MaxCatalog, MaxBill’s convergent Product Catalog system, synchronizes and integrates product information across all BSS/OSS applications, such as billing, rating, order management and provisioning. By eliminating the need to maintain separate product catalogs for varied services in numerous systems, MaxCatalog enables users to optimize and scale the product management process.

With full control of multiple aspects of service and product offerings, MaxCatalog provides increased service assurance, reduced overhead of multiple product management, cost savings for installation, maintenance and training, increased customer satisfaction and an improved customer experience.

As the core element of Telekom Austria’s product offering, MaxBill’s Product Catalog enables centralized management of all the extensive interdependencies of Telekom Austria’s existing product base.

“Our Product Catalog is designed to meet Telekom Austria’s standards of operational excellence and accommodate its move towards a more autonomous project approach, by integrating product information from disparate structures into a centralized, standalone repository,” said Hadar Himmelman, CEO of MaxBill. “The deployment of MaxBill’s Product Catalog in Telekom Austria’s complex IT landscape ensures sophisticated customer service, huge inventory savings and reduced operational costs, as well as a strengthened and stabilized business methodology.”

“Telekom Austria began reaping the benefits of MaxBill’s Product Catalog as early as its initial launch,” said Franz Fertl, Head of Applications Development at Telekom Austria. “From the start, we realized MaxCatalog’s ability to reduce errors, and ensure fast time to market and operational savings. With MaxCatalog serving as a convergent repository for voice and data services, Telekom Austria is able to manage numerous products simultaneously and support rapid product deployment.”
