As operators move towards a point of sale model, the service delivery environment is undergoing a drastic change. To adequately deliver and charge for many of the new lucrative data services, old ideas like cost-plus charging and the static customer concept are being overtaken by value based charging and customer interactivity - and we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. Operators are facing enormous challenges when deploying these interactive, on-demand, and value-based services on the next generation of packet-based networks.
Many operators seek to meet these challenges through Active OSS solutions.
Some of the functions provided by Active OSS include: Access Control (Is this user authorized to view/use these services?)
Advice of Charge (This service costs $1.50. Do you want to continue?)
Balance Management (Does the subscriber have the funds or credit available?)
Payment Flexibility (For combination post-pay, pre-pay, or pay-now charging structures.)
User Authentication (Is this an authorized subscriber? Are they post-paid only?)
Temporary services (such as bandwidth boosters)
Third-party Service Level Agreements and Risk Mitigation (Your content partner says they delivered 20,356 java games to your customers last month- can you confirm that?)
Value Based Pricing (Moving away from the transport cost model - at last!)
Loyalty Point Programs (how can I retain my best customers?)
Join us on Wednesday, January 26th for a free interactive webinar on how some of the worlds largest operators are addressing these same challenges.
