Cloud Scale Charging and Billing – A Cloud Native Business Support System (BSS)

Monetize anything at any scale with a converged charging system (CCS) integrated with billing and TM Forum Open APIs. Ensure accurate revenue accountability for any service, experience, and business model across 2G to 5G mobile or fixed networks at all stages of the revenue lifecycle.

Oracle scales up converged charging to serve 100 million subscribers.

Cloud scale charging and billing features and benefits

Techco CSPs are using Oracle Cloud Scale Charging and Billing to monetize and scale new services and business models. Learn more about the cloud native business support system's key capabilities.

Multigeneration offline and online charging system

Consolidate, protect, and grow revenue with a single offline and online charging system. Oracle's CCS is compatible with any fixed or 2G to 5G mobile network for any service, payment type, and business model and is aligned with 3GPP converged charging standards.

Flexible pricing and offer schemas

Move beyond connectivity with pricing models that incorporate any unit or attribute combined with new 5G pricing levers in any account structure. Enhance customer experience (CX) with advanced data session charging that uses flexible quota allocation.

Distributed in-memory charging grid

Powered by industry-leading in-memory data grid technology, charging is accurately processed with low latency and complete transactional consistency regardless of pricing or account model complexity.

Flexible billing models

Support new services and business models, including subscription billing, white label billing, and billing-on-behalf-of models. Oracle's solution provides flexible contract management to handle the complexities of revenue recognition.

Comprehensive billing operations

Ensure customer satisfaction with an accurate billing experience. Oracle's business support system includes comprehensive management of payments, collections, invoicing, account receivables, taxation, general ledger integration, and reporting.

Support complex hierarchical structures

This central, unified solution for B2C, B2B, and B2B2X models enables CSPs to easily launch offers, including flexible group account plans, billing-time discounting, adjustments, and recurring, usage, and purchase charges.

Single product catalog

Create centralized price plans for charging and billing components, and achieve faster time to market with lower costs.

Single solution provisioning

Alleviate duplicate data, complex provisioning, and the potential for issues across otherwise decoupled charging and billing systems. Open APIs don't require customization.

Single hierarchical structuring

Easily and rapidly create complex charging and billing structures. Eliminate the need to create identical structures across otherwise decoupled charging and billing systems.

Low-code platform aligned with ODA

Cloud Scale Charging and Billing delivers a productized platform aligned with Open Digital Architecture (ODA) that allows IT, network, and business units to work closely together. Low-code configuration and pricing tools for nontechnical business specialists enable rapid innovation.

Alignment with Open APIs

An Open API approach facilitates ease of integration with a modern digital experience and increasingly complex value chains while offsetting any risk of vendor lock-in.

TM Forum SID certified pricing design

TM Forum certified pricing design enables business users to rapidly configure new offers using intuitive, web-based navigation workflows. Productized capabilities further support rapid experimentation with new monetization services.

Cloud native

Deploy in a containerized and orchestrated environment to harness cloud infrastructure and DevOps CI/CD tooling. Accelerate innovation, operate more efficiently, and scale as business needs grow.

Harness industry-standard observability

Cloud Scale Charging and Billing enables simplified operations and a real-time operational view. The entire solution uses a Kafka notification framework, Prometheus for metrics collection, Grafana for systemwide data dashboards, and the Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana stack for logging.

Flexible deployment models

Comprehensive multiple-site deployment options are engineered to meet disaster recovery and business continuity needs. Deploy on private clouds behind a firewall or public cloud infrastructure.

Cloud scale charging performance

• Cloud native single and dual site charging test for 100 million subscribers

  To demonstrate the power of Oracle's in-memory charging grid with multisite deployment, traffic was distributed and charging updates federated across two data center cloud regions. Performance results measured more than 270,000 transactions per second across the two sites, with single-digit millisecond latency.
