In Spotlight : CRESTEL's Convergent Rating & Charging
Benefits
Deploying Crestel Convergent system benefits the entire ecosystem. These benefits are categorized as below:
Benefits to Customers
Smooth switching between prepaid and postpaid services: Convergence gives customers the benefit to switch from one plan to another and from one payment type to another based on their service requirements and preference of payment type.
Better value for money: The customers feel in total control of services they use. They get a choice to choose what’s best for them since now they have a variety of product bundles to choose from. They can also subscribe to supplementary services or do away with them, as and when desired.
Budgetary Control: A wide range of products enables customers to take a pick of what best suits their needs and budget in either prepaid or postpaid payment types.
Transparency: Self-care portals provide information when needed, where needed. Providers are also able to keep the customer well informed using notifications that can be sent via different mediums informing them about new products in the offing, bill information, payment reminders and the like.
Benefits to Service Providers
Ability to offer attractive product bundles: Crestel’s convergence gives providers a competitive edge by enabling them to create and offer attractive product bundles for both prepaid and postpaid offerings, rapidly. It also provides comprehensive voucher management for prepaid offerings.
Real-time Credit Control: Ithelps providers manage real-time credit control mechanisms to prevent credit overruns and manage their credit risk. This also helps them keep revenue-leakage at bay.
Low Cost of Ownership: An increase in subscriber base or number of partners does not necessarily increase capital or operational expenditure. Built on J2EE technology, the system is scalable and is designed to run multiple instances across multiple machines. Crestel thus reduces the total cost of ownership and response time for providers.
Revenue Sharing and Partner Settlement: Crestel enables providers to efficiently manage partners and settlements. It ably handles rating complexities involved when multiple content-types and partners come into the picture.
Easily Integrated with 3rd Party Systems: Providers look out for systems that can easily be integrated with third party systems. Crestel API’s ensure seamless third party integrations.
Increase in Customer Loyalty and Retention: Providing value and flexibility enables providers in retaining and increasing subscriber base in a competitive market.
Benefits to Content Partners
New Revenue Stream: Tying up with providers for offering content opens up a new revenue stream for content partners.
