Traffic Billing

The importance of managing interconnect activities is significant. Interconnect business typically generates 30-60% of the overall revenues of a fixed and mobile operator and can account for up to 30% of operating costs (rising to 70% for certain types of operators). Based on this, interconnection is a key area for optimisation and managing accuracy and fraud.

TOP REASONS TO OUTSOURCE

  • Cost of Ownership : The managed service provides you the lowest cost of ownership with optimal cash flow.
  • Reduced Operational Expenditure : No need to maintain or train staff or be dependent on headcounts
  • Quality : Both in terms of latest technology and industry benchmark.
  • No Hardware : No worries about upgrades if you have no hardware or software to run.
  • Scalability : We perform 200 billion transaction activities per month and serve over 650 operators.
  • Service : A dedicated 24/7 expert team provides services and support functions in several languages.

The Managed Service Approach

The service bureau, which is supported by a state-of-the-art interconnect billing solution, acts as a dedicated service unit for each client, providing complete system management, all reference data input tasks and all error CDR investigations and corrections.

   
Key features:
  • Input into the billing, accounting and control cycles.
  • Accurate monthly financial positions of all business partners.
  • Catering for all traffic types and call cases.

This is another powerful argument for outsourcing as our solution handles billing system upgrades and reconfigurations for any client or service – saving each one of them significant sums and adding extensive additional functionality in the form of rating, storage and re-processing.

Finally it is generally accepted that, on average, the level of unreconciled CDRs reaches 4-5% each month for most operators. The significant and avoidable financial loss which arises as a result is another strong justification for outsourcing.
