John, I literally utilized each link on IA's website and did not see
any of that functionality. Regardless, my personal opinion is that
it's more suited for the enterprise. There are many tools that call
themselves carrier class or OSS capable, but many fall short. In my
mind, QIP is a proven app who's only downside is the cost.

I don't see the IP tool that you are talking about competing apples
for apples or even peer to peer with QIP, to be honest. They are two
different classes of application.

Last question. Are you affiliated with the company that develops and
sells the software that you are recommending? I found someone named
John L. Lee referenced as "SVP Business Development". If not, I
apologize in advance. If you are, I would appreciate a tad bit more
candor in our discussions here.
