Why QueueMetrics Live?
●The classic, on premise QueueMetrics model works well, but
is not ideally suited to every scenario:
●Appliances: too underpowered
●Cloud Providers: running too many instances
●Integrators: hands-off solution
●For some clients, semplicity wins
–One simple monthly pricing model
–No surprises: we do it all
–Grows with you
Why QueueMetrics Live?
Over the years, we had a number of requests for
adding QueueMetrics to appliances....
QM on appliances?
CONs
●QueueMetrics needs significant
computing resources to run into
●QueueMetrics requires an administrator
for initial set up.
●Need for sysadmin tasks – upgrading to
current versions, backing up the system,
etc.
●Typical solution was deploying QM on a
separate local server, but was often
unacceptable
PROs
●Asterisk-based appliances often run
small support lines on remote branches
– need for statistics
●Asterisk based appliances are today
quite powerful and can scale up quite a
bit.
●Lack of statistics reduces the possible
deployment scenarios.
Hosted QM to the rescue
●Add a simple loader script to the appliance
●Written in Go, very lightweight, works with any distro
●Loader pushes data securely to the QM cloud
●Built to be extremely reliable even in case of errors
●Derived from battle-tested qloaderd
●Users access QM from the web – can see the current state from
anywhere and interact with the PBX
●Administration, upgrades, backups are done by Loway

Cloud-based call-centres are often based on Asterisk technology, so
QueueMetrics is a natural choice...
QM for cloud providers?
CONs
●You need to run a large number of
QueueMetrics instances
●You need significant QueueMetrics
experience to integrate them
●You need to configure, monitor and back-
up all those instances
●Cloud call-centres are usually sold with a
short-term commitment
PROs
●QueueMetrics is a proven, industrial
grade solutions
●Very extensive reporting and
monitoring capabilities
●Very extensive customization
capabilities to fit the most demanding
scenarios
●Build a complete hosted call-center
solution at a fraction of current prices
Hosted QM to the rescue
