International Routing Management

An end-to-end integrated solution that provides you with full international cost management and routing capabilities within a unified software module.

TEOCO’s international routing management offering is a convergence of the best practices deployed through our U.S. domestic solutions combined with the unique requirements of the more dynamic and even more competitive international marketplace.  By providing this solution as a unified software module, overhead is reduced and operation of the tool are simplified allowing for faster response times to the more dynamic nature of the international market place.  Additionally, our international routing management solution utilizes enriched call detail records (CDRs) to garner near-real time cost, quality, and traffic data to enhance routing decisions and to provide visibility into costs and performance.

We provide an interconnect cost management solution and a switch translation automation solution with capabilities well beyond simple least cost routing tools. By combining network cost, quality, and margin information with your business goals you can optimally route your international voice traffic.

• Create and provision optimal cost routing plans in your network
• Automate switch translation for wireline, wireless, cable, and VoIP networks and implement the translations directly into all switches in your network
• Build network wide routing that allows all customers in your network to utilize every vendor
• Support vendor removals at a dial code, destination, country, or network level
• Support quality management with a graphical drag-and-drop interface that allows you to view and act upon vendor performance
• Provide ad-hoc reporting to create visibility into all aspects of your international voice business
• Maximize margins by analyzing ASR, average call length, and costs

We go beyond traditional least cost routing by providing optimal cost routing models (OCRMs).  Our OCRMs consider cost, quality and margin filters to recommend routing sequences for each route class.  The OCRM handles route changes for the entire network and is switch agnostic.  The innovative functionality enables you to upload vendor rate and dial code amendments automatically and quickly direct them to switches in their native language, which saves time and money and improves overall network and margin performance.

A new approach to managing Dial Codes.  ‘Cherry-picking’ dial codes is a key driver of margin loss for carriers providing international service.  Rather than trying to maintain a master list of codes like many carriers do, our advanced least cost routing and margin management solution surveys the comprehensive set of dial codes provided across the entire portfolio of interconnect partner rate sheets and automatically breaks out and manages the dial codes at the most granular breakout level available.  Thus, if any of your interconnected partners offer a particular dial code breakout, the code is arbitraged at the lowest level to prevent you from being ‘cherry-picked’.

Additionally, sophisticated dial code management is provided along with superior routing algorithms and the scalability of billions of CDRs – far beyond the capabilities of existing Windows-based systems common in the international marketplace.  Its intuitive point-and-click user interface enables you to readily build unique and highly customized business rules to suit your business model.
