CostGuard
The telecom market has changed dramatically over the past decade with mobile devices, over-the-top communication services such as video streaming, the Internet of Things (IoT) and a moderation in demand for traditional voice services, all acting as major industry disruptors. As IoT and 5G become even more prevalent, the complexities of telecom billing and operations will continue to increase. To stay competitive and grow with the market, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) will need to replace legacy billing systems with convergent billing systems that offer greater flexibility and cost-saving efficiencies. With an easy-to-use convergent billing system like CostGuard, you can increase business efficiency by using a single platform for billing, rating, invoicing and collection across all types of customers, markets or service lines. You can also launch brand new products, services and pricing models faster than your competition.

PortaAIM is a billing and monetization platform for AI services that connects usage tracking, pricing, cost monitoring, access control, and billing in one system.

PortaAIM supports usage-based, token-based, subscription, prepaid credit, tiered, freemium, reseller, and outcome-based pricing models, which can be configured without code changes. It tracks vendor cost and customer revenue at the transaction level, providing real-time visibility into usage and profitability by customer, product, or account. PortaAIM is built by PortaOne, applying its telecom real-time billing experience to AI usage-based monetization.
