this is so untrue. all this "fast or short Time ti market" is nonsense. all of pcrf vendors dont tell you that you need to create rules on DPI or other PCEF. this takes time and you doesnt short TTM.
ReplyDeleteCreating policies is not a challenge, getting the information required to select the right policy is. For example, it takes a minute to create a policy that depends on location, but properly integrating the PCRF with a location system could easily take months. Remember that integration is just not only about technology, it is also about making different vendors and departments work together... In the majority of cases integration is on the critical path when operators want to introduce new subscriptions, not writing the policies.
ReplyDeleteComverse is not only a PCRF vendor. Comverse’s solution includes enforcement elements like DPI Traffic Manager and Application-Gateway that are already integrated with the PCRF in a manner which implements many of the business use cases out-of-the-box. This really allows launching new segmented plans and modifying existing ones in a quick and agile manner.
ReplyDeleteThe DMM Policy Studio that Comverse just introduced brings this framework to the operator’s marketers, so the marketer does not need to deal with entities like Radius Attributes or Gy Rating Groups, and can define segmented plans using a language he is comfortable with.
I understand, but this only works when the operator buys your complete portfolio... How likely is that?
ReplyDeleteTrying to sell "fully integrated" solutions does not solve the problem, it only introduces vendor lock-in which is not in the operator's interest.
