InteGrate is a Software product written in C++ based on a pipe-lined high performance architecture for handling batch rating of telecommunications Call Data Records (CDR), developed by the German software company "Solution 42".
Solution 42 (a name taken from Douglas Adams's "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" cult series), originally based in Quickborn, Germany, was purchased by Portal Software in 2000. Since the purchase of Solution 42, the InteGrate architecture has been integrated into the so called "Portal Infranet Infranet by Portal" telecommications billing platform, now being called the BRE (Batch Rating Engine).
The InteGrate platform is known as a conceptual structure for performing the complex task of Telco rating and price modelling. The "Framework" contains "Pipelines", each of which consists of "Plug-ins", which can be freely combined to perform the task at hand. The standard plug-ins cover a wide range of rating tasks (e.g. zoning, service determination) and the overall rating process can be customised by using the InteGrate script languages "iScript" and "iRule". This open architecture allows to configure the plug-in modules to prepare or post-process CDR-information.
Famous quotes containing the word grate:
“I had rather hear a brazen canstick turned,
Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree,
And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
Nothing so much as mincing poetry.
‘Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
