Ivan Kohler provides a detailed account of the open source solutions now available from FreeSide to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication. For a startup or for a mature provider, FreeSide can provide the integrated solution that you are looking for to provide control and monitoring capabilities to management of the provider operation.
Being open source, you will find the pricing to be far less than the commercial competition. APIs are available to customize the individual applications to your company’s specifications. If you do not have the time or the manpower, FreeSide offers consulting services to customize the applications for you.
Listen in and find out why FreeSide has such a long list of satisfied customers and why FreeSide continues to grow.
FreeSide had its start as an internal application for a large regional ISP in 1996. In 1998, after obtaining copyright to the code from his former employer, Ivan Kohler released the first open-source version of the code. Growing demand for commercial support and services prompted him to start providing FreeSide consulting full-time in 2001.
FreeSide Internet Services, Inc. was incorporated in 2005. Focused initially on development, offerings expanded to support, services and hardware.
The company provides consulting services, pre-configured hardware, support, customization and training for the FreeSide billing system and other aspects of ISP and network operations. FreeSide Internet Services, Inc. is a privately held California corporation.
