For the launch of the new Orange Cloud For Business platform, we were primarily interested in finding an open source solution that could be configured to model standard as well as completely customized subscription models. The product needed to be able to be administered by business analysts.
Opencell fulfilled our requirements. Missing functionalities identified during the proof of concept workshop were quickly developed and integrated into the core open source model. The support team was very proactive and quickly helped us to resolve all technical issues encountered during the implementation phase.
