Implement sophisticated rating and charging policies to launch new services instantly!

The different billing methods (postpaid and prepaid) as well as the emergence of advanced services have increased the complexity of charging for the operators.
Therefore, the legacy architecture, based on two separated systems (CDR based billing system for postpaid subscribers and IN system based for the prepaid customers) is no longer adequate.
In this context and with more than 10 years experience in charging platform, EVISTEL has developed the Convergent Rating and Charging solution.


The Convergent rating and charging solution provides operators with the same charging policy for prepaid and postpaid subscribers, allowing them to face the new charging challenges: new services, multiple access methods and third party interworking.
The Convergent rating and charging solution is a complete solution which can be integrated with bearers' control, account management, street sellers...


The Convergent rating and charging solution has been conceived and designed according to the following key ideas:

- simple charging configuration
- third parties support: content providers, MVNOs...
- available for all networks: mobile (2G, 3G, ETSI, ANSI...), fixed, Internet...
- includes all services: voice, video, SMS, MMS, WAP...
- designed for all usages: music streaming, content download...
- eased interoperability: billing layer interoperability with standard or specific interfaces of the billing vendor, network and services platform interoperability with standard protocols (INAP, Diameter...) or via dedicated EVISTEL gateway if needed.
- compatible with all interfaces and protocols
- modular, scalable and high availability (99.999%) platform
- web based GUI and dedicated tools for system management


Benefits for operators:

- Increase in ARPU with the rapid implementation of new services
- Simplification of the legacy infrastructure and use of one single billing system instead of two
- Fast deployment and easy integration
