* Improving the customer experience by offering flexible, easy-to-access tools that support real-time account, credit and usage monitoring and management
* Exploring next-generation delivery models that enable providers to benefit from the value of managed services, global reach and scale, and proven IT support and maintenance

CSG will be onsite to review the current retail and wholesale telecommunications ecosystem.

They will present ways to optimise international traffic routing to reduce revenue drain from carrier bypass fraud, decrease operational costs, and increase quality of service. The company will also demonstrate how cloud-based managed services can enable carriers to meet the dual mandate of reducing costs while increasing innovation and bringing new products and services to market more quickly than the competition.
