issues as Nextone products are awesome…
