Great Place for Dinner #1

Hi again, sorry for not updating my blog for sometime, just been plain busy. Well, recently, we had dinner at this really cool set up somewhere in Changkat Bukit Bintang. Its called Bermuda and Onion - Besides BOM BRAZIL.

This restaurant is for those of you that like to eat pork. They serve a variety of pork dishes, served Italian style. The chef is a very friendly and quite a hilarious chap.

The pricing there is not too expensive and the environment there is cozy. A good place to wine and dine.

I would definitely not recommend this place to my enemies :)

We like challenges!

Thus far; we managed to successfully implement any customization requirements from our customers. We have yet to find a particular request that we could not fulfill. If you have some strange idea of how you want to implement Asterisk or Nagios in your organization or a specific customized feature for your organization, bring this challenge to us.

We have integrated Nagios with various monitoring tools out there; and some of them are from the big boys -- Guess what? the customers have now replaced "the big boys" with Nagios -- Kewl no?

I just love it, customers love it. It's all about choices. It's all about the freedom to choose. It's all about what you want us to do for you -- something "the big boys" need to comprehend. Today's demanding economy no longer sees dictatorship from vendors to customers, but rather, a solution requirement that is customer driven!

Open source in general provides us with that platform. With its open architecture and framework, we can achieve what others refer to as "wish list"....

If you have something to share about your experience with Asterisk and Nagios or anything related to OSS, do leave your comments :)

Asterisk: Password Reset via IVR

Something really cool in Asterisk - This is something an organization with LARGE number of users can use. You can now, get Asterisk to interface with AD or any applications, and get your users to reset passwords via the IVR. This means, the guys and girls at the help desk can concentrate in doing what they are paid for.

Well this solution is both secured and reliable. We have 2 customers that loved this solution. One is from the O&G industry and the other is from a Financial industry.

Imagine this .. you have an average of 2000 calls per month on password resets. Now all of such request can be handled by the IVR via Asterisk. Kewl no?
