"Several years ago, we realized that a scalable, flexible
revenue engine was a key driver and enabler of new business models
for communications service providers," said Eric Pillevesse, senior
vice president, Telecommunications, SAP. "Through strategic
investment and co-innovation with customers, we have delivered a
market-leading order-to-cash solution. SAP offers a complete set of
solutions for CSPs and other industries, including customer usage
analytics as well as policy management and mediation through our
partnership with Digital Route, and leverages the power of the SAP
HANA platform for real-time processing of large data sets."
SAP® Billing and Revenue Innovation Management solutions provide
a complete yet modular end-to-end offering for the order-to-cash
process. They enable service providers to quickly create and launch
new offers, enjoy a 360-degree view of the customer, automate and
control the order capture and billing chain as well as revenue
settlement with partners.
According to Gartner, "Leaders are vendors that would normally
be included in shortlists for IRCM solutions for large and midsize
CSPs worldwide. They perform profitably, grow their revenue and
have a presence in all major markets. Their functionality is above
average, and their technology and scalability are leading edge.
Leaders also engage in innovative projects and activities,
carefully listening to their customer base. They are also engaged
in understanding the underlying and emerging patterns/trends in
revenue and customer management activities, and direct their
R&D resources and investments accordingly."
