A company operating a BSS/OSS service bureau for wireless service providers found its existing billing/OSS product suite outdated from both a functional capability and an architecture perspective. Its current solution could not address the emerging wireless data services or 3G billing. The company needed to make a "build or buy" decision between an internal development effort and an external acquisition of a new wireless BSS/OSS product.
XD3 performed an analysis of the available high-level options. We quickly determined that a "buy" was necessary to meet time-to-market and functionality requirements for their embedded customers as well as available prospects. Once an asset acquisition target was determined, XD3 performed a complete business, functional and technical due diligence on the target product. We prepared a complete business case for the acquisition and for the migration of the Company's existing customers to the new product.
The Company successfully completed the asset acquisition and moved forward with a project to migrate their business to better support the evolution of the wireless industry into content and 3G billing.
