"Through Interconnect Digicel has the capability to charge other interexchange and local exchange carriers without delay while automatically reconciling our own invoices with their incoming bills. There is a minimum requirement for staff to support the process since everything is handled by the system. As a result we can keep our operational overhead relatively low without impacting our efficiency in settling with other carriers." – Jermaine Nicolas, Interconnect Billing Executive, Digicel Copyright © 2011 CSG Systems International, Inc. and/or its affiliates (“CSG”).

CSG INTERCONNECT Wholesale Billing and Settlement Manager At the heart of CSG Interconnect lies the Settlement Manager, which offers powerful convergent interconnect rating and settlement features essential to the effective management of your interconnect operations. Combined with powerful modeling capabilities, you can intuitively manage the connectivity with other operators and business partners and the rating of all types of event and non-event traffic items to be exchanged. Reference Data Management All the repetitive tasks of loading and maintaining reference data for each agreement are simplified. The system offers an integrated bulk loader, a reference data API for integrating adjunct software and flexible data management capabilities. This significantly reduces the amount of data maintenance required and is essential for operators with large or growing numbers of agreements operating in an environment of constant change. Convergent Wholesale Rating It is essential to respond rapidly to changes in agreements, rates and business models to ensure that billing accuracy is not compromised. CSG Interconnect is a single convergent solution supporting event and non-event rating that offers the inherent flexibility to manage frequent changes to individual calls and ‘billable events’ including rated traffic, ad hoc charges, commissions, discounts, revenue share, traffic and volume agreements, etc. Accurate Rate Changes As tariff rates frequently change, operators need the flexibility to update and amend rates accurately and prevent errors and delays in realising interconnect revenues. The system offers intelligent re-pricing features that actively identify records for which rates have changed and automatically schedules re-pricing work flow for these records, minimizing the opportunities for users to make errors. Rapid Statement Generation Speed up cash flow and statement generation by exploiting Flexible Billing periods. CSG Interconnect enables the Billing Period to be segregated into Statement Type, Revenue, and Expense elements. This allows the revenue element to be closed off and settled immediately without having to wait for the cost side of the billing period to be rated and closed. Discounting And Special Charges React more quickly to market changes using the range of flexible and userdefinable discount plans. Discount traffic can be defined in detail by traffic types and data driven selection of traffic summaries, discounts can link between different network operators and across multiple periods. It is also possible to define where in the Billing Report details of discounts should be included. Data Summarization The storage of unnecessary and duplicated data can be significantly reduced with CSG Interconnect. The system’s flexible architecture enables users to specify how data should be summarized and at what level, to cut data storage needs. Also, this enables users to query summary records based on any criteria, guarantee data recoverability, view meaningful revenue assurance statistics, and ensure consistent batch throughput.
