Convergence – old hat with new challenges

Paderborn (Germany), 19 April 2011: Simply spoken, operators, when talking about convergence, expect one view of the customer, one product catalogue, and one rating engine. In order to provide a common platform for voice, data and the internet, convergent platforms need to be IT based. This has proven a challenge to the BSS vendors due to real-time requirements of the prepaid world and the number of subscribers. Orga Systems offers a fully convergent solution that is IT based and meets the most stringent of requirements of MNOs. Because of its network agnostic, the solution allows for operators to choose the best network provider based on their network coverage requirements and not on how the network is monetized.

With more than 140M subscribers on one single system rated with a latency lower than 3.9ms, scalability and performance are outstanding and can be achieved on standard hardware at 33% lower cost.

Operators’ need for convergence
To meet operators’ demands for convergence, end-to-end convergent billing solutions have to offer real-time charging, billing and financial management capabilities. They have to handle charging and billing for all services, customer segments and payment methods, enabling them to bill any product & service, realize real-time rating & charging for all service and product types, use any payment method with a single-bill view in real time.
