Real-time margin assurance and intelligent network solutions provider pulse has had two of its customer installations profiled by Dittberner Associates.
The profiles are included in the research firm’s assessment of the “real-time interconnect server,” a new class of solution for on-demand, cost-adaptive traffic routing. Dittberner categorizes “least cost routing” as a cost-management activity, putting it in the same family of functions as interconnect-bill verification and content-management assurance. Least cost routing is a rather unique cost-management function, because its job is to assure revenues ahead of time, rather than to determine what went wrong in the billing process. In this sense, least cost routing is a kind of “pre-cost management” activity.
“pulse is pioneering the real-time interconnect server category,” said Dan Baker, research director at Dittberner. “We interviewed two pulse customers who have successfully installed pulse’s Intelligent Routing Platform to surmount their switch translation problems and transform their least cost routing solutions into major money-savers.”
pulse’s Intelligent Routing Platform offers a central command and control architecture for routing and allows for deep routing granularities as well as significant savings from optimized routing, the company said.
