Aricent’s Online Charging and Control System (OCCS) is
a feature-rich, easily-manageable solution that complements existing OSS/BSS
systems. It enables convergence of Internet, video, voice and other media
into a single service, and facilitates convergence of prepaid and postpaid
services into a single service.
OCCS is a single platform for rapidly rolling out
complex, next-generation services such as IMS and WiMAX. It can re-use
legacy BSS and OSS components to minimize investment, and it adds value in
such application areas as:
- Online charging (pre- and post-delivery charging)
- Service bar/unbar
- Voucher management
- Reporting
- Loyalty management
