DigitalRoute partners MetraTech, the leading provider of Agreements-Based Billing™, Commerce and Settlement solutions to provide communications service providers (CSPs) with a proven solution to rapidly enable and monetize next generation services, including unified communications, digital, cloud, and M2M/IoT delivered over new, fourth-generation LTE networks. DigitalRoute’s MediationZone platform paired with MetraTech’s MetraNet solution will enable CSPs to reduce time to market and monetize innovative services in an evolving 4G backbone virtualized with Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for cloud-like responsiveness.
DigitalRoute and MetraTech have both integrated their solutions based on SDN and NFV to handle metering and charging of a virtualized service offering for a North American Tier 1 operator. DigitalRoute and MetraTech’s solution delivers a significant advantage to operators who are striving to achieve a competitive advantage with increased service velocity, and service differentiation to existing and new customers, according to a joint statement.
“DigitalRoute is well-positioned to meet the changing needs of a communications marketplace that will in the future rely on automated data management functions to address a growing number of customer-centric business issues. Billing must now address the new business models and agreements between CSPs, an ecosystem of partners and a growing number of B2B relationships across vertical industries. As service providers compete and partner with over-the-top players and look for new sources of revenue, they must deploy services faster, deliver differentiation to customers and compensate partners”
