The Usage Processing System is a high volume transaction processing engine designed specifically for telecommunications usage data processing. Its primary purpose is to pre-process data in multiple formats and from multiple data sources into one common data format stored in a database. It performs the mediation, usage identification, call guiding (to the appropriate subscriber and/or company), branding, and error handling. Usage Processing is integrated with the FireSteel Toll Rating engine for standard domestic and international message rating. The system supports number pooling, number portability, and the identification of wireless and local traffic. Call guiding can be configured to be by trunk group, phone number, exchange, LRN, customer, and carrier depending on the type of service. The system supports switched and dedicated long distance and toll free services, as well as wireless transit and local transit services. User interfaces have been built for configuration table maintenance and to monitor, administer, and control usage data import and usage data export operations.

The main purpose of the usage data distribution component is to automatically distribute call detail, and usage summary information to the local exchange carriers for carrier access billing, end user billing, and capital credits MOU allocations. This same system is used to automatically schedule and generate reports, least cost analysis processes, and data extracts which can be used by downstream processes and any other use desired by the local exchange carriers or customers. The system is configurable to support a wide range of scheduling criteria, output formats, and variations of traffic types to be included in the output. Automated email notifications and data delivery options are also part of the system.
