Enabling Software (2)

Especially when it comes to completing mobile business transactions, enabling software is critical to ensure secure data transmission, rapid and accurate billing, payment verification and settlements, and other processes that support wireless communications and commerce while integrating with the company’s back-end systems. For example, providers of billing software enable carriers, ASPs (application service providers), and ISPs to charge their customers for voice and data services used. Other applications track wireless services usage, and allow for customer self-service via a carrier’s Web site. Yet other billing-related functionality ensures that revenue is shared between a carrier and a content provider according to agreements  reached by both parties.

Providers of security-focused enabling software are offering virtual private networks, authentication software for mobile employees, public key infrastructure security, digital certificates, and other applications that act as safety measures in the Wireless Value Web.
