The company OSS Visibility Index focuses specifically on the companies in the OSS industry. Rankings are based on many factors. Data is compiled on a regular basis from several online sources, including OSS News Review internal data, as well as other factors that OSS News Review monitors throughout the month.

1. billing
2. interconnect billing

Billing and revenue assurance continue to be popular, but interconnect billing jumped to 2nd overall for the month. Mobile went down a few spots to fifth overall, perhaps in line with reports that consumers are buying fewer cell phones.
Mediation was previously 7th but is now 14th (telecom mediation) OSS/J went down a few spots, as OSS/J was previously 9th. Top-up billing, a newcomer to the list during June 2008, is nowhere to be found this month.
While the industry product and service OSS Visibility Index focuses on products and services provided by OSS companies, OSS News Review found it helpful to include data that does not necessarily describe an OSS industry specific product or service.
