Operational Support System (OSS)
Provisioning and Service Delivery Platform
For successful provisioning of a customer service, multiple entities - switches,
circuits, routers, gateways,out sourced services, people, processes, tools, policies,
security, and the billing system - have to work in harmony with each other with
automated flow of information. A disconnect between any of these elements results
in delays, high costs and reduced customer satisfaction.
Cadebill provides a Business Process Management (BPM) workflow solution to connect
people and systems to provide a sequential automated/controlled flow such that a
customer order is provisioned in a fastest manner with full security and accountability.
Cadebill Provisioning fully automates the provisioning wherever open APIs are available
with the provisioning platforms. Billing information is automatically updated after
provisioning completion, thus providing complete integrity between provisioning
and billing.
Cadebill provides a general purpose provisioning solution and a variety of platform
specific plugins to link the billing system and networks. A programmable platform
provides a custom development interface to rapidly integrate with any new platform.
With automated and flow through provisioning, end users can do self provisioning
of the features at the on demand.

process flow. The fast activation and service fulfillment cut your costs, speed
service delivery and increase customer satisfaction.
Scheduler
Cadebill Scheduler is a back office job scheduler and job executor. A variety of
recurring and automated programmatic actions are continuously executed round the
clock with no supervision.
Task Management
A telecom operation has several back office processes and tasks. Different teams
and systems have to work together in a collaborative manner to accomplish these
series of tasks. This may be customer trouble tickets, manual provisioning, working
with external vendors and partners. Cadebill eTask module provides a process oriented
workflow to manage every task to a full completion. eTask is a comprehensive software
platform to create and manage tasks, workflow processes, forms and fields, and for
integration with other systems.

and hardware items such as IP addresses, phone numbers, routers, gateways, circuits,
etc.
The integrated solution with Cadebill Scheduler, eTask, Inventory and Provisioning
and Service Fulfillment together provides a comprehensive OSS solution to any operation.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Marketing, Sales and Support are the core activities for CRM. General purpose CRM
solutions have no understanding of telecom business and do not have the interaction
with the telecom billing system’s catalog of products, rates, contracts, setup fees,
etc. It is essential to have an integrated telecom specific
CRM solution so all speak the same language and terminologies without data duplication
and inconsistencies.
Cadebill CRM provides an integrated solution with the billing system that uses data
from the billing system such as, contact information, product catalog, rates, contracts,
historical revenue, profit, SLA and any other available information. A built-in
workflow process designer allows your company specific process flow to be implemented
for marketing and sales processes.
Cadebill CRM is an integrated flow through solution from generating a prospect to
complete setup of a customer, including network provisioning and the billing system
in an automated manner.
Sales force incentive compensation is tied to customer billing and payments. The
sales force is automatically compensated based on billed revenue or collected revenue
either on a one time basis or on a recurring basis, on your company specific incentive
plan. Cadebill provides full financial accounting of sales force compensation.
Supporting the existing customers on the technical and business related issues is
an ongoing need.
Cadebill ticketing module provides the ability to create a ticket and track it through
completion with a workflow process as designed for each type of ticket. Every ticket
is tracked through the completion with all information and communications stored
for each ticket.

Security of an enterprise system such as billing and provisioning and to protect
customer privacy is vital.
