The billing bureau provides billing services for communication service providers in Australia. It is using FTS' solutions to provide charging, billing and customer care services.

By employing FTS express in the cloud, the billing bureau can offer carrier-grade solutions to its target audience of smaller communications service providers, which includes ISP, MVNO and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) providers. The functionality and the flexibility of the FTS system were key factors in the growing billing bureau service selecting FTS. As FTS' solutions are now available on virtual infrastructure, the customer has as well been able to reduce its hardware requirements.
