Rating Features
Selcomm provides a sophisticated rating engine for the construction and mapping of service detail records into a common usage format for subsequent processing. Further, with its high-speed processing engine, multiple program threads take advantage of multiple server processors to cater for massive volumes of data that can be generated by the network.
Based on the source mediation layer of the service, the integrity of service usage detail records can vary significantly. However, the demands for billing, end-user informational flow, and validation, these detail records often require enhancement for industry and legal requirements. Selcomm carries out all these important functions.
SelcomĀ maintains the raw source data received by the Rating Module for audit and subsequent reporting activities. Once rated, the detail records are flagged for subsequent Tariff, Discount, Billing and Report processing.
