Business challenge<\/h2>\n

A leading Eastern European operator (part of a renowned Israeli multinational operating in over 90 countries) embarked on a significant journey to modernize their infrastructure. This transformation aimed to replace a legacy billing system with a state-of-the-art business support system (BSS), ensuring uninterrupted service delivery during the transition and laying a robust foundation for future technological advancements.<\/p>\n

Faced with the need to modernize their billing systems<\/a>, our client embarked on an upgrade to support both current operational demands and future technological growth. The transition involved shifting from an outdated legacy system to an advanced business support system (BSS). This upgrade was critical to ensure service continuity while preparing for new technologies like 5G and IoT<\/a>. Additionally, the BSS solution<\/a> was designed to consolidate wireline services by integrating a newly acquired fixed-line business, ensuring consistent business processes across the B2B, B2C, and wireline sectors.

    \"Future-Ready<\/p>\n

    Technology stack<\/h3>\n

    Our technological stack includes a convergent online rating\/billing system, a product catalog, order management, inventory systems, PCRF, and a REST API layer closely aligned with TMF logic. Additional components enhance the solution\u2019s robustness and efficiency: Kubernetes-based deployment, Hbase\/PostgreSQL databases, Kafka for notifications, Diameter protocol support (Gx, Gy, Ro), SS7 (CAP), IVR (SIP), and monitoring tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, and Kibana.<\/p>\n

    Advantages of the BSS deployment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Deployment of the BSS solution brought numerous advantages, including:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Enhanced operational efficiency through seamless integration with legacy systems and comprehensive resource management<\/li>\n
    • Future-proof infrastructure ready for 5G adoption network slicing, and IoT rating<\/li>\n
    • A unified platform for managing offers, products, and prices, ensuring consistency across the board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Business outcome<\/h2>\n

      Implementation of the BSS solution has profoundly transformed the client\u2019s operational capabilities, seamlessly integrating over 50 connection points with the client\u2019s existing systems through TFM-style APIs. This integration has not only modernized the client\u2019s infrastructure but also enabled the client to manage their services more effectively with a real-time convergent rating and charging system for both mobile and wireline services. The BSS platform is fully compliant with 3GPP and 5G standards, supporting advanced features like network slicing and IoT rating, which enhances their competitive edge in the dynamic telecommunications landscape.<\/p>\n

      Furthermore, the solution includes robust resource lifecycle management and a centralized administration console that streamlines operations and improves monitoring capabilities. The efficient catalog management system for offers, products, and prices ensures that the client can quickly adapt to market changes and customer needs. By partnering with Intellias, the client has successfully navigated the complexities of digital transformation, laying a strong foundation for future growth with a scalable and innovative BSS platform that keeps them at the forefront of the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
