As a result, service providers worldwide are able to provide lower-cost services, a richer user experience, and greater satisfaction to millions of customers.

Consolidate systems with proven network convergence

Openet envisioned FusionWorks as a converged network solution from the start. We developed it with a close eye on industry trends so it could readily support network environments of any size or complexity. Its singular ability to support all services on all networks—from just one platform—allows service providers to build complete network convergence, no matter what network infrastructure is already in place. Which ultimately means your company can extract more value from its networks. Plus, there are no costly software upgrade and service contracts to commit to.

Improve services management with flexible configuration support

FusionWorks can help your company better manage the complexity of rules-based network interaction. With the industry’s most flexible configuration of business rules and logic, it can easily be configured according to your company’s needs. It enables tailored customer interactions, flexible pricing and loyalty schemes, and simplified manipulation and enrichment of network activity. All this is controlled via an easy-to-use interface that provides a nearly infinite set of customer interactions supported on a wide variety of network elements and support systems.

The backbone of Openet solutions

As a modular network-edge software platform, FusionWorks enables rapid development and deployment of a range of solutions designed to process network activity and transactions. Based on a common Framework, FusionWorks allows service providers to implement or consolidate to a single infrastructure. From this central location, they can deploy convergent solutions that address multiple business challenges—including pre- and post-paid service billing, revenue leakage detection, and compliance with lawfully mandated data retention regulations.
