Mobile bill processing strains set to triple as 3G gains widespread adoption,
ORSYP warns
April 26, 2003
Surging data processing demands caused by the complexities and volume
of billing for 3G and GPRS mobile services will increase three-fold as
they become mainstream across Europe. That is the warning from ORSYP,
an in IT operations management that works with several European telcos.
New charging models, including service-based billing, and exponential
growth in data alongside voice services will create a substantial increase
in the volume of billing data for operators offering 3G and GPRS services,
says ORSYP. Moreover, the difficulty of batch data processing will be
further increased by the need to consolidate billing data from increasingly
heterogeneous IT environments, geographically dispersed sources and multiple
business partners, while communicating charging information to customers
in real-time in response to event-driven needs such as pay-per-view.
The ability to capture rate and bill for multiple services such as voice,
data, subscription based gaming, streamed audio and video content and
Web based services will be critical to operators' survival if they are
to profit from the trillions already invested on 3G networks and licences
globally.
The European subscriber base for GPRS and 3G services will grow from
3.7 million in 2002 to 35.8 million in 2004, according to industry analyst
eMarketer.
"Accurate and timely billing is crucial for next-generation mobile services,
but it will place an enormous data processing strain on operators' IT
systems," said Christopher Unrug, UK Operations Manager for ORSYP. "From
our experience in deploying advanced job scheduling solutions for major
clients, we believe that the 3G billing data processing problem will increase
three-fold as these new services gain market penetration. Operators need
to address this problem now or face a torrid time with their billing."
