  15. Application brief functionality

  16. 1. Revenue Assurance Product : Connectiva Model : Onereview Why to choose Connectiva Revenue Assurance Application ? • ONEREViEW offers the most comprehensive data acquisition capability through its Adapter Framework to enable data acquisition from multiple, disparate sources. • ONEREViEW also includes the first integrated, modular ETL function optimized for telecom-specific operations and distributed processing support. • ONEREViEW adapters enable single data sourcing for multiple simultaneous targets, including third party solutions. This will allow BSNL to share all the relevant data that ONEREViEW is polling and collecting with other systems and applications seamlessly. • ONEREViEW’s primary strength is its ease of use especially when there is a change in requirements and new functionality needs to be added to the system without having to resort to backdoor techniques.

  17. 2. Fraud Management System Product : Neural Technologies Model : Minotaur Why to choose Neural Fraud Management System ? • Minotaur™ Behavioural Models are designed with a sensitive-early architecture that allows them to generate alerts no matter how soon fraud occurs after the creation of a new account. • Minotaur™ Behavioural Models offer an adapt-to-feedback facility, which can be used by the fraud team to provide feedback to a Behavioural Model that generates alerts for events that, upon investigation, are found not to be fraudulent • Minotaur™ behavioural models continuously adapt their profiles to reflect the gradual changes in behaviour that characterise normal calling • The advanced Fraud Detection Engine lowers the false positive rate (i.e. tickets that correspond to actual fraud) and also provided detailed information and reasons to an analyst or investigator as to why calling activity has been flagged as fraudulent.

  18. 4. Convergent Billing & Mediation Functional Overview – Kenan BP • data exchange with external systems • customer usage accumulation and rating • correction and reprocessing of errored usage • variable tax rates based on charge type, jurisdiction, account, and location • customer invoice preparation • payments processing from lockbox, credit cards, and electronic funds transfer • invoice formatting and dispatching • financial feeds for general ledger • journalizing of revenue information

  19. 3. Bill Formatter, Enterprise Reporting and Electronic Stapling. Product : Group1 Why to choose Group1? • The software enables data connectivity with different system/s to better access multiple data sources and immediately transform the data into useful information for Bill Formatting, Electronic Stapling and Enterprise Reporting. • Enable batch and interactive production delivery to streamline production for high volume or on-demand output. • Enable document archiving and housekeeping to secure BSNL data and documents for retention and retrieval, in an integrated environment . • The Software has front-end modules for document and /or bill creation and resources administration, customer care interface for document navigation, output and delivery management and application administration & monitoring. • The Software generates/retrieves documents from third-party applications to provide fast and efficient service with instant retrieval of exact replica of documents reducing call handling time and call backs, improving customer satisfaction.

  20. 5. Directory Assistance: BTSLogic Advantages of BTSLogic DA • The BTS-DA search engine can be used by various access points, thus ensuring that only one logical database is required to be maintained. • BTS-Open/Unified Access Layer provides for several points of access to reach information resources connected to the Unified Access Layer. This allows the agent to access not only the BTS-DA Search Engine but also to access a non-BTSLogic DA-database or to access information sources in the Internet. • Real time updates: Updates to the BTS-DA search engine are done in real-time, making updates available to agents immediately. • N+1 fault resilience: The BTSLogic solution is designed for N+1 fault resilience. The single logical database can be distributed in several copies.. • Sub-second response time: Even most complex search queries are performed in a fraction of a second. This is done to ensure avoid unnecessary delays in processing of a customer’s request.

  21. 6. Service Provisioning: Clarity Advantages of Clarity • Clarity offers an automatically generated logical schematic of the network showing (level 1) sites and connectivity between sites, (level 2) equipment and connectivity within site, level 3 equipment configuration (e.g. bay, rack, shelf, slot, card and port) • Most other solutions offer minimal inventory and configuration capability relying instead on the capability provided by network elements. Clarity offers a fully featured, independent inventory and configuration master managing geographical, physical and logical inventory and configuration. • The Clarity product provides a full inventory of equipment in the network and details the interconnections of those items and circuits, and then associates each item with real-time status information so that an accurate current view of the network is maintained in real-time. Clarity auto-discovers the configuration and status of the enterprise network and then auto-diagrams the information in a correlated and analysed form.

  22. 7. IOBAS – Intec InterconnecT v7 Advantages of InterconnecT Accurate Accounting of interconnection charges • InterconnecT v7.1 covers the interconnect business process starting with a collected EDR and ending with a final, reconciled interconnect charge. InterconnecT v7.1 can handle any number of national and international agreements. It is multi-currency, Euro compliant and supports direct as well as cascade settlement methods. • Increase revenues using volume discounts: InterconnecT v7.1 provides the operator with a very flexible way of offering volume discounts. Discounts can be tiered or fixed and applied on time, data or money. • Keep traffic volumes within agreement limits using volume penalties: In order to ensure that the operator’s own network is not saturated by interconnect traffic volume penalties can be used. A volume penalty is a reverse discount which is applied if the interconnect partner enters more traffic than was stated in the service level agreement. • Reconciliation Dispute data Plug-in: InterconnecT v7.1 provides an accurate rating engine that provides full audit capabilities to substantiate declarations which facilitates dispute resolution. • The basic aim of an interconnect solution is to: • Produce an invoice for the calls delivered for another operator • Validate the invoices received from other operators for the calls delivered

  23. 8.Customer Relationship Management: ORACLE/Siebel • Customer relationship management (CRM) is a broad term that covers concepts used by companies to manage their relationships with customers, including the capture, storage and analysis of customer information. • There are three aspects of CRM which can each be implemented in isolation from each other: • Operational CRM- automation or support of customer processes that include a company’s sales or service representative. This helps in maintaining customer database and history of contacts. This improves customer interaction and turn around time is reduced. • Collaborative CRM- direct communication with customers that does not include a company’s sales or service representative (“self service”). Advantages s here include cost reduction, service improvements, etc. • Analytical CRM- analysis of customer data for a broad range of purposes like marketing campaigns, managing customer churn, financial forecast etc.

  24. The Siebel solution will allow BSNL to • Differentiate from competition through improved customer satisfaction and deeper understanding of profiles, decision criteria, and behavior • Turn focused insight about customers and products into strategies and action. This includes ability to come to market with innovative offers for targeted segments across multiple sales and communications channels • Enhance user effectiveness by consolidating all customer information across systems, streamline & standardizing processes, and providing a unified desktop to address all service & sales processes for prepaid and postpaid customers • Improve sales effectiveness by automating up-sell and cross-sell recommendations • Reduce order fallout through flexible service validation & streamlined order processing of bundled services • Increase customer loyalty through improved service resolution across all touchpoints • Lower IT cost and complexity through flexible, scalable, and proven architecture & pre-built, industry-specific functionality

  25. 9. Enterprise Application Integration: ORACLE • Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the process of linking applications in order to realize financial and operational competitive advantages. • When different systems can’t share their data effectively, they create information bottlenecks that require human intervention in the form of decision making or data entry. • With a properly deployed EAI architecture, organizations are able to focus most of their efforts on their value-creating core competencies instead of focusing on workflow management. Purposes of EAI • Data (information) integration: ensuring that information in multiple systems is kept consistent. This is also known as EII (Enterprise Information Integration). • Process integration: linking business processes across applications. • Vendor independence: extracting business policies or rules from applications and implementing them in the EAI system, so that even if one of the business applications is replaced with a different vendor's application, the business rules do not have to be re-implemented. • Common facade: An EAI system could front-end a cluster of applications, providing a single consistent access interface to these applications and shielding users from having to learn to interact with different applications.
