As pressure increases to create more innovative product variants in response to growing competition, and tariff migration and rationalisation moves up the agenda of the major network operators, the task of tariff inception increases in complexity. Achieving price differentiation while maintaining ARPU and margins has become a lengthy and costly process. Financial modelling and risk assessment requires significant internal resource when critical processes rely mainy on spreadsheet analysis.

The deployment of StreamFlex Tariff Modeller gives independent control to product and tariff management to model any tariff package, however complex, with 100% accuracy. Any number of customers and usage records can be modelled, from a single customer to random sample to entire customer segments comprising millions of customers. Resulting data can quickly be cross-examined to the desired level of detail, enabling competitive assessment together with operational margins including interconnect activity.

Competitor tariffs can also be modelled to finely tune new market propositions and legacy tariffs can rapidly be refined to deliver clear migration strategies while maintaining legacy ARPU values. Given appropriate access to customer usage data, one manager together with Tariff Modeller can undertake complex bulk processes with assured accuracy independent of the departmental resources and lengthy timescales normally attributed to this critical process.

Tariff Modeller is a key component of the StreamFlex Product Lifecycle product suite.
