Services
The client is a leading telecommunication and information services company in Australia providing broadband, voice, and wireless services to consumers and businesses. Its objective was to develop a new financial reporting and billing system with enhanced accuracy and integrity.
The client used a Mercury application and required a new billing system to bill multiple products from the customer and integrate new products such as virtual private network (VPN), hosting, international toll free, interconnect, and conference link into the billing system.
The existing Mercury application components were a mix of core and non-core Arbor components. The application performed core functions namely, billing, payment processing, journals, collections, late billing, and exchange rate configuration. We, at Mphasis, devised a customized solution for the company as follows:
• Deployed mix-and-match of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) based (Kenan billing) out-of-the-box (OOB) and bespoke functionalities
• Delivered complex integration with upstream, downstream and peer apps like payments, journals, and collections
• Managed post production incidents
• Implemented business-specific reporting functionalities
• Generated accurate invoices to the customers
• Processed and consolidated financial details
• Integrated with external applications
• Provided support and maintenance of the application
• Provided 24X7 support to the customer to resolve issues
This solution allowed our client to experience the following benefits:
• Increased integrity in customer bills and financial reporting
• Enhanced accuracy in financial reporting and reduced turnaround time
• Triggered early warning alerts of issues during billing, thereby detecting billing errors at the earliest
• Completed end-to-end identification, analysis, and integration with other applications
• Delivered real-time information and re-conciliation of data with the help of multiple reports
