Ooredoo Oman taps Ericsson to upgrade charging system

Ericsson and Ooredoo Oman have entered into a five-year partnership to migrate and consolidate the communication service provider’s (CSP) online charging system to the Ericsson Mediation and Ericsson Charging systems to provide Ooredoo Oman’s customers with a next-level digital experience.

Ooredoo Oman simplified its charging stack by leveraging Ericsson's flexible Business and Operations Support Systems portfolio which uses industry standards and protocols, to seamlessly integrate Ericsson Charging and Mediation within its multi-vendor Information Technology (IT) and network ecosystem.

The Ericsson Charging system is now the single convergent charging solution for all of Ooredoo Oman’s prepaid and postpaid consumer subscribers with plans to consolidate the rating of all lines of business utilizing the digital capabilities of Ericsson Charging and Ericsson Mediation.
