Thriving to increase the efficiency of their clients and incorporate the latest standards of the industry, OPEN launches Release 22 of Smartflex version 7.08. This new release improves on the existing features as well as incorporating new ones.

In this new version, OPEN introduces a Self-Service Portal that allows the service provider to address users’ requests 24/7. With this feature the user can access their billing, payment, and usage information, as well as submit complaints and claims.

Companies that belong to the telecommunications industry will benefit greatly from the redesigned commercial offering functionality. This feature allows companies to quickly design new products and services, accelerating the time-to-market.

Additional functionalities provide utility companies with more information and influence on their costumer’s consumption patterns. This results in a substantial improvement on the efficiency, reliability, and network security of the service. By adopting the advantages of new technologies, companies can develop key factors that generate value for their customers.

One of the most useful new features is the Control Panel, which shows the real-time status of the most critical system processes, generating statistics and giving the user the ability to execute appropriate procedures. It also clearly identifies license expiration dates, and configuring and receiving quick notifications that allow you to make more accurate timely decisions.

In addition to the above mentioned improvements, by incorporating the data archiving feature, companies can place outdated information in cold storage, saving storage space, time, and money by reducing the costs of acquiring new resources. This feature also provides the ability to keep your data safe, and access to your data when needed.
