Description:   The Scottish based operation of an international company has developed an open, modular, highly extensible Next Generation Service Delivery platform, built on Service Oriented Architecture principles and designed to enable rapid creation of new network based mobile applications, packaged as services, throughout their lifecycle.

The ability for operators and service providers to meet customer demands can be limited by today’s rigid network and IT infrastructures, which are often very complex and made up of proprietary network-based switching equipment. This Microsoft based platform overcomes such limitations, providing open and secure access to mobile network functionality and autonomous software processes. It has an application layer which is independent of the underlying infrastructure

The platform supports Signaling System 7 (SS7) (C7) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) (IP) call control for, amongst others, OSA(Open Service Access)/Parlay interfaces and the latest generation of application servers. It can host applications for heterogeneous environments comprising fixed, mobile, cable, ATM and IP networks. It is truly open and flexible allowing third-party applications to connect to it by means of open APIs.

The platform is feature rich with key functionality including:
-Common Telecom Layer –allowing connection to various operators at same time, enabling service providers to offer unique services independent of underlying infrastructure
- Real time revenue enhancers – eg Automatic least cost routing, quality based routing, margin based routing. real time cost/revenue/profit analysis, bandwidth management.
- Multimodal technology support – supporting fixed, wireless, internet, VoIP and ATM communications. The Service Gateway supports a heterogeneous network environment.
- Value added services – enables value added services to be integrated into single environment; prepaid, postpaid, find-me follow-me, advanced number translation services, number portability, IP centre, voice mail, click2dial, - -- Fixed/ Mobile Convergence (FMC) etc.
- Self-care – account management for customers at all level of telecoms value chain.
- Provisioning – user friendly administration interface
- Rating- Billing –Invoice - Automation of rating, billing, invoicing process, including import/export of data to relevant systems eg Electronic Bill
- Presentation and Payment systems. Itemised bills in a variety of languages/currencies.
- Number Translation Services
- Fixed/Mobile Convergence – one personal number for voice and fax

Innovative Aspects:
The platform provides open and secure access to mobile network functionality and autonomous software processes. It overcomes the limitations posed by current IT and network infrastructures which are often complex and made up of proprietary network-based switching equipment.

It provides full management of all telecom services from rating and billing to value added services such as number portability.
Enables endless opportunities for products and services which combine network capabilities of presence, mobility, location and telephony.
Enables service providers to minimise time to market for new products and services.
