Automating a communications service provider’s (CSP’s) roaming data exchange and roaming settlement processes and enabling data to be shared across a group of CSPs require the deployment of purpose-built systems certified for compliance with the applicable standards and procedures. RSS, a group of software products developed by Nexign, provides every tool a small-sized network operator or a huge nationwide service provider may need to manage their roaming arrangements.
In an era of breakneck competition, it is becoming increasingly important for telecom carriers to manage partner settlement efficiently. While growing rapidly, the communications market is heading towards a more challenging business environment in which a carrier's financial results depend not only on the volume of services it delivers or the rates it offers but, to a large extent, on its partners’ rates. With this in mind, it is appropriate to ask what the carrier should do to build transparent partnerships in the market and make the most of them.
