Offers represent a package of products
& services
Offers contain price plans for individual
services (VoIP, broadband, cable TV,
GSM...)
Marketable products (tariffs/bundles)
are created on existing CRM system
and mapped to CC objects by
parametrizing offers

Separate Catalogue for
MVNO owned by 3-rd party
Catalogue consists of Offers
GSM Voice
IPKO GSM offers contain price plans
for several services:
GSM Telephony
SMS
MMS
Data
Value-added Services
Price plan for voice contains rating logic for several ways how the
voice service is used or customized, i.e.:
MO/MT voice call price plans
Self care logic (activating/deactivating) tariff plan options in realtime via SMS/USSD
Logic for granting bonuses
Logic for counter reset

21
Mobile Originated (MO) Voice price plan
1st call/welcome logic
A side location – Roaming or HPLMN?
B number normalization
Is B among Friends&Family numbers?
Are A and B in the same community?
B number zoning determination
Rating context (price/free usage, rounding,
profiles, bonuses ...)
Charge the correct price
based on time period...
If free counters apply, call is free

22
GSM Voice pricing/rating logic
Most of the pricing/rating logic is kept in translation tables through
which new products (tariff plans) are defined
Example – price per minute table:
Call Center Price
Regular On-net price
Weekday
Off-Peak

Lessons Learned

Some DO’s and DON’T’s
 Split a huge project in Phases
or Work Packages
 Accept unrealistic schedule
forced “from above”
 Document SMART goals in
project scope, review them in
change management process
 Accept split responsibility for
solution components
 Neglect risks
 Get support from key
stakeholders and commitment
from all team members
 Underestimate the
organizational impact of a
transformation project
 Empower project team
members to make decisions
 Make “Lessons Learned”
workshops after each phase
 Party a lot
(night shifts are great
opportunity for that)
