Convergent billing for 20M subscribers

Moving a national operator's billing to a new platform, with no break in service.

RoleTechnical Engineer, then Solutions Architect
Result20M+ subscribers migrated

What I did

  • Migrated the billing of more than 20 million subscribers from an Ericsson platform to Huawei’s convergent billing.
  • Integrated it with the core network and business systems (HLR, SMSC, GGSN, mediation, CRM, USSD), and led the integration and acceptance tests.
  • Designed provisioning and the product catalogue, and new offers with the operator’s marketing teams, from small individual plans to fleet offers. Those offers brought the operator about $26M a month in revenue.
  • Ran maintenance, support and disaster recovery with the team, and trained the client’s engineers to run the platform themselves.
