Captura is a comprehensive software platform for managing all aspects of telecoms interconnect and wholesale operations for voice, messaging and data services.
Our best selling solution since 2004, Captura has gained over 150 operators worldwide, while we continue to enhance the platform. Our latest version is Captura NG, fully Linux and cloud based and in place for several years now.
The platform efficiently supports all business aspects including the technical integration with the operator's network. As such, the following sections of telecoms interconnet business are covered with the highest level of automation possible:
Captura allows operators to manage their own destination-code scheme and all cost-base price sheets imported will be mapped against this scheme to get the best cost routing possible. The import of cost-base price sheets is heavily supported and handled by an import robot/bot picking up price sheets from e-mails, automatically reading the available data of these e-mail attachments.
With Captura it is possible to manage any type of routing of any scale from simple least cost routing to highly automated intelligent dynamic routings considering commercial, quality, and volume aspects.
Switch configuration can be either direct via a switch export interface generating and implementing switch configuration interfaces or via a SIP redirect server (part of the provided solution) managing routing dynamically in conjunction with Captura and the switches being part of the network
Captura considers all commercial aspects, imported costs, routing, destination codes, bilaterals, and dynamic changes of these parameters in the creation and distribution of offers.
Captura comprises of a comprehensive bilateral module. It allows the creation and management of any type of bilateral agreement and consists of a bilateral simulation that predicts the agreement impact volume dependent. With bilateral reporting comes a secondary rating engine that evaluates bilateral values permanently based on volumes done, allowing real-time reporting of bilateral figures.
Captura comes with a full interconnect billing and reconciliation module that generates and distributes interconnect invoices as automated as possible. On the reconciliation side, the system verifies that the invoices received match the expected values.
Captura comes with full mediation, rating, and correlation (if required) of call data, providing full visibility about what happens with regard to commercials, qualities, and volumes near real time, allowing teams to react immediately if something fails or does not run as it should.
Running interconnect voice requires Captura NG Voice and a Switch, while running interconnect SMS requires Captura NG SMS and an SMSC.
Both Captura NG systems run on Linux and use the PostgreSQL database. The user interfaces are 100% web based. The size and scale of the Linux servers depend on the traffic volume and commercial setup. The systems can run on premises or hosted in a cloud environment.
