XO Communications Achieves Operational Excellence with CSG Convergent Billing
Case study showing how XO Communications replaced a legacy outsourced billing system with CSG Convergent Billing to improve order flow-through, reduce rejects, and cut time-to-market for new telecom services.
XO Communications, a national provider of voice and data services, integrated CSG Convergent Billing with order entry and provisioning systems to replace a costly, customized legacy platform. The project delivered a tenfold improvement in order flow-through, reduced reject rates by 60 percent, and enabled the company to bring billing operations in-house. These changes supported a 75 percent reduction in change implementation time and allowed four major product releases annually while maintaining staffing levels after a major acquisition.
