Online Charging and Control System (OCCS)

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
