Carrier Call GmbH
Your business partner for telecommunications and more...

Telecom operators are facing unprecedented competition from innovative VoIP providers, internet service providers and rich content and media providers as data ARPU accelerates to exceed voice. This trend, and the pressure to innovate and add value while continuing to drive down both capital and operational expenditure, means there is a growing demand for strategic managed service suppliers, such as Carrier Call, to offer increasing levels of support and maintenance right up to fully managed services.

Through Carrier Call's established Managed Services model, Carrier Call is able to offer additional expertise and benefits in economies of scale achieved through managing the Carrier Call platform (XCarrier) for Carrier Call customers globally. The Managed Services support model provides operators with significant operational savings through risk mitigation and overhead cost reductions. The Managed Services arrangement builds upon best-in-class software solutions and establishes a single overall operations contract under which Carrier Call will provide, operate, support and maintain the solution; reporting on the solution's performance and reliability against an agreed set of service levels.
