Competitor bidding for your company name

By C Chaitanya
We have almost never bid for our company name, Ozonetel, in Google. Our reasoning was that since anyway we show up as the first link it would not matter much. We have also never bid for a competitor's name.
Comparison

Some of our competitors have been bidding on our name for the last few years. We are ok with it. Not too concerned because we know we have a better product. And we would want the customers to know our competition. We have enough confidence in our product and do not want to win a customer just because he does not know about our competitors.

But this time, one competitor went a step ahead. He started using our name in the ad copy(as shown below) which is against Google rules and also put some falsifications in the landing page.

Some falsifications can be put down to ignorance, but some were clearly purposeful, like we not having a Salesforce integration.



We informed Google and also the competitor concerned and they have now apparently removed our name in the ad copy. But the falsifications remain in their landing page. On asking about that, the competitor informed us that the data are true as per their facts.

So, in interest of fairness, we thought we should also show the data as per "our" facts. To learn about how Cloudagent is much better than other call center solutions, please check our comparison chart :)
Once again, these comparison data points are as per our understanding and we advise all prospective customers to take a demo of all systems and then take a call and not fall for online propaganda,because you see, we can write whatever we want on the web ;)

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

By C Chaitanya
Arborjs  is a cool graph visualization library. Angular  is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to get s

Telecommunication Revolution & Cloud Telephony

By C Chaitanya
Telecommunication Revolution & Cloud Telephony Every one talking that world power has shifted from west to east, next century belongs to India and China, as China is an aging country, everyone is betting very high on India. To find the reality, I have done a comparative study between India and western countries. The result was really depressing, in most of sectors/areas we are way behind the developed countries, except one sector i.e. “Telecommunication”. You can see in the above picture the call rate, which was at Rs 15.5/min has dropped to less than a Rupee/min. The telephone subscriber base has also increased a rate of 40% YoY (approx.). According to Mar’15 release by TRAI, India has 999.71 million telephone subscriber, now we are in Sep’15. We would have crossed 1 billion mark. This is the overall picture of telephone subscriber, but if we look internet and broadband subscriber base it is also very optimistic. Apart from that recently Airtel has launched 4G servic
