Operators face a variety of challenges in their Policy Control Charging (PPC) & Mediation environments related to:
- General: Cases of poor QoE, subscriber demand for new technologies/services, increased costs, need for higher ARPA and competitive differentiation, lack of spectrum for cellular communications.
- Architecture: Increased complexity of installations and multi-vendor environments, “blind scalability” due to lack of estimates, legacy developments & interfaces, existing solutions may be rigid and frequently updates not possible without service impact.
- Data & Information: Multiple data sources and destination nodes, large amount of data to be handled, low visibility of performance & BSS information.
- Configuration & Features: Policies & schemes not intuitive enough, rigidity in business logics, need for separate configurations, etc.
