Seen loads of the running, (Granite's Xpercom which I have used a lot
in the POS industry and which is a pain, Telcordia which back then was
known to be even worse...), none of them was worth a dime...

it did mass provisioning and inventory systems for a whole national
DSL unbundling architecture in France. Takes some time and patience to
mix/tune them together, but once done ...
