| We
know that our customers’ needs will change along with
the rapidly evolving market for new telecom services. Accordingly,
we build in the adaptability needed to make these changes
trouble-free, efficient and cost-effective.
Our flagship technology platform is called ServicePDQ, a combination
of components that together form a powerful next-generation
OSS (NGOSS) and application suite.
ServicePDQ Framework
At the core of
the ServicePDQ solution is the Transaction Engine (TE).
The Transaction Engine provides a common point of interaction
for all ServicePDQ components, as well as other OSS/BSS
and 3rd Party applications. Built with Java technology,
the Transaction Engine simplifies business process management
and the integration and information-sharing among the various
ServicePDQ modules and other components. The TE accomplishes
this by exposing standard APIs, adaptation layers and protocols
for Application Intelligence, Business Intelligence, and
Network Intelligence. By connecting to the appropriate
part of the framework, every component gains access to
the resources and capabilities of all the other
components.

The ServicePDQ Transaction Engine unifies
the Business Management and Service Management aspects of
the telecom ecosystem. Functions that were traditionally separate
and separately managed can now share information seamlessly
thanks to open systems and a single point of control presented
by the ServicePDQ TE. Likewise, functions that are available
through existing OSS or BSS systems may be accessed using
the TE as a real-time conduit.
Real-Time Billing Engine - Customer Management and Convergent Billing
Central to our service deployment platform
is our Real-Time Billing Engine, a next-generation OSS and
charging solution that makes business intelligence available
in real time to other ServicePDQ components as well as third
party systems and applications.
The Real-Time Billing Engine provides unparalleled
flexibility for service providers to innovate, roll out, bill
and serve customers. The Real-Time Billing Engine supports
any type or combination of services, with any rating model,
from any information source or network. And, because it is
part of the ServicePDQ Framework, the Real-Time Billing Engine
integrates easily with existing OSS platforms using standard
industry methods. With the Real-Time Billing Engine, Solegy
delivers a new paradigm to the OSS, enabling marketing creativity
and helping service providers operate more efficiently to
reduce costs, increase productivity, and increase revenue
and customer loyalty. <more on

Presence and Mobility
Management Server (PAM)
Similar to a mobile home location register,
the ServicePDQ Presence and Mobility Management Server allows
a subscriber to be associated with multiple SIP terminals,
allows each SIP terminal to register its current IP address
with the system, and permits the subscriber to indicate availability
and preference among various terminals (using either telephone,
web or SMS). Like all other components in the ServicePDQ architecture,
location and registration information is made available to
other applications in real time.
Session Border
Controller
The ServicePDQ SBC provides intelligent network
services for VoIP endpoints by bridging session layer functions
associated with call control with the application layer functions
available through the ServiePDQ framework. As a result, the
advanced account management, routing and presence capabilities
made possible by next-gen applications are extended directly
to the call control signaling path. But more than call control,
the Session Border Controller offers advanced functions such
as protocol translation between SIP and H.323, NAT traversal,
IP address masking/RTP proxying and session border control
to facilitate VoIP deployments in the widest possible
variety of network environments .
Session Rules
User Agent (SRUA)
In SIP networks that already utilize a Session
Border Controller service providers can extend the ServicePDQ
framework functionality to VoIP endpoints using the ServicePDQ
Session Rules User Agent (SRUA). The SRUA is a back-to-back
user agent that proxies SIP signaling messages in order to
impose ServicePDQ-based business policies to a SIP session.
Among other things, it acts as an application launching platform
to connect SIP sessions from a Session Border Controller to
a specific application.
Media Server (MS)
The ServicePDQ Platform is an innovative
packet-based, software-only media processor that serves as
the a protocol-independent application execution platform
for ServicePDQ and 3rd party programs that are created using
either vXML or Parlay. Dramatically simplifying the development
and deployment of next-generation telephony services, the
MS provides a full set of media processing functionality,
including recording, playback, DTMF processing, and text to
speech. Because all MS functionality can be accessed using
standard web development tools, it makes telephony application
development as easy as web development, removing the barriers
imposed by proprietary hardware, such as computer telephony
boards.
Payment Gateway
Module (PGM)
The ServicePDQ Payment Gateway Module is
a flexible solution for real-time assisted and self service
payment transaction processing. It allows end-users to initiate
a payment for any service using the interface of his choice
(web, IVR or SMS) by abstracting the users input from the
interaction with the appropriate financial or partner network.
The payment may then be applied to one or more of: the user's
local account, his account in a financial institution, the
service provider's account, or a third party merchant (such
as a content provider) using XML webservices.
