Cerillion CCS delivers the next generation of convergent services, supporting session and event-based charging with or without unit reservation. Built around the 3GPP specifications, the system supports multiple monetary and non-monetary balances (buckets), which can be shared within a hierarchical structure or between unrelated services. Cerillion CCS allows operators to perform real-time authorisation, accounting and policy control during service delivery, with a fully compliant Diameter interface for integration with the network and upstream application platforms.
Convergent Charging System delivers key business benefits:
-
Enhanced customer experience
Cerillion CCS enhances the customer experience by enabling all customers to manage their own service-level ‘spending controls’ according to their desired budget, within the rules defined by their service provider. Online authorisation and advice of charge also offers fully transparent pricing, meaning customers know what they are spending as they consume their services, without the risk of overspend or so-called ‘bill shock’.
-
Create new revenue streams
Cerillion CCS is a service and account-type agnostic charging solution which supports the creation of innovative services and new revenue streams. By offering the capability to create multiple monetary and non-monetary balances, at service, subscriber and account levels, the system breaks down the traditional barriers between customer segments and supports the creation of hybrid services that sometimes behave according to ‘postpaid’ rules and sometimes in ‘prepaid’ mode.
-
Flexible deployment options
Cerillion CCS is a standards-based charging system, built upon the 3GPP specifications and an integral component of Cerillion’s Total Convergence Architecture (TCA). With Diameter interfaces, the system can be deployed as a standalone charging engine; as a replacement for legacy prepaid systems; or as an integral part of the Cerillion end-to-end CRM & Billing solution.
