International Turnkey Systems (ITS), and Tango Telecom have announced a strategic partnership which will see the integration of the ITS Real Time Rating and Billing Platform (TABS) with the Tango Telecom Voice and Data Converged Charging Node (CCN). The full integration of the two platforms will marry the extensive billing and account settlement functionality offered by the ITS converged billing platform with the comprehensive network call control and metering functionality supported by the Tango platform.
As the industry continues to change, presenting increasingly complex business challenges, Telecommunications service providers are searching for solutions that will give them the competitive edge to win and maintain the highest number of subscribers. They require systems that will allow them target and optimise the revenue potential from all segments within their entire subscriber base, but at the same time minimise operational costs.
The fully integrated real time convergent billing solution offered by ITS and Tango addresses these requirements from a single, open and modular platform. It provides the operator with a highly cost effective solution, from which they can maximise the revenue potential from all their offered services and network types, through the support of innovative marketing campaigns, powerful rating options and flexible charge and re-charge mechanisms.
The ITS and Tango converged solution integrates the OSS and BSS functions in real time, supporting the entire functionality set of legacy prepaid charging and billing platforms within a single, industry leading, converged solution. Operators are now able to market the same plans to all their subscriber base, prepaid and postpaid, fixed line and mobile, without having to make consideration for the platform on which the subscriber will be supported. The ITS and Tango converged solution provides a single view of the customer base, supporting cross marketing campaigns, family and multiple accounts, offers web based self management, flexible discounting and bonus schemes, advanced life cycle management and fully flexible recharge mechanisms. In addition, the open interfaces and powerful rating engine allows the seamless integration of all third party content services which can then be offered to the entire subscriber base.
