It seems with Openet’s Evolved Charging Suite residing in the AWS cloud and being managed by Rackspace. Openet is one of the BSS vendors most invested in concepts like digital transformation and ‘cloud native’ so this win would appear to be a vindication of that approach. The cloud-native charging system from Openet gives us so much flexibility in how we develop, rate and monetize services.
Working with Lebara and Openet to help both companies leverage the value of the cloud and microservices based architecture so that Lebara can bring new products to market faster, introduce new business models, and deliver excellent customer experience while reducing its IT operating costs. What this obsession with the cloud is all about – speed and flexibility. MVNOs tend to focus on the pay-as-you-go market, which is more volatile and experiences higher churn. Since the basic underlying costs are similar for all of them, some of the best opportunities for differentiation would appear to be through tariff and charging innovation of the kind this software is designed to enable.
