Why NewNet Voice and Rating Solutions?
Why is Invigorate Right for You?
As the convergence of advanced voice and data services gathers
momentum, service providers (SPs) must implement a progressive and
flexible real-time charging and rating system to capture the potential
revenue generated by these services. SPs face increasing demands in
capacity, with mounting pressure to reduce costs and implement facilities
such as service nodes. At the same time, SPs confront more complex
business models and relationships as new types of service providers
evolve, including content providers and mobile virtual network operators
(MVNOs).
Invigorate solution answers this critical need by bringing a world-class
technology and providing a complete solution which simplifies and
automates the complex tasks surrounding rating and charging in a
collaborative, multi-partner and multi-price service provider environment.
For SPs, Invigorate enables a single point of control and an unified
view of subscriber purchasing behavior, allowing SPs to take immediate
advantage of every selling opportunity. Subscribers can utilize services
more effectively based on pricing, quality of service and usage patterns,
resulting in increased average profit per user, improved loyalty and
reduced churn.
The Invigorate solution is modular and based on open standards for lower
risk and cost-effective implementation. Also, since it can handle even
the most complex multi-price packaging and service bundling demands,
Invigorate helps accelerate the launching of new services and collection
of the revenues they generated, and thus maximizes the return on
investment (ROI).
Invigorate Benefits

concepts by processing an infinitely

system integration in terms of
customer’s current / future business
modules, various signaling gateways,
and value-add partners
Portable / Scalable Solution

hardware platforms, work with various
operating systems, and adhere to
commercially demanded scalability
and reliability requirements

Invigorate Product Portfolio
Real-Time Rating and Discounting
Whether a transaction is voice or data-based, simultaneous voice and
data usage, prepaid or postpaid, Invigorate is designed to efficiently
perform explicit operator-defined rating instructions and include robust
rating features such as offers, promotions, bundles, and “joined accounts”
at a low Total Cost of Ownership.
Rate Management

Invigorate’s Customer Care web portal allows customer service
representatives to view all subscriber account history, as well as modify
subscriber account details, adjust balances, view usage and recharge
history, while the subscriber self-care portal allows subscribers to manage

discount cutting edge services based upon customer unique preferences,
while simultaneously encouraging the use of additional revenuegenerating applications.
