MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 4, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Allot Communications (Nasdaq:ALLT), a leader in IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI), has launched its new Subscriber Management Platform (SMP) as part of its solutions portfolio.
With increased competition, service providers are looking to identify new revenue streams as quickly as possible. Allot SMP helps providers identify how and what services hold the most appeal for subscribers, and how these value-add services can be easily delivered and billed. By rolling out the right services at the right time, providers can more easily differentiate themselves, based on the amount, quality and value of new services.
"To maintain a leadership position, we need to offer the services that our subscribers demand," said Dr. Viriya Upatising, CTO, True Internet, Thailand. "The Subscriber Management Platform gives us in-depth insight into broadband subscriber behaviors and usage trends so that we can determine what services our subscribers value the most."
Gaining Per-Subscriber Visibility
Using Allot's unsurpassed DPI capability, the SMP monitors subscriber behavior to identify, track and report short- or long-term usage trends. Behavior can be tracked on an individual basis or for groups of subscribers. By analyzing these trends, providers quickly know which services are the most popular and with whom. This allows the provider to quickly roll out new or packaged services based on individual subscriber demand and preferred delivery.
Enforcing Per-Subscriber SLAs
The SMP also supports per-subscriber enforcement, enabling providers to rapidly create and deploy tiered service plans that allow different subscribers to have different quality parameters on a per-service basis. This flexible and customized delivery is designed to give each subscriber the exact services and quality of experience that they require.
"Service providers can no longer treat their customers as one large group. Today's subscribers have individual needs and want customized services based on how they use Internet applications," said Rami Hadar, president and CEO, Allot Communications. "With Allot solutions, the concept of provisioning and enforcing differentiated services is within reach. It not only drives customer satisfaction, but allows the provider to deliver multiple levels of services at multiple price points."
"Having insight into subscriber behavior also reduces the risk of rolling out new or bundled services, because the behavior drives the decision. This can lead to a higher and faster return on investment," Hadar added.
An upcoming version of SMP will also offer quota enforcement capability and self-provisioning portal interface. The ability to enforce per-subscriber quotas helps providers enrich their portfolio with usage-based service plans. In addition, by integrating SMP with their existing service portals, providers can give subscribers the ability to individualize their own service package.
