Telcos benefit from convergent charging in a
private cloud infrastructure with greater capacity to monetize 5G
and IoT use cases and maintain option for public cloud evolution in
the future
TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2022 /CNW/ - Optiva Inc. ("Optiva" or
the "Company") (TSX: OPT), a leader in providing communications
service providers (CSPs) worldwide with cloud-native revenue
management software on the private and public cloud, has launched
Optiva Charging Engine private and public cloud edition. The new
release enables operators that are not ready to move to the public
cloud to reap its benefits while on the private cloud and maintain
security, control and adherence to regulatory requirements.
Two telecom operators, a Tier 1 and Tier 2 in EMEA, are
currently transitioning to the new Optiva Charging Engine version
on their private clouds. The new release builds upon the previous
version's capabilities with the added power and performance of
Google Cloud Platform automation tools and site reliability
engineering (SRE) methodologies available on the private cloud.
This enables operators to access new features and functionalities
through a centrally managed approach and have the freedom to
experiment, test new services in a fast/fail mode with little risk
and put focus on the customer experience.
"It is mission critical for CSPs that cannot move to the public
cloud to have the means to accelerate 5G services such as fixed
wireless access (FWA), mobile broadband (MBB) and bundling. Working
with cloud-based solutions such as Optiva Charging Engine affords
CSPs the transformational possibilities of cloud innovation and
accessibility to partners and ecosystems to accelerate their
business success," said Karl
Whitelock, Research VP Communications SP Operations &
Monetization at IDC.
Deployment of BSS in the cloud enables operators to gain
advantages of scaling, healing, flexible release management,
end-to-end test automation and greater savings on total cost of
ownership (TCO). Operators can replace customizations with
streamlined product configuration for easy integration and faster
time to market. Further, enhanced user experience, customer
experience, real-time engagement and customer empowerment are
attained through self-serve APIs, open architecture and on-the-fly
insights with cloud-based, AI-driven real-time data.
"Optiva was the first mover to BSS on the public cloud four
years ago. We invested those learnings and developed the new Optiva
Charging Engine release to serve telecom operators that want to
leverage cloud innovation on a private cloud platform. We are proud
to offer operators this technology to bring to market new use
cases, expand segments such as IoT, grow mission-critical
capabilities and advance their digital transformation journey,"
said Matt Halligan, CTO of
Optiva.
