Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) announced the successful completion of a charging consolidation program for Vodafone Idea Ltd. (VIL), replacing three existing Online Charging Solutions (OCS) with Ericsson Charging as the single OCS solution across India. This consolidated online charging solution with integrated data policy architecture enables faster product launches and better, more efficient ways of working.
Vinow has a simplified prepaid charging stack with uniformity of architecture, customer experience, life cycle management, product modelling and configuration, features and functions, and pre-integration of Ericsson Charging and Policy portfolio. The pandemic has enabled migration and consolidation of 300 million Vi subscribers to Ericsson Charging, making it one of the largest global reference cases.
This solution has also consolidated all other OCS to Ericsson Charging. Amarjeet Singh, Vice President, Sales, West India, Ericsson, said, “Ericsson Charging will help Vi reduce its OPEX, create new advanced product offerings and superior customer experience.” Ericsson Charging is a scalable, flexible BSS solution with a strong user-experience focus and future-proof product roadmap, enabling real-time convergent charging, policy control, and decoupling and fast service creation.
