XACCT's software interfaces with multiple network and service elements and collects comprehensive usage data; dynamically correlates the data based on the company's business and service policies; and transforms the data into actionable business information that is fed to existing OSS/BSS applications, including billing, CRM, operational reporting, and customer reporting. http://www.xacct.com
