LHS, part of the Ericsson Group, and a provider of telecom billing and customer care systems across the wireless, wireline, and IP telecom markets worldwide, today announced the launch of its new BSCS iX Release 3 software at Mobile World Congress.
With BSCS iX Release 3, LHS provides a new version of its end-to-end charging, billing, and customer care system. Its open state-of-the-art architecture is highly business adaptive, enabling stepwise modular upgrades in line with changes to the business environment. This means that BSCS iX Release 3 can meet the end-to-end requirements of entry level communication service providers with high growth potential or can easily be integrated into the complex IT environment of mature businesses with highly demanding large scale subscriber bases.
New features and capabilities in the new release reflect the industry's trend towards next generation business models. This includes even greater flexibility and more comprehensive wholesale business and partner management as well as features supporting business models for new all-IP based services. At the same time, this is LHS' first release with advanced reporting and integrated business intelligence capability, for which they integrated SAP BusinessObjects software. With its latest release, LHS recognizes the strategic importance of billing data and the need to make it easily accessible for business performance analysis and strategic decision making.
"BSCS iX Release 3 allows customers to offer the innovative value added services, personalized multi-service packages and the high level of customer focus that are critically important as competition moves away from just price and alternative business models emerge. Moreover, it delivers the essence of convergence; enabling them to offer the simplicity, convenience and choice that subscribers increasingly demand," said Dr. Jens Trötscher, CTO of LHS.
"We consider the Mobile World Congress to be the ideal forum for the launch of the latest development of our strategic product roadmap. In line with the conference's theme of 'Think Forward', BSCS iX Release 3 is geared to empower communications providers to meet the increasing next generation service demands of their customers, coupled with even higher levels of efficiency and lower cost of ownership," he added.
