CSG and Axiata
Digital Labs Announce Co-Collaboration to Deliver Enterprise Digital
Marketplace
Single platform marketplace introduces new
monetisation opportunities and optimises new service delivery for CSPs
CSG announced it is working with Axiata Digital Labs (ADL), to create a joint innovation initiative for an open API digital marketplace that will enable rapid time to market for enterprise offerings. The co-collaboration integrates CSG’s industry-leading charging and digital monetisation capabilities with ADL’s Digital Telco Enabler (DTE) open API digital layer technology to deliver a single open API, multi-tenant, cloud platform.
“Enterprise opportunities
have evolved for service providers and are creating new opportunities for our
customers to capitalise on revenue streams that require open, modular,
cloud-based architectures for rapid bundling and touchless partner settlement,”
said Ian Watterson, head of CSG’s Asia-Pacific business. “This co-innovation
between Axiata Digital Labs and CSG combines our collective expertise in cloud,
open API, modular architecture and microservices technologies to accelerate the
launch of digital monetisation use cases.”
Working with Axiata, CSG is extending DTE to its billing and
charging communications service provider (CSP) customers, positioning them for
accelerated growth and increased abilities to offer new products and services.
Concurrently, ADL is extending digital monetisation capabilities to its
customers through CSG’s award-winning Ascendon platform, enhancing ADL’s digital capabilities across its
consumer and enterprise operations.
“Axiata
Digital Labs is transforming the way our customers drive revenue and create
superior customer experiences through the investment and development of new and
emerging 5G technologies, products and services,” said Namal Jayathilake, VP of
Emerging Technologies of Axiata Digital Labs. “By partnering with CSG, we are
aligning our efforts with one of the global leaders in the wireless sector and
creating a breakthrough solution that will help customers from both
organizations identify new growth opportunities, operate more efficiently, and
create truly unique customer experiences,” he further added.
Together, CSG’s Ascendon charging and digital monetisation
capabilities combined with Axiata’s DTE technology optimise new service
delivery for CSPs by integrating a digital marketplace into their existing
network. The solution offers infinite flexible bundling with rapid time to market,
giving CSPs the ability to quickly launch new digital offers and services for
their enterprise and consumer customers.
The joint
solution adheres to TM
Forum Open API standards and offers a single platform that seamlessly integrates into CSG
and ADL customers’ existing ecosystems, eliminating the need for a full network
transformation. The platform also provides the flexibility and scalability to
support multiple CSP business models, while simplifying operational
complexities and reducing cost.
Leading
companies rely on CSG’s broad portfolio of digital monetisation solutions to
efficiently shorten their time to market and reduce operational costs while
delivering innovative services and optimising customer experiences.
