Advanced Least Cost Routing and Margin Management Solutions
AcuWorld is a convergence of the best practices deployed via
Vero’s domestic Acuité offerings with the unique
requirements of
the more dynamic and even more competitive International
marketplace. AcuWorld
is an
end-to-end integrated solution that provides carriers with full
international cost management and routing capabilities within a unified
software module. This design reduces the
overhead and
simplifies the operation of the tool allowing for faster response times
to the more dynamic nature of the International market place.
Like the Vero’s other Acuité products, AcuWorld utilizes the
information rich AcuCDR repository to garner near-real time cost,
quality, and traffic data to enhance routing decisions and to provide
visibility into costs and performance. AcuWorld goes beyond traditional
Least Cost Routing by providing Optimal Cost Routing.
The Optimal Cost Routing Model (OCRM) generated by AcuWorld considers
cost, quality and margin filters to recommend routing sequences for
each route class. The OCRM handles route changes for the
entire
network and is switch agnostic. The innovative functionality
of
AcuWorld enables the carrier to upload vendor rate and dial code
amendments automatically and quickly direct to switches in their native
language, which saves time and money and improves overall network and
margin performance.
A
key differentiator for AcuWorld is an innovative new approach to
managing Dial Codes.
‘Cherry-picking’ dial codes is a key driver of
margin loss
for carriers providing international service. Rather than
trying
to maintain a master list of codes like many carriers do, AcuWorld
surveys the comprehensive set of Dial Codes provided across the entire
portfolio of Interconnect Partner Rate Sheets and automatically breaks
out and manages the Dial Codes at the most granular breakout level
available. Thus, if any of the carrier’s
interconnected
partners offer a particular Dial Code breakout, the code is arbitraged
at the lowest level to prevent the AcuWorld user from being
‘cherry-picked’.
AcuWorld provides sophisticated Dial Code Management, superior routing
algorithms and the scalability of billions of Call Detail Records
– far beyond the capabilities of existing Windows-based
systems
common in the International marketplace. Its intuitive
point-and-click user interface enables customers to readily build
unique and highly customized business rules to suit their business
model. |
