What is CDR?

    CDR is an abbreviation for the term Call Detail Recording. It is the data that is submitted by your telephone system to a collection device linked to your call accounting package. The data contains particular information about every telephone call including date, time, duration, digits dialed and trunk line. Often the term SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording is used interchangeably with CDR). The "raw" information is generally interpreted and translated into a database for real time or scheduled processing and reporting.

Telecom Facts

When asked what business problem they are trying to solve, 32 percent of large-enterprise respondents to a recent Yankee Group survey say “lowering the overall cost of voice and data networking” is the objective. Survey respondents say domestic long distance calling, international long-distance and local telephony connections are the three areas that would deliver the highest cost savings.
