Online charging: how to scale massively while keeping TCO low?

As marketplace dynamics change, telecom operators face tremendous service and operational challenges. On one hand, they are under pressure to introduce, change and remove services very rapidly, and at the same time, they must respond to increased transaction volumes created by the widespread adoption of IP communications.

Consequently, they need to bring massive scalability into their systems at the lowest possible cost in order to stay competitive. Often, this requires an upgrade of their prepaid and billing systems to enable online charging, a solution that can work to differentiate services, meet customer payment demands and reduce revenue risk.

Nigel Upton, BSS Products General Manager at Hewlett Packard and Fergus O’Reilly, Chief Technical Officer at Highdeal, will explore the challenges and propose solutions to questions such as: what are the benefits of online charging, and how will online charging evolve in the future? How does online charging impact the infrastructure? What kind of performance and TCO can operators expect today? How are operators deploying online charging?
