CSG International has acquired key assets of Volubill, a provider of integrated real-time policy and charging solutions to mobile, satellite, and fixed broadband operators.
The acquisition enhances CSG’s current billing and revenue management portfolio, the company said. It will also help CSG to expand its charging and policy reach and expertise while providing a path to innovative new capabilities and services.
Volubill products are used by service providers across the world to bring to market and monetize the new generation of digital, communication-based services.
“CSG’s global strength, credibility, and coverage will enable Volubill products to reach a much wider market than was possible for Volubill alone,” said John Aalbers, CEO of Volubill. “We are very pleased to become part of the CSG family.”
The acquisition will help Volubill clients gain the expertise of CSG in telecom billing and revenue management.
“Our clients are always looking for the most effective ways to maximize the value from the data and traffic that travel across their networks, and Volubill was an early innovator in that space,” said David Heaps, senior vice president of Business Strategy at CSG.
Service providers around the world are looking for more profitable revenue streams by monetizing network data and providing an improved customer experience. As a result, charging and policy become central components of integrated global service delivery.
CSG strives to meet this growing need by augmenting its capabilities across the monetization process with, policy, charging, and service optimization, Whitelock said.
