ARIS
ARIS delivers automated rating and routing instructions that have a direct impact on the bottom line by reducing operational costs and improving billing accuracy, network utilization and customer satisfaction.
The telecommuncations industry is increasingly complex and dynamic. Network
personnel spend a considerable amount of time performing menial, but necessary
work to analyze and implement rating and routing changes associated with
NPA/NXX activity, NPA splits and overlays, tandem rehomes and truck group
rearrangements. These tedious and time consuming steps must be performed on a
switch-by-switch basis resulting in long implementation times and frequent
errors. These errors often result in inaccurate billing, premature expenditures
due to poor network utilization and customer dissatisfaction.
A Proven Solution
ARIS is a web-based application designed to automate key functions required for proper rating and routing. The system provides network personnel immediate access to all network rating and routing updates and provides the ability to query existing or pending rate and route data. ARIS is specifically designed for positive reporting and provides a current, pending, and historical view of data within its database.
