billing & rating
In the fast moving market of telecom operators today which is moving towards multi-service offerings, pricing and bundling is a key strategic weapon. In traditional billing systems (prepaid and postpaid) there is a lot of disjointed labour intensive work involved and simply cannot meet the time to market requirements of telecom business.
Pricing creativity should be unrestricted and changes need to be rolled out in hours and days and not in weeks and months. Additionally, production platforms need to be close to the network elements and have the ability to handle large volumes of transactions on line in real time.

Marketing and pricing teams are empowered with business tools that allow them to build complex and creative promotions whether this will be to address mobile billing, MVNO billing, VOIP billing or triple play billing.
