[freeside-users] The FreeSide experience

[Stuart Craig]

The ISP I work for, SpiritOne, is in desperate need of a billing system. 
    We've been in business for 10 years, and we do have a legacy billing 
system, but... well, it's a scary kludge, IMHO.  Those of us who would 
support and use a new billing system are interested in implementing 
FreeSide.  We're still working on selling this concept to the owner of 
the company though.  One of the points that he's been very insistent 
about is that he really wants to hear from some existing FreeSide users 
about their experience with the software.

Ivan did supply us with a short list of references, but only one of them 
replied to our queries.  Can anybody else help us out?  We're not 
looking for an in-depth analysis, just a paragrah or two talking about 
the good and bad points of FreeSide.

FreeSide seems to be a good fit to our existing infrastructure.  All of 
our servers are running RedHat or Fedora Linux and we've already got a 
lot of administrative tools implemented in perl.  We have two 
experienced perl programmers, as well as another web designer on staff.

Thanks,
  - Stu
