Key Features
InterconnecT CABS CG is feature rich to allow us
to offer you a world-class
solution, whatever your business situation. Some of the features and capabilities that make up
InterconnecT CABS CG include:
RAPID IMPLEMENTATION
As soon as you provide us with your data, we can have your CABS system operational
within sixty to ninety days. Features that expedite implementations include:
- Ability to import your network information
- Ready-made tariff and contract structures
- Ability to copy tested templates to create any
number of additional accounts
COMPLIANCE WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS
InterconnecT CABS CG follows standards set by the OBF, including BOS and SECAB specifications, to ensure
accuracy and standard presentation of bills to carriers. Intec’s active participation on
the OBF ensures that the system continues to meet the standards agreed by the organization.
ELECTRONIC DATA TRANSFERS
Bills can be sent electronically to customers, eliminating the cost and risks associated with
sending paper. Access Usage Records (AURs), usage or meet point billing data can be
provided to the system with input from tape, diskette, CD-ROM or from data files
via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
LOCATE YOUR REVENUE
InterconnecT CABS CG processes files and records that are essential to finding the revenue you deserve:
- Category 11 call detail records in Exchange Message Interface (EMI)
format
- Category 92 records for billing LECS and CLECS for
reciprocal compensation
HISTORICAL DATA MANAGEMENT
Information used in developing CABS bills is retained in the InterconnecT CABS CG
database for as long as you need it.
EXTRACTING USAGE DETAILS
An optional Bill Usage Verification Support module enables you to extract usage records for which a customer
is being billed in case of an audit or dispute.
FORMATTING SWITCH DATA
An optional InterconnecT PREP module, based on Intec’s powerful mediation engine, is
available for converting the data from your switch into the standard EMI format used by
InterconnecT CABS CG.
REPORTING AND ANALYTICAL TOOLS
One of the key advantages of our client/server design is quick and easy
access to business data. In fact, all the information available on the CABS bill is immediately
accessible in your system database. Sophisticated drilldown query tools allow you to
extract the information necessary to investigate shortages, analyze trends and anticipate shortfalls. An
enormous amount of information is available instantly in more than fifty pre-formatted reports.
GENERAL LEDGER TRACKING
General ledger codes provide links to your accounting system. Tracking of revenues
can be performed by tariff element or access type, depending on your company’s
needs. The tracking can be detailed or summarized as you prefer, and you also have
instant availability of all detailed supporting information. In addition, Accounts Receivable features
are built into InterconnecT CABS CG. You won’t need a separate system to view the
bills you have issued.
ACCURATE RATE SELECTION
InterconnecT CABS CG allows only appropriate rate elements to display for billing, so user
errors are far less likely to occur. When the rate elements are built into the system, the
elements are categorized so filters can be used to access the appropriate data by type of service.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
InterconnecT CABS CG’s intuitive and easy-to-learn graphical user interface
enables you to choose rather than key data, increasing user productivity and eliminating
errors. Simply click on an entry in a pull-down menu of valid choices.
LESS REPETITIVE MAINTENANCE
InterconnecT CABS CG performs the majority of the repetitive maintenance work that can consume valuable
hours. Relieved of these basic chores, you’ll have more time for analyzing the information
that InterconnecT CABS CG makes available and for using it to improve your business.
USABILITY
As you set up your accounts for billing, there are three features that will
save you many hours of data entry:
- Required data is entered only once. Later, as you
perform necessary procedures, you select the data from drop-down lists.
- Tariff structures are preloaded. Just specify the
rates your company uses.
- A copy feature allows you to quickly create a new wire
center, account or other entry by copying an existing one and making the required changes to
create a new entry.
