Rick Guyton Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Hey guys, I'd like to create an app that will allow us to rapidly deploy new accounts. Basically the app would take a few settings like realm name, local or global carrier, number of trunks to assign and possibly numbers to begin porting on. Then, a CSV for each device that contains columns like device name, MAC, Make, Model, Presence ID/extension, UserFirstName, UserLastName, UserEmail. Finally, checks it for sanity and conflicts and applies the whole bit at once. This is a little bit more than I can bite off myself at the moment. So, I'm curious, would anyone be interested in purchasing an app like this if I were to bring in some help for development? If so, what would you think was fair on a per device basis for a service like this? Also, am I missing anything you guy's want in there?
Joseph Watson Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Hello Rick, I would be for sure. Is it just for v4 or will it also work on v3?
Rick Guyton Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks Joseph, we'd be using the python SDK. So, it'd work on both. Can you please let me know what you'd think a fair per device fee would be? This will be critical in determining if we can fund this or not. Thanks!!
Rick Guyton Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Posted February 21, 2017 Also, just realized I had a typo. There would only be one CSV with multiple device lines. Obviously, not a CSV per device. :)
Joseph Watson Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Im not sure about a fee per device. Maybe a one time fee for the app. It's hard to say really without seeing it work.
Rick Guyton Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Posted February 21, 2017 Sure, I understand. I think a one time fee would be plausible eventually. But, in the short term, this would all run off our servers. Even so, curious what your thoughts would be on a fair flat price. Assuming it met all of your requirements of course.
Baze Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Hey Rick - I spoke to my guys about this, and definitely interested and would love to contribute back as a PR to master if we came up with something good. We are pretty slammed right now, so probably a few months before we could help. My provisioning guys said they would buy me lunch for a month if we did this for them, so not sure what the value would translate to there. ha!
Rick Guyton Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks! I think the real question here is what is the lunch to beer conversion rate? :)
