BSS/OSS Mediation
Benefits
- Enables ISV to focus and invest in core business and applications
- Reduces deployment time, cost and risk
- Small hardware and 3rd party footprint for embedded or standalone deployments
With the evolution of network technologies and increase of data volumes related to network and service usage data, independent software vendors (ISV) in the OSS/BSS business segment are facing integration challenges when offering their vertical applications to communication service providers. The task of gathering and transforming the input data to these applications is becoming increasingly complex. And it adds unnecessary time and cost – both from the initial deployment as well as from a maintenance perspective.
Mediation systems are specifically developed to deal with these tasks in a time and cost-efficient manner. By using a scalable and flexible mediation application in combination with own application offerings, ISVs can achieve significant cost savings and enable increased focus on their core businesses.
Solution
MediationZone is an integration tool that can be used to integrate any type of system through its generic data collection and processing capabilities. Designed to meet the stringent functionality, availability and scalability requirements from the billing domain, it not only offloads the other applications from the data collection requirements, but also improves the quality and security of the collection and loading processes.
MediationZone provides off-the-shelf support for all leading protocols and data formats as well as for sophisticated data analysis and transformation, such as:
- Volume reduction – correlation, aggregation, routing, filtering, load-balancing
- Format and data translation and loading
- Consolidation of data from any number of sources
A development toolkit can be used to extend the platform with custom applications. Custom applications are fully integrated in the platform, with clear demarcation lines between standard software, custom software and configuration.
MediationZone is currently used by leading ISVs in the areas of Fraud Management, Revenue Assurance, Performance Management and Credit Analysis.
