Convergent Billing System

The telecom market has changed dramatically over the past decade with mobile devices, over-the-top communication services such as video streaming, the Internet of Things (IoT) and a moderation in demand for traditional voice services, all acting as major industry disruptors.

As IoT and 5G become even more prevalent, the complexities of telecom billing and operations will continue to increase. To stay competitive and grow with the market, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) will need to replace legacy billing systems with convergent billing systems that offer greater flexibility and cost-saving efficiencies.
