Wholesale billing
Monetizing the network and add value in wholesale
While demand for wireless services, data, streaming content, distribution, and broadband continues to grow, operator revenues from network and wholesale customers are under pressure. Wholesale providers face two key challenges:
- Firstly, to cost-effectively rate and bill the growing number of transactions that are carried across their networks
- Secondly, to monetize their network assets by enhancing the services and support demanded by today’s increasingly complex and demanding wholesale customers
The importance of advanced, convergent wholesale billing
Many operators simply do not have sufficiently flexible BSS to meet these two key challenges. By upgrading to a smart, convergent billing solution, one that easily integrates with existing systems without the cost and risk of a ‘rip and replacement’ deployment, operators derive several benefits:
- Scalability - a system that scales to handle the growing volumes of products and transactions that wholesale operators need to handle
- Charging convergence - centralized charging, both online and offline, for any service, network, event or subscription-based charge or payment method with network-grade performance
- Flexibility - the ability to handle a diverse range of products, services and transaction-types
- Customer specific pricing - enabling the wholesale operator to offer negotiated price structures and volume discounts to each client
Convergys has a proven track record of supporting many of the world’s leading wholesale providers.
