B-oo-levard® is a completely new developed rating and billing system. The distinctive advantages are not only the rich functionality combined in one single process, the B-oo-levard® OneStepRating, but also in truely cost efficient benefits. This is why it makes absolute sense for the communications service provider to consider replacement of their current platform:

Efficient system implementation and integration

• use of industry-standard platforms (Oracle® and Java) and components to provide complete hardware and software plaform indepence, thus reducing associated cost

• complete "out-of-the-box" functionality: all features, e.g. BestOptionBilling, Revenue Sharing and 3rd Party Billing, Loyalty Program, etc.

• comprehensive and open APIs and EAI adaptors, reducing the time to implement and integrate, while increasing reliability and accuracy

Efficient day-to-day operation

• rating, billing, and error processing are automated and controllable by standard applications

• any change to or implementation of new products, services, tariff plans, and discounting may be done via the B-oo-levard® SelfAssemblyProcess without programming or external support; and to update your product and tariff catalogue you don't have to stop your system

• end-to-end revenue assurance means and in-built Business Account Aggrgegation ease collecting revenues and controlling cost

Efficient software

• Since B-oo-levard® is a new devlopment using industry-standard platforms license fees and maintainance cost are inexpensive

• for bugfixing only small Java classes have to be corrected and replaced - with no down-turn of the operational system

• to add functionality or to upgrade to the next release, e.g. to make use of Oracle 10g, is no big effort

Efficient use of hardware

• using standard functionalities certain events may be priritized over others, e.g. highest priority for advice-of-charge requests, second to prepaid event control , and so no

• B-oo-levard®'s tuneable real-time capabilities let you prioritize critical tasks over less less important off-line jobs in general as well

• the full hardware distribution capability reduces cost by multi-machine implementation leading to reduces cost for hardware, licenses, and upgrading while availability is improved

• B-oo-levard® grows and adapt with your system - without re-coding; the inherent flexibility ensures investment into an open, extendable system
