Multi-Party Settlement CSG Interconnect allows operators to maximize their profit from the delivery of services offered to subscribers and partners over new network technologies, service delivery platforms, and open infrastructure gateways. The system enables multiparty and multi-point settlements between an unlimited number and range of partners, including managing the tiering of partners, different billing arrangements and complex revenue sharing. Smart Error Management The CSG solution helps operators to be more efficient and productive by eliminating laborintensive processes of manually correcting reference data errors. Using Smart Error Management technology, data errors can be rapidly managed and corrected, to maximize billable revenue and control the auditing of all changes to EDRs. Interconect Reporting Access to critical business information is needed to effectively manage cost, revenue and margin for all interconnect partners. Standard reports are provided to meet regulatory needs, manage costs, audit billing, predict traffic data trends and issue statements. The system also provides direct and seamless access to external reporting products such as Crystal Reports. Full Rating Support CSG Interconnect offers full rating of data (e.g.,SMS) and content (e.g.,MMS) traffic, in addition to traditional voice traffic for a variety of different scenarios including multi-step and multicomponent rating rules. Matrix Rating offers the ability to perform advanced rating, using a combination of user-defined fields. This is extremely useful when it comes to introducing new products and services where rating variables cannot be anticipated in advance. Advanced Revenue Sharing Revenue share agreements for wholesale content billing are becoming far more complex, as a result of highly involved tariffing, personalized content, and performance-based agreements. CSG Interconnect offers advanced revenue share capabilities, including flexible weighting of revenueshares to encourage partners, this addresses regional interconnect variants and next-generation content services. Volume Based Rating The Volume Based Rating feature enables operators to gain or give incentives to partners based on the volume of data transacted over a given period. It caters for multi-conditional volume thresholds and provides the ability to apply penalty rates based on a range of options. Usage thresholds can also be specified as a percentage of criteria, e.g. commitment is that 20% of traffic should be mobile.
