Description
The project deals with Telecom, in which the data is received for Usages from various Exchange Switches and it is passed through many internal subsystems and finally we get the printable format of the bill. This bill is sent to the customer for billing purpose. The overall system also produces many reports which are transferred to many other Carriers (Competitors).
Usage Billing 1 Consists of 3 separate systems. South West Legacy(SWL) deals with usages coming from AT&T and other carriers using the services of ATT. The usages from these CLEC/ILEC are then sent over after processing to their respective Carriers. The reports are sent to downstream for further processing of graphical data.
