Based on and as a complement to Intec's market-leading interconnect and mediation products, the Intec Roaming revenue management and settlement solution allows operators to be less reliant on third-party data clearing houses, thereby further boosting cashflow and financial transparency. By bringing control of the roaming settlement processes in-house, operators can integrate roaming as part of a broader wholesale management strategy. For a group of operators within a parent company, the solution can also function as a group-wide clearing house, providing clear economies of scale and simplified roaming business processes. For existing Intec wholesale business customers, Intec Roaming provides a clear and cost-effective path to taking charge of all aspects of their roaming operations.
"Our new Roaming Solution enables customers to react faster to industry changes and reduce overall costs associated with roaming traffic," explained Simon Pincus, Intec VP of Product Management. "By helping our customers improve their competitive performance, including a shorter-time-to-market launch for new products, they can concentrate more effectively on their most valuable customers, their high ARPU users."
"As a solution compliant with the policies established by the GSM Association, Intec Roaming provides Vivo with the agility required in a competitive environment, enabling us to close roaming agreements in flexible ways and improve revenue through this type of traffic," said Leo Petersen, Vivo Director of Interconnection and Roaming. "From a security perspective, the solution is robust, relying on the NRTRDE, HUR and Points of Control modules, thereby guaranteeing successful roaming transactions, while alerting us to possible cases of fraud and preventing revenue loss. The solution is easy-to-use and easy to learn, enabling Vivo to provide it more broadly internally."
Among many key features of Intec's Roaming Solution is support for the GSM Association-defined 'Rejects and Returns Procedure' (RAP). RAP provides operators with a mechanism to handle erroneous TAP files and call event records, resulting in fewer TAP files and records reaching any inter-operator dispute process. This improves inter-operator invoicing and settlement and cuts operating costs.
The solution also supports the new requirements for near real-time roaming data exchange (NRTRDE), which is crucial to minimize potential revenue loss associated with pre-paid roaming. End-to-end support for the roaming business process is underpinned by Intec's proven, high performance and scalable architecture, providing the user with a robust platform for future growth and change.
