ARE YOU MAKING MONEY FROM DATA? 

share email  print
Demand for mobile broadband continues to skyrocket, helped along by smart devices like the iPhone and flat-rate data pricing models. Better networks allow us to consume and produce more content; better devices allow us to do more than make a voice call, and the opening up of the mobile ecosystems allows application developers to offer more compelling services for various portable platforms.

This huge growth in data traffic is a problem for service providers who need the network capacity to meet demand. But this has a dramatic impact on their financial bottom line and their future ability to turn data into a profitable business.

So with these related network costs, how can they make money out of data services?

The answer lies in balancing charging capabilities and granular network and service control so they can create advanced and sophisticated offers that encompass both charging and policy management capabilities.

Amdocs Convergent Charging, with its unique configuration capabilities, already handles today’s diverse policy scenarios in prepaid, post-paid and convergent environments. This added policy management functionality can be applied across all lines of business and payment methods, enabling both subscriber and user-level policies.

Solution highlights:
  • Advanced charging functionality with network control features combines both charging and policy capabilities, and enables differentiation giving service providers the ability to offer advanced tiered pricing schemes

  • Provides a complete customer view across all services and networks, with a one-offer repository for all rules and policies

  • Supports B2B models and enterprise, and allows service providers to implement policies across complex customer hierarchy structures

  • Supports stand-alone policy scenarios which enable parental control and prevent ebill shock, etc.
