"The MTS customer care module enables carriers and service providers to easily manage customers' queries while enhancing those relationships through closer ties to the user and greater flexibility and adaptability to changes in the marketplace. Our Enhanced Web Self Care Module allows the end user to monitor and acquire new services directly through their own provider's web site. Similarly, carriers and service providers can manage the entire relationship with end-users and partners, driving business and customer loyalty while combating churn." The Systeam Modula suite performs data traffic management from the collection of data, optimal routing, analysis and reconciliation of the invoice, through the detection of fraud. The Usage Collection Manager acquires data in different formats and produces output files in a configurable way absorbing all changes in the incoming data. Choosing the best routing is a trade-off among its price and several technical/economic features (quality, agreement, etc..): Modula/InterTrace Least Cost Routing (LCR) module allows, starting from the price lists of interconnected Carriers with all their significant technical features (quality, sizing, routes, etc ... ), to choose the best routing using configurable rules and parameters. Information on Least Cost Routing is provided to the network as options in order of descending convenience at the Carrier level. FraudTrace is able to perform analysis on whatever kind of service in telecommunications (wireline, wireless, UMTS, Internet, etc.) and in other service domains (E-Commerce, utilities, pre-paid services, etc.) being able to be configured with a 3G language in order to rapidly implement new fraud detection algorithms. The MTS Total-e billing solution is designed to provide a converged bill of all the usage expenses of a user including landline, wireless, Value- Added Services/Content, IPTV, VoIP and data. The solution provides for mobile fixed- wireless and long distance billing to their subscribers for both pre-paid and post-paid services. The platform's interconnect billing capability is ideally suited for carriers and service providers wishing to reduce leakage in dealing with partner relationships, and offers a real money-savings alternative.
