OSS/J Pricing API: Quickly and Seamlessly Integrate Pricing Capabilities into Your OSS

This informative seminar will explain how the OSS through™ Java Initiative (OSS/J) Pricing API can reduce implementation times, and lower integration and maintenance costs. The OSS/J Pricing API acts as a standard for defining and using complex pricing data and business rules to address usage-based business model needs for the telecommunications, entertainment and utility industries.

The Pricing API provides a central point to consult and determine offers and prices based on a variety of criteria, including the specific customer's profile, location, current promotions, other parties in the transactions, factors unique to the request, and any other set of complex, possibly inter-related points.

OSS/J has been at the forefront of defining, in an open standard fashion, OSS-specific APIs and design guidelines for mainstream technologies such as J2EE and XML. This work is based in part on the TeleManagement Forum's New Generation OSS (NGOSS) shared Information/Data (SID) Model and represents an implementation view of the NGOSS architecture.
