Comarch BSS Suite
Comarch’s Strengths in BSS
Full Suite of Organically Developed Products
Products within the Comarch BSS Suite have been designed and developed
in-house, meaning you can count on shorter delivery times, as well as
better quality and more secure deployment, when compared to products
from big vendors that arose as a result of mergers and acquisitions.
Unified Data Model and Central Product Management
All BSS products are based on a unified data model for reference data
and product catalog. This provides you with a short time to market, while
facilitating system management and configuration.
Large Amounts of Data, Exceptionally Efficient Processing
Engine
Mass and real-time, rule-based data processing are at the core of our
competences. This includes service agnostic and multi-industry rating,
charging and billing.
Customizable Business Process Flows
There are no limits to workflows and business processes, as they are
configured in the development or implementation process. You are able to
reconfigure business processes and workflows to suit your particular
needs.
