Bill Shock Prevention
Real-Time charging resolves customer perception issues with roaming and data charges
MATRIXX Software's Bill Shock Prevention (BSP) solution enables Communications Service Providers to offer customers accurate and immediate spending visibility and alerts. Targeted particularly at data service consumption, the BSP solution eliminates the fear that can act as a drag on data ARPU, particularly in roaming scenarios. Configured as an adjunct to an existing postpaid billing or prepaid charging solution, BSP allows CSPs to rapidly deploy real-time cost control while extending their rating capabilities.
'Fear of Roaming Bill Shock Loses Operators $1.2 Billion of Revenue per year'
MATRIXX Software's BSP enables true real-time relationships for all customers so that service providers can:
- Monitor and control usage in a way that is intuitive and informative to their customers
- Provide charging and billing accuracy and transparency directly on the customer's device
- Prevent overspending and bill disputes
- Notify subscribers when they are approaching their limits
- Give high value, credit-worthy customers the option to spend more instead of throttling their services
Unified Policy and Charging
MATRIXX provides a unified solution for policy management and online charging
Traditional separation of online policy and charging solutions (OCS/PCRF) results in a fragmented real-time BSS architecture that is proving increasingly inefficient, inflexible and costly in the face of mobile broadband demands.
Enabled by the Parallel-MATRIXX™ Real-time Engine, the Unified Policy and Charging solution combines policy management, charging control and online charging in a single unified solution while significantly out-performing best-of-breed standalone policy and charging solutions.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Improves operational efficiency by providing a single, unified GUI for configuring and managing products, pricing, rating and policy rules, and a single subscriber database and provisioning interface
- Gives CSPs the ability to go beyond simple byte counting and design policies that are meaningful to the customer and the operator
- Enables context aware policy and pricing
- Enables policy and charging rules to work together to implement financial based policies
- Contains a single UDR which provides data consistency across policy and charging decisions and subsequent error reduction
- Removes the complexity and overhead of having to integrate policy and charging systems together - often from different vendors with proprietary interfaces
