OSS/BSS solutions provider Telarix will begin providing its iXBrasil billing solution – a version of its iXTools software module – to operators in Brazil for use in managing their national billing. The service is available to operators throughout the country as a SaaS solution (Software as a Service), designed to enable them to take advantage of the iXBrasil billing solution on a subscription basis.
Telarix further announced it will roll out similar domestic iXTools billing solutions to countries throughout Latin America in the near future. The company is demonstrating the iXBrasil SAAS solution at Futurecom this week in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"By taking advantage of this robust SaaS solution, operators gain unprecedented visibility into their interconnect agreements and enhanced billing capabilities through the use of a state of the art platform for their interconnection businesses," said Glen Kazerman, Telarix CEO.
iXBrasil was first developed to provide a flexible tool for managing Telco cost and producing financial traffic analysis and reporting. The flexible system also enables service providers to eliminate revenue leakage by ensuring that all calls are captured, rated and invoiced correctly, the company said. And as a SaaS solution, carriers do not need any hardware and can take advantage of the robust software module simply by participating in Telarix Workshops to define and validate business rules, along with configuration of their current interconnection agreements.
Once the initial setup is completed, iXBrasil is fed with a daily CDR flow. At the end of the billing cycle, iXBrasil provides all invoices as well as reconciliation features, alerts and a wide range of reporting capabilities. Interconnection standards set by ANATEL and the Standardization DETRAF group is reflected in the system features. iXBrasil handles local and long distance calls (indirect access calls using CSPs).
By utilizing this cost-efficient billing solution, Telarix says carriers gain enhanced interoperability with service providers around the world, the vast majority of whom rely on Telarix for comprehensive management, optimization and settlement solutions for their interconnect agreements. As a result, the additional transparency helps to improve business and competitive inter carrier relationships.
