VNE (Virtual Network Enabler)

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are increasingly looking to alternative business models to address the decline in traditional voice revenues, offset decreasing margins, and take advantage of the new opportunities presented by convergent services. Just as individual Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) strive to overcome the financial and technical complexities of launching a new brand in the communications market, CSPs need a VNE model that controls cost, supports scalability for volume, allows flexibility of market offerings, and promotes repeatability – the ‘cookie cutter’ approach.

The Intelligent BSS model from MDS offers a standalone platform for VNEs and VNOs that offers rapid time-to-market and operational cost-efficiency, while ensuring low cost start up that mitigates commercial risk. The platform facilitates seamless service delivery and assurance for convergent offerings such as Unified Communications across the order-cash-care value chain, including provisioning, rating, analytics, billing, CRM, and online services.
