Key to Profitability

An effective activation system is critical to an operator's profitability. The activation system is involved in providing every service to every subscriber - voice, data, content, information or messaging. The volume of activation transactions handled by operators is huge - and still growing. The activation system needs to support many new network technologies and increasingly complex activation processes as more data and content services are introduced.
