BUSINESS RULES PLATFORM (BRP) - Automated Accounting System

IKANO's Business Rules Platform (BRP) technology, exclusively developed by IKANO's technical personnel, automates nearly every aspect of service provisioning, end-user registration, credit verification, policy management, account billing, money transfer, accounting processes and technical support.

The BRP architecture lets you function as a full Application Service Provider (ASP) through IKANO's network and systems. Clients can now create their own "business rules" that control the way their online business strategy operates.

In addition to the standard features of the system, many other features can be programmed into the platform thanks to its open architecture and design. IKANO's BRP accounting solutions allow clients to set up their own pricing strategies, which may vary among different groups of end-users.

A key feature of the platform is the ability to automatically provision services. Standard services include: online subscriptions setup, online updates of existing accounts, all aspects of Web site hosting, customer billing, bank deposits, end-user communication and technical support management. The flexibility of the BRP also allows it to be modified to provision most IP-based services.

The BRP offers significant advantages over competing technologies because it is fully automated, scalable, and provides a turnkey means of provisioning resources and services.

With IKANO's BRP, clients are able to customize, configure, brand, and offer products and services to their end-users. When a subscriber enrolls for any service, using the automated online subscription, the BRP invokes intelligent agents that automatically provision the requisite Internet application servers. These include: mail servers (including e-mail accounts), network authentication servers, Web servers, necessary storage space, billing and customer management resources, and accounts. End-users can automatically register themselves, update account information, and select services and packages online without contacting customer service. Many of the products and services may be downloaded directly over IKANO's network. Throughout the entire process, your brand equity is strengthened by a client-branded interface.

Billing protocols and procedures are based on the client's business rules and end-user codes (entered by the subscriber). These codes correspond to the end-user's business rules and vary, depending upon the service purchased and the type of subscriber).

Clients may create and structure special offerings for different groups. Because the BRP is automated and scalable, a client may create a virtually unlimited number of business rules and billing plans and configurations as needs and requirements demand.

IKANO's automated billing solution allows VISPs, branded internet services providers and ISPs to quickly and easily manage their billing, provisioning, and customer information. Contact IKANO today to learn more about our VISP Billing solutions!
