SigmaSoftware’s MVNO Convergent Billing in-a-Box solution is a comprehensive end-to-end solution designed for MVNOs looking for a quick and easy launch. It is designed to provide a single unified solution to meet all of the functionalities that an MVNO would need to run a successful business.
MVNO challenges
- MVNOs compete in an over-saturated market as such an MVNO must carefully choose and exploit a profitable niche with a viable, flexible and scalable business model.
- To be successful, an MVNO must bring real value by designing appropriate offers and service bundles to their customers. Aggressive time to market is critical.
- An MVNO must control and reduce costs, especially operating costs to be profitable.
- MVNOs need the ability to evaluate, select suitable partners and manage a broad range of relationships and alliances.
In some countries, MVNOs are strictly regulated. In those regulated environments, large telecom operators generally encourage resellers to re-brand the services and reach their own loyal customers or serve operators to reach the “last-mile”. The resellers typically rely on the operator to provide billing and customer-care services. SigmaSoftware’s MVNO in-a-Box Convergent Billing solution works for both with operators and resellers and provides an easy and rapid setup of an end-to-end solution to manage their customer onboarding/management, billing / rating / charging, payment and self-care.
