Billing & Revenue Management
Last week the ETIS Billing Group held a meeting in Bern, Switzerland which was kindly hosted by Swisscom on 19/20 April. The meeting was attended by 21 people from companies like Swisscom, OTE, Deutsche Telekom, Turk Telekom, Turkcell, Vimpelcom, Matrixx Software, Comarch, Orga, NSN, Ericsson and Billing Views.
The goal of the meeting was to discuss how current billing challenges, opportunities, strategies and business drivers influencing the billing environment. Some of the topics covered during the meeting were: Billing Transformation Strategies, Smart Charging, Bill Presentment Strategies, Policy Management, Real-time billing & analytics, BSS Consolidation and Cloud Billing Services.
The group conducted a billing tools and applications survey among its members which will run until the next meeting in October. The group also decided to rename the group to ‘Billing & Revenue Management Working Group’ as the scope of interest and discussions goes well beyond pure billing.
The next meeting will be hosted during the next ETIS Community Gathering in Athens on 18/19 October 2012. For more information on how to join this group please contact Fred Werner at fw@etis.org
