Due to global opening of the communication market, the interconnect relations between carriers is getting more and more complex. Moreover, services and bearer techniques are decoupling (e.g. VoIP) and launch of new services is speeding up. This dynamism leads to an enormous enhancement to the demands of the intercarrier process support systems. These technical issues are accompanied by the commercial reality that prices decrease, while volumes increase. These facts push carriers to plan and implement new intercarrier process support systems.

Facing this challenge, Ascom provides by an InterCarrier Processing System (InCaPS) a fully convergent solution.
InCaPS is an integrated system containing off-the-shelf modules which fit perfectly to the customer demands along with tailor-made modules and interfaces to surrounding systems. With InCaPS Ascom is able to solve every carrier’s intercarrier demands.
InCaPS consists of several components and modules which fulfil specific tasks. A bespoke system can be composed by selecting components and modules which are really needed. The design of the system allows easy and quick enhancement to specific demands which can suddenly arise. This assures that a tailored InCaPS suits perfectly to the enterprise with minimum investment.

InCaPS supports all business cases with automated workflows and a convenient user interface that requires smaller staff teams to operate the business.
A flexible contract/product editor allows on the fly configuration. This results in an easy and quick time to market process.
With the possibility to support many technical and virtual services the future is guaranteed.
