RateIntegration, the leading provider of Revenue Lifecycle Management Solutions, and Sicap AG, a leading software company specializing in mobile applications for wireless carriers, have recently announced that Swisscom Mobile has gone live with Sicap’s Price Broker Suite for pre-paid revenue assurance.

Sicap’s Price Broker Suite has been deployed as an online system for the re-pricing of network calls and data sessions. This system provides revenue assurance on all prepaid services for Swisscom Mobile’s 1.6 million prepaid subscribers. The Price Broker Suite solution handles all the Revenue Assurance functions of Swisscom Mobile’s previous solution while also addressing new business requirements for revenue assurance related to pricing models, call scenarios, and data services.

The Sicap Price Broker Suite is part of RateIntegration’s PriceMaker Enterprise Pricing Server, which Swisscom Mobile is using to gain flexibility, control leakage and increase subscriber loyalty. Combining Sicap’s Price Broker Suite with RateIntegration’s PriceMaker Enterprise Pricing Server enables Swisscom Mobile to:

· Manage multiple revenue streams for voice, messaging and data/content in real-time

· Cover all business domains i.e. roaming partners, content providers, dealer network

· Quickly and easily integrate MVNO`s

· Ensure SOX compliance of Revenue Assurance Operations and Reporting

· Easy implementation of standard tariffs and tactical promotional offers

· Provide flexible standard reporting & configurable alerting mechanism

· Offer an analytic user-interface for fraud investigation and probing

The PriceMaker software architecture offers extremely flexible real-time pricing and a framework that has facilitated a very rapid deployment at Swisscom Mobile. For revenue assurance solutions, these capabilities enable companies to deploy solutions quickly and provide a cost-effective approach to implementing business rules for comprehensive re-pricing of call scenarios.

PriceMaker’s integrated business rules editor allows business stakeholders and analysts to directly author and verify pricing policies in real-time thereby eliminating the involvement – and associated extra time and costs – needed from technical staff. The real-time editing capability is critical to ensure that Swisscom Mobile’s revenue assurance solution can evolve as new services are offered or as new MVNOs are added to Swisscom’s business model. Furthermore, PriceMaker-enabled solutions have been designed to be IMS-ready so that operators can take advantage of the emerging 3GPP standards framework for monetizing IP services.

“We are excited about the quality of Sicap’s Price Broker application and the speed in which the platform has been developed and deployed. Very seldom do we receive such innovative and mature solutions for acceptance,” said Rose Moura, Director, Revenue Assurance at Swisscom Mobile. “Sicap’s technology has fulfilled all our requirements and we plan use it for future revenue assurance related programs.”

Kam Mehta, channel and business development manager for Sicap AG added, “We are happy that Swisscom Mobile chose to leverage our revenue assurance solution and look forward in supporting them in a production environment. Solutions such as the one we implemented for Swisscom Mobile help carriers to improve flexibility and increase subscriber loyalty.”

“We are excited about working with Sicap to deliver state-of-the-art revenue assurance at Swisscom Mobile,” said Thomas Thekkethala, CEO of RateIntegration. “With the economics, performance, and capabilities of PriceMaker-based solutions, carriers can implement granular, robust, real-time assurance solutions that bring an immediate return on investment.”
