Convergent billing systems have been a long time coming, but the potent combination of cost reduction and the ability to generate new revenue streams will drive increasing adoption of these systems in the next five years.

Our coverage of revenue management systems includes the billing, mediation, business optimisation, and partner and interconnect sub-segments. All of these systems are critical to running operations at communications service providers (CSPs). Over the forecast period, convergent systems will start to have an impact on the market, helping CSPs to reduce costs and create innovative service offerings.

This Report provides:
  • a five-year forecast of spending in the revenue management market, split into:
  • six sub-segments: prepaid billing, postpaid billing, convergent billing, mediation, partner and interconnect billing, and business optimisation
  • four service sectors: mobile, PSTN, business services and residential broadband
  • four geographical regions: Asia–Pacific; Central and Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and North America.
  • an examination of the key market drivers and inhibitors for the revenue management market during the next five years
  • an analysis of the dynamics that are influencing the market in each of the four regions
  • recommendations for CSPs adopting revenue management systems, as well as vendors
  • further insight into the core drivers behind the forecast, such as worldwide telecoms revenue and subscriber numbers.
Please note: this is delivered as a PowerPoint presentation.
