Asterisk based Call Accounting software

Hello Asterisk community,

After numerous request from various companies where we have implemented * as a phone system and also from many other * users all over the world, yesterday we released the 1st version of Asterisk module for Call Accounting Mate (www.callaccounting.ws) . As some of you know we also use Asterisk internally as our phone system and as developers for Call Accounting Mate, we felt it was necessary to implement a decent Call Accounting software for *. Call Accounting Mate runs on Windows and is completely web based. It ships with the necessary source files and Asterisk modules to interface Asterisk via tcpip to Call Accounting Mate.We have set up a Asterisk - Call Accounting Mate forum so we can gather input from the Asterisk community.

What is CDR?

CDR is an abbreviation for the the term Call Detail Recording. It is the data that is submitted by your telephone system to a collection device linked to your call accounting package. The data contains particular information about every telephone call including date, time, duration, digits dialed and trunk line. Often the term SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording is used interchangeably with CDR). The "raw" information is generally interpreted and translated into a database for real time or scheduled processing and reporting.
