Optiva 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.
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.
Matt Halligan, CTO of Optiva
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.
