Convergence moves into the spotlight, says Orga
Operators are keeping a firm eye on CapEx and OpEx, but there are clear signs of an upturn in the market as they start to invest in next generation services with recent emphasis on end-to-end convergent solutions, designed to consolidate and upgrade existing systems. According to a recent market trends paper on New Drivers in Billing, published by Analysys Research Group, Real-time Rating capabilities and Convergent Charging Platforms (closing the gap between IN and billing) are amongst the key issues to be addressed.
Following the launch of several industry initiatives - like the foundation of the Fixed-Mobile Convergence Alliance (FMCA), the role out of the first Convergent BCC Systems as well as the ongoing work of telecom related OSS/BSS Associations - the issue of convergence finally moves into the spotlight.
Delivering True Prepay/Postpay Convergence: ORGA Systems and Martin Dawes Systems (MDS), both established and experienced players in the world of postpaid and prepaid billing/CRM have joined forces to launch a unique Convergent Prepaid/Postpaid BCC System. The solution has been specifically designed to accurately meet the needs of operators looking to address the market challenge of prepaid/postpaid Convergence.
