C S G R O U T IN G O P T IM I Z AT I O NBOOSTING PROFITABILIT Y AND CONTROL WITH END-TO‐END INTERCONNECT TR ADING AND ROUTING
In the wholesale market, margins are under more pressure than they’ve ever been. Analysts predict that interconnect and settlement revenues will grow far slower than content billing or M2M/IoT revenue over the next several years. To avoid margin loss, operators need a solution that can optimize and automate their interconnect business, efficiency that will be critical to support services like IoT.
Protect margins and increase profits with the CSG Routing Optimization solution, the market-leading least cost routing solution. CSG Routing Optimization combines optimized routing, dynamically selecting preferred routes based on an array of customer-configurable algorithms; automated provisioning of routing logic against all of the world’s leading switch types, and a “routing desk,” providing hands-on control, visibility and insight to the intercarrier side of the business.
IMPROVING MARGIN MANAGEMENT
Routes vary in cost and quality, and they can change in a second. Manual importing of prices and terms leaves you no time to act on the most advantageous routes.
CSG Routing Optimization provides operational control of traffic trading and routing, along with
automated network provisioning of commercial routing orders, from a single integrated system. The solution automates the import of rates, area codes and quality indicators, drastically reducing manual effort.
The system automatically transforms routing decisions into command files provisioned against the network. This reduces the number of error-prone tasks typically associated with route changes, and improves your ability to take advantage of profitable routing opportunities as soon as they become available. Advanced provisioning features include Destination, Customer Unique Routings, and Composite Products.

PROFITABLY COMPE TITIVE
Buying is one of the most complicated and time-consuming processes in the international wholesale business. Ever-changing supplier rates and the varieties of dial code definitions in the telecoms environment demand close attention and precise control.
With CSG Routing Optimization, you’re not only able to control costs—you can increase profitability. The CSG Routing Optimization solution automatically processes and validates the price lists, rates, area codes and quality indicators offered by other carriers. By automating pricing, you can quickly communicate the best prices, and connect with more wholesale customers. Focus more on business strategy and designing the best products that customers will want to use.
The solution recognizes and stores each supplier’s numbering plan and automatically maps the destinations, enabling it to rank suppliers and instantly identify breakout opportunities. CSG Routing Optimization’s configurable algorithms let you define different routing strategies based on margins, rates, quality, capacity, volume commitments, traffic patterns and agreement fulfillment strategy. Variable time-of-day routings are supported, and CSG Routing Optimization solution gives you constant access to the latest quality and capacity data.
INTELLIGENT TR ADING
CSG Routing Optimization solution makes tariff-setting quick and easy, automatically calculating multiple cost definitions based on actual or future routing structures and price lists with customer-specific layouts, and supporting on-the-fly rate negotiations.
A set of reports with drill-down functionality for traffic, revenue, cost, and margins is available. CSG Routing Optimization reports on actual cost savings, loss and profitability, giving you a complete view of business performance in real time.
Carriers can define their specific product portfolio and business models, and create preferred options, while CSG Routing Optimization automatically identifies the most profitable breakout opportunities and purchase options. Personalized business alerts enable immediate action.
TAILORED TO YOUR BUSINESS
CSG Routing Optimization can be a standalone or integrated solution, easily integrating with your existing systems. Connector Standard APIs make it easy to upgrade to the latest version of the solution.
A reporting suite also provides end users from various parts of the business with a consistent view of data. Standard business performance reports include revenue, product performance, profitability, minute margin, termination cost, traffic, quality, network utilization and more.
CSG Routing Optimization solution comes pre-integrated with CSG Wholesale, the market-leading wholesale business management solution. Pre-integration provides a single point of entry for common data like refile rates, and lowers the total cost of ownership since the solutions already connect.
