Business Planning
Business Planning

Built upon FTS’ BCCF technology (Business Control & Charging Function), FTS Billing utilizes the platform’s patented visual Decision Operation Tree (DO Tree™) to design and implement business rules – including rating, prepaid/post-paid convergent services, cross-service promotions, balance management, and more. Users can define new business plans for facilitating the delivery of services, bundled packages and valid market segments seamlessly and on the fly.

Online Charging
Online Charging

FTS Billing’s convergent charging engine is uniquely suited to handle a large volume of online charging transactions with carrier-grade latency, supporting Authorization & Authentication (AA), multiple sessions balance management, and ad-hoc balance allocation.

Event Handling
event-based engine supported by an event-driven core that triggers all system activities

An event-based engine supported by an event-driven core that triggers all system activities, the event handler processes any event reaching Leap Billing via any method – active mediation, batch files, API call, or web services – to then normalize it to any format that can be processed by the business-rules engine.

Balance Management
Balance-Management module

The FTS Billing Balance-Management module counts and accumulates any numeric attribute, including currency, volume, duration, number of downloads, number of balance top-ups, and number of failed login attempts. This flexibility supports differentiated service offerings, giving operators free rein to respond to their subscribers’ needs in real time.

Guiding
dynamic guiding by any event attribute

FTS Billing supports dynamic guiding by any event attribute. For each type of service, CSPs have the freedom to define unique identifiers for service and user, guiding events to specific types of subscribers. This freedom enables them, for example, to guide voice usage based on IMSI, data-usage based on user ID, and content based on the external ID of a service-delivery platform.

Real-time Execution
Real-time Execution

FTS BCCF’s dynamic business-rules engine executes in real time the service rules to which events are guided, including charging, discounting, enforcing credit limits and balance thresholds, allowances, loyalty points, messaging, service provisioning, resource operations, and many more. This affords CSPs the flexibility to widen their scope of revenue-generating services.

Customer Service Management

Self Care
self-care facility that empowers authorized subscribers
