MACH Billing – ensures billing of new services
Publication: 18.09.2007
Update of the Billing System
Even though the regular updates of the TAP format cater for the charging of new services when roaming, operators still have to ensure implementation of these new formats into the billing system.
Operators can either choose to update their billing system, use a conversion service or benefit from MACH Billing.
MACH Billing
MACH’s solution delivers a high level of functionality that enables 2G operators to launch 3G services. The solution covers the outsourcing of billing system components related to roaming:
-
Rating of files using one or multiple IOTs
- TAP file generation
- Monitoring of file flow for errors
- Support for new and enhanced services such as Video Telephony
- Testing of new roaming partners
- Splitting and merging TAP file streams according to service type
MACH Billing means that operators will not require billing system updates when:
-
Roaming standards are changed, eg updates of the TAP format from the GSMA
-
New roaming services are introduced
- all minimising time-to-market for every operator.
In addition, MACH Billing is proven to reduce costs – not only due to the requirements for less billing system maintenance and updates, but also due to a decreased need for training and less dependency on specialised TAP knowledge.
So, if you want to ensure the effective charging of all 3G services for roamers, minimise time-to-market and decrease costs, the 3G Billing Platform is your key to success.
