“OutCALL is written in C++. It is a stable and robust application. It took many months of hard work to get it into current state. At the end, I would just say that I will be very happy if OutCALL will make difference to someone.” said Denis Komaradic, OutCALL developer at Bicom Systems Ltd.
“There is ever growing demand to see existing CRM style packages integrated with Telephony Platforms. There are many CRM programs both proprietary and open-source that could benefit from this code.
