TORONTO — Optiva Inc., a provider of cloud-native revenue management software for communication service providers (CSPs), announced today the launch of the first 5G telecom charging solution to be transacted through Google Cloud Marketplace.
“Optiva Charging Engine is pre-integrated with Google Cloud, enabling CSPs to rapidly procure the software and subsequently connect to other parts of their architecture within ninety days,” reads an Optiva press release.
The partnership between Optiva and Google Cloud enables CSPs “to deploy Optiva Charging Engine in a multi-region Google Cloud configuration set up with a geo-redundant and high availability architecture. The collaboration and Optiva’s full SaaS (software-as-a-service) public cloud converged charging solution will also enable CSPs to fast-track the launch of new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) businesses,” the release says.
“CSPs will be able to rapidly add 4G and 5G wireless services to their portfolios, allowing them to better attract and retain customers,” according to the release, which notes one of the first CSPs to take advantage of this new deployment model is a leading Canadian telecommunications and media company, not named in the release.
“Optiva’s offering on Google Cloud allows operators to access new features with a centrally managed approach, allowing them to test new services in a fast/fail mode and focus on product differentiation, time to revenue for 5G use cases and customer experience,” the release says.
“Our partnership with Google Cloud is a catalyst for operators — affording them the transformational possibilities of cloud innovation and access to 5G ecosystem partners to accelerate their business success,” said John Giere, CEO of Optiva, in the release.
“To be the first 5G telecom charging solution transacted through Google Cloud Marketplace is thrilling and a testament to the creativity of our teams, cutting-edge technology and commitment to harnessing innovation for our customers,” Giere added.
“Cloud-native technologies are critically important to communication service providers’ business innovation and transformation strategies,” said Dai Vu, managing director of Marketplace and ISV GTM programs at Google Cloud.
“We’re pleased to have Optiva’s solution available on Google Cloud Marketplace and help telecommunication providers connect and implement the technologies needed to drive new innovations and enhance the customer experience.”
