Symphonica and Totogi Unveil Service Orchestration-as-a-Service and Charging-as-a-Service Cloud Solutions
MIAMI, US. 19th September 2023 – The telecommunications industry is currently in the throes of a profound transformation, marked by several key insights. Notably, a significant trend has emerged in the form of comprehensive modernisation efforts targeting legacy systems. Within this landscape, telecom companies are directing substantial investments toward the revitalisation of outdated systems to accommodate new services and elevate operational efficiency. This endeavour is crucially important in keeping up with the relentless pace of technological advancements and the evolving expectations of customers.
Operators are grappling with the limitations of legacy systems. These outdated billing, charging, and OSS systems lack the agility and scalability needed to support modern services such as 5G and NaaS, SASE and others. The challenge of integrating new systems with existing infrastructure further compounds this issue, often leading to operational inefficiencies and increased costs.
The telecommunications industry is currently witnessing several transformative trends. One of the most significant is the shift towards cloud adoption. Many telecom companies are migrating their billing, charging, and OSS systems to the cloud, seeking to enhance scalability and flexibility. This move not only supports the growing volume of data but also enables faster response to market changes.
Companies are increasingly automating their billing and charging processes, aiming to reduce errors and improve efficiency. This shift is crucial in maintaining billing accuracy and minimizing revenue leakage. The advent of 5G and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) is also driving substantial changes, necessitating more flexible and scalable billing and charging systems to support these advanced services.
Expanding on this, the need for real-time charging capabilities is also growing as services become more complex. Real-time charging ensures accurate billing, thereby reducing revenue leakage and improving customer satisfaction. Companies are focusing on improving the customer experience, offering more personalized and flexible billing options to meet diverse customer needs.
