Problem statement : automated timesheet, login smart card systems, timekeeper, authentication
                    management systems, voice-call-manager, epbax systems

                    potential expandable solutions into the bss/oss ...namespace in telecom domain.

                    evaluate the solution ...opportunity_exploit_voip_ip_domain_local_calling.txt.
                     

Opportunity : Given the context of scope of integrated solutions that can integrate and track ,
              the epbax/voice_call managers viz. incomming out , out-going calls ability to
              integrate and track the same with automated time-keeper, logger and authentication systems,

               monitor incomming/outgoing calls ...trace/track validity and authenticity of calls as also
               maintain caller-sheet for individual users and extensions on a epbax or voice_call manager.

               ability to export such logs and data into DSS systems (spread sheets) for managament utilization,
               as also ability to use a pin or authentication for all out-going calls from such epbax or voice
               call managers.

               A clustered hosts to loadbalance the traffic or authentication requests viz. windows mcs with ms-exchange-email
               or aix hacmp or linux vcs or linux clusters with tcp/ip routing and pam , solaris with clustering and ldap 
               .....with potentially shared storage(JBOD ...filesystem ...raid...layout vxfs or other similar filesystems).


               other such
               cluster's in the market ...should suffice, to scale the solution feasible in to large mobile networks,
               given the context of a 'cell' ...centric GSM networks ...thus scalable to any of the gsm/wll

               ability to bundle a authentication and routing (rip) ...into a clustered mechanism to make the process
               lite weight and transperent...offers all the more highly viable option....custom built rack-mountable
               units with custom fabricated motherboards to function both as router's and embedded os with the above
               capabilities (there are umpteen smp's box's with redundancy ...and embedded jbod's with virtual partitioning
               or vmware or the linux equivalent kind of capabilities bundled available on the market scenario) 
               ...a 4k-7k USD box should be offer a viable alternative.

               ...ability import / export such data (utilization of
               services ...call duration, pulse rate ...etc) ...into dss/BI systems for management decision making
               and CRM utilization would be of great use.
