Thanks to our ability to handle the extreme complexity of network costing, LRIC (Long Run Incremental Costs), and other Telecom-specific challenges, CostPerform has become the current market leader in Telecom cost management. Today, more than 20 Telecom companies use CostPerform for regulatory and business economic purposes.
The complexity of Telecom cost management is caused by a combination of specific characteristics. Among those are: Extreme capital intensive networks, Different competitive market situations (Incumbents versus new entrants, Wholesale clients are retail competitors, etc), Products (MB, minutes, texts, etc) that are packaged in almost unlimited combinations and last but not least, regulatory pressure around pricing for network usage.
