Comverse Enhances Its Real-time Billing And Prepaid Solution

Comverse’s enhanced real-time billing platform provides carriers with new tools to maximise profitability in current and next-generation mobile services and the ability to offer innovative, real-time service packages. Version 4.25 was developed to be flexible, modular, scalable and capable of supporting many millions of active end users. Carriers will no longer need to request changes from their billing partner every time a new data service or service package is introduced. With 4.25, carriers can quickly introduce and promote new services and redefine tariffs, without requiring new software releases or major database upgrades. These enhancements are designed to immediately improve operational efficiency and deliver rapid ROI. The Comverse 4.25 release offers a new approach to balance management, with features specifically designed to support the introduction of next-generation services. The system has a modular design so new functionality can be easily added as new services are launched. Carriers can choose from usage and content-based billing schemes. Multiple balances can be defined for airtime, data services, SMS, MMS, or any other billable event. These balances can be used to reward customers when they recharge their account, when they reach a particular usage threshold, or when they sample new service offerings.
