Switched
Access Tariff Databases Vero has developed the only Switched Access Tariff - Variable Composite databases in the market. It became apparent that a source for accurate tariff rates and a consistent rate methodology was absent from the Telecommunications tariff market. Tariff information is needed by the carrier to properly audit Switched Access invoices during vendor billing reconciliation, to generate accurate accruals, and for network planning and routing optimization purposes. Beyond those purposes, a Composite Rate view of tariff costs is necessary to compare a carrier's costs of delivering traffic on-net versus off-net. In fact, a composite view of tariff rates is the only way to make the 'Build vs. Buy' decision regarding on-net versus off-net traffic delivery and whether it makes economic sense to deploy a trunk into the network, etc. Vero developed SWAT - VC (Switched Access Terminating - Variable Composite) and SWAO - VC (Switched Access Originating - Variable Composite) databases to address these market needs. Before Vero's Variable Composite databases, such critical tariff information was available only from fragmented sources that typically suffered from obsolescence and inaccuracies. The SWAT-VC and SWAO - VC databases resolve this issue by providing accurate and up-to-date tariff rate information. The result is that the client has access to real cost information that reflects their true operating environment. Currently, SWAT-VC and SWAO - VC calculate composite rates for Access Tandem and Direct End Office Trunk connections for over 38,000 switched access routes derived from over 2,600 tariffs which consist of over 53,000 individual variable rate elements. This data is broken down into Terminating and Originating rates by Jurisdiction (InterState vs. IntraState), and is available as a direct import into the Acuitè tool suite. An optional Graphical User Interface is available to facilitate viewing these composite rates and researching the underlying variable rate elements that make up the composite rate. Vero offers the terminating and originating databases as well as the Graphical User Interface separately. Vero's variable rate element cost repository is industry leading and provides an accurate centralized data base of detailed variable rate elements and variable composite costs for Access Tandems and DEOT routes. Clients only need to deal with a single vendor, Vero Systems, to receive the largest coverage of variable rate element cost. This data will drive a deeper understanding of network switched access costs which will result in improved management of product margins. |
