TELECOM BILLING SOFTWARE

Telecom Billing with EngageIP Telecom Billing is the strategic choice for service providers seeking telco grade performance and reliability by offering Prepaid Telecom and Postpaid Telecom services, billing for call usage, offer flexible call plans, and comprehensive call rates through multiple Telecom call legs to achieve maximum business efficiency.

As the demand for voice traffic increases Telcos are looking for new ways to accommodate the demand and service providers to expand their service offerings and leverage existing network resources.

TELECOM BILLING PROCESS

Billing for Telecom services not only requires provisioning the service with a carrier/provider but also provision the service within the billing system. From Telecom service creation and classification to provisioning the service internally; importing CDRs from multiple sources and rating to billing and bill presentment (sending invoices to end customers); the EngageIP Telecom Billing system allows service providers to efficiently manage and accurately bill all aspects of end customer Telecom usage.

TELECOM FRAUD MANAGEMENT AND LEAKAGE FREE CDR RATING

With its robust authentication and rating capabilities, EngageIP Telecom Billing enables Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSP) to make the most of their service offerings while protecting valuable revenue streams through its fraud management capabilities, leakage free CDR rating and revenue assurance functionality.

LOCAL CALL DETECTION

Calls are categorized as Local, Regional, National or International. Regional and National minute buckets are defined at the service level and can be individually tweaked for each phone line. The system allows for late detection and rejection of local calls, if you discover they are leaking through.

For example, ABCtel offers local Telecom service to the Fort Myers area. Marketing wants to offer Regional free minute buckets in LATAs bordering Fort Myers and a National free minute bucket for US calls.

TELECOM RATING ARCHITECTURE

Advanced rating system is more dynamic than traditional rating tables. Providers converting their rate plans can have up to 70% fewer price points to manage and with less chance of revenue leakage. Old style LERG tables have been upgraded to a geography tree. Rates can be attached anywhere on the tree. Rates can be configured with any desired granularity, be it one rate for a country or fine tuned down to individual long distance dialing patterns.
