Not currently but it is something we want to do. I'm not sure how 'deep' 
that integration would go - possible start by making invoices and 
account status available to users.

This would be programmed to an interface to make plugging in different 
accounting system APIs easier (similar to what we did with Grapher).

Most IXs (businesses) have their own unique billing requirements / 
products / services. Even in the IX space where you think it'd be 
simple, it's not! So if you're goal is to populate you billing system 
from IXP Manager then I suspect we wouldn't go that far. That is 
certainly something that can be done with scripts and either the 
database or (preferably) data sources such as the IX-F export:
