Many
companies want to offer new, value-added services, but are
stalled by inflexible business systems that don’t allow
for rapid deployment of new plans or the introduction of
innovative pricing models. Claridyne solves these
challenges by offering the ability to price services
according to various usage metrics, such as traffic volume,
QoS, content type, and a multitude of other parameters. New
complex offerings can be rapidly brought to market and
priced on a combination of flat, transactional and
usage-based fees, thereby maximizing revenue generation. Claridyne's
Rating engine, delivers powerful and convergent, real-time
rating, which handles today's multi-layered, complex usage
and content scenarios, giving providers the tools to achieve
real revenue assurance. Some of the features include:
 Extensive
service and pricing definition – Service bundles, pricing
and discounts can be easily configured and modified in
real-time to quickly respond to new market dynamics.
Fast
time to market - when changes within the system are
required, for example new services, they can be implemented
quickly and easily.
Revenue
Assurance - fast and robust rollback and re-rating of
usage and event records, giving providers greater
flexibility and more control over their business processes.
Flexible
Convergence - Claridyne's service-neutral rating engine can
process a high volume of usage records, handling
simultaneous, multiple input streams. Providers are
therefore able to offer, and bill for
a variety of services from only one
implementation of the rating system.
Charges
and discounts can be made at the Invoice, Account, Service
or Session level. There is also an option for a one-time
charge.Effective dates are used to determine when the charge
is effective. Effective dates may beset for each charge
defined.The amount of the charge can be a set amount, a
percentage, or an amount dependent on any parameter
available in the system such as a Business Object.
Charge
Type specifies what kind of charge it is. Our system
supports the following types:
Invoice level: This is applied at the invoice total.
Account level: This is applied to at the account total.
Service level: This defines a charge or discount for a
particular service.
Session level: This defines a charge or discount for
individual sessions of a particular service.

when the account is activated for the first time. The type
is not available for discounts.
