The first challenge to achieving tariff transparency is to centrally manage your complete hierarchy of published and unpublished tariffs. Having one master source of tariff data assures a single reference for data integrity across the portfolio while maintaining a record of the relevant business cases including P&L forecast for each tariff group.

For most service providers this information is fragmented and disintegrated between information held by product/tariff management, finance, billing and BI data sources. Each stakeholder having a different view of the data according to their needs and responsibilities.

The StreamFlex world of tariff transparency is very different. All data relevant to each tariff and tariff subset is centrally held in one universal format. Controlled access offers each stakeholder a clear hierarchical view of all published and unpublished tariff data and the supporting documentation, together with visibility of all active authorisation and release processes.

Once authorised, new tariffs are automatically distributed on demand, together with the appropriate logic, to the billing system and other platforms where tariff data is required. Data integrity is maintained throughout tariff inception, modelling, authorisation and distribution. The source data remains the single true data set for all managed tariffs, confirmed through regular automated reconciliation.

StreamFlex Tariff Manager is the tariff mediation platform at the core of the Tariff Transparency Product and Lifecycle portfolio.
