An upcoming Webinar will examine several of the shifting factors that are making IP
migration increasing compelling for prepaid service providers.
“Time to Ditch the Switch? For Prepaid Service Providers, the Economics of IP Migration Are Increasingly Compelling,” will be held Wed., June 25, at 11 a.m.
With large IP carriers now providing comprehensive, economical PSTN
interconnection and service inter-working, and service delivery platforms supporting cost-effective, margin-friendly IP service delivery, prepaid service providers are increasingly asking if now is the time to migrate.
This informative one-hour session will examine shifting factors such as: The Basics of Prepaid Service Delivery Platforms: a look at the costs and components that enable IP service migration.
Also being discussed is: New IP-Enabled Business Model Control: how IP-based controls and innovations give service providers unprecedented control over margins and services to: easily, quickly self-customize services and rates by inserting new service logic, without waiting for and paying for vendor upgrades; expand service products while collapsing costs with IP-based capabilities, such as sharing access numbers across multiple service products and diverse rate plans; and maximize rates with new control to vary rates based on service provider defined factors.
Other topics are: The Wholesaler Migration to IP and its Negative Effects on TDM-Based Prepaid Providers; Upward Expansion: a look at how and why TDM-based service providers first migrated to IP, and then expanded into wholesale; and a look at the relative investments, risks and rewards of IP migration, cap-and-grow strategies, and TDM
stasis.
After the presentation, the Webinar will be open for a live question-and-answer session with Kenneth Osowski, vice president of marketing and product management at Pactolus Communications Software Corp; Brian Partridge, director of the Yankee Group; and Erik Linask (News - Alert), group managing editor of the Technology Marketing Corporation.
