customizations were requested by the operator and our customer’s
R&D team was overloaded and unable to cover all requests in due time.
COMPUTARIS CONTRIBUTION
Computaris team was asked to take over development and later on
maintenance and support for the customizations that were required by
the operator. Computaris was involved in this complex project from the
initial phases through to final acceptance and maintenance and support,
our involvement including:
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
The solution now gives to the
end customer, a US mobile
operator, advanced capabilities
for dynamic tariff management,
bill shock, fair usage, service
limited pass and prioritization,
enabling him to use the PCRF to
offer multiple services, enhanced
QoS levels and changing rules.
Additionally, it enables the
marketing department to be agile
and adaptive based on the
dynamic feedback obtained from
the customer base. They can now
test the effectiveness of the data
plans launched towards their 30
million subscribers, by having the
option to divide them in control
groups and target groups.
• Analysis of customer requirements together with our customer’s team
• Network Directory Server schema design and implementation
• System configuration, integration, migration, deployment, configuration, validation
and monitoring
• Onsite and offsite support for UAT testing in the mobile operator’s test environment

CASE STUDY - DEVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT
CUSTOMER PROFILE AND BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Our customer is one of the pioneering innovators in prepaid
technology. He successfully delivered customized mobile software
solutions covering prepaid charging, device management, collect call
services, USSD services, loyalty management, etc. Their existing device
management product reached the end of lifecycle after 5 years; The
solution was installed at 50+ operators worldwide and faced a couple
of challenges as the market evolved very fast and our customer
decided to invest in a completely new device management product.
CUSTOMER PROFILE AND BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The new version of the product was developed in a multi supplier setup with multiple major releases
within 2 years timeline. We allocated an expert team of engineers that reached 25 people in peaks
and delivered thousands of man days of development. The product was deployed gradually to
operators worldwide and Computaris provided support for system integration, UAT, post delivery
support and production third level 24h support.
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
The customer was able to launch the new
version of the device management
solution in less than 1 year after project
kick off. The solution is now able to handle
more subscribers (an increase of 50%) and
it is more flexible for integration with the
operators' systems; its features are more
intuitive and it is ready to be extended for
nowadays business cases (especially the
ones from smartphones dynamic sector).
Currently there are ~20 live installations
and others to follow, the biggest one
having 80 million subscribers.

COMPUTARIS TESTING SERVICES
TOP TESTING SUITE – MEDIATION SOLUTION UPGRADE
CUSTOMER PROFILE AND BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The customer is the Eastern European subsidiary of a leading tier one
mobile network operator (MNO) that operates GSM, UMTS and LTE-based
cellular networks in Europe, Canada and US. As part of a complex
migration project we were delivering, Digital Route’s MediationZone
system had to be upgraded to the latest version and to another server.
There were a few network elements (SGSN, GGSN, etc) that were sending
messages over Diameter to the mediation solution. During the migration
project Computaris had to check if all messages were being decoded and
processed in the same way on both versions of the mediation solution.
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
The migration process was significantly
faster and was successfully finished in due
time; Furthermore the operator is now
using the tool for additional testing
activities as he acknowledged TOP Testing
Suite’s capability to reduce the time to
market and the costs associated to testing
new products, product enhancements and
validation of deployment/system
integration services.
COMPUTARIS CONTRIBUTION
Computaris captured the traffic from all the systems and stored it as PCAP files. TOP Testing Suite Diameter Plugin
gave us the possibility to load diameter messages from PCAP files directly into JMeter testplans, minimizing our
testing efforts and assuring a safe migration. We commenced the process by analyzing those protocol dumps and
saving filtered messages in files dedicated for specific test cases; Creating messages in Computaris TOP Testing
Suite was just 5 clicks away and could be done extremely easy and fast.
TOP TESTING SUITE – REGRESSION TESTING
CUSTOMER PROFILE AND BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The customer is the American subsidiary of a leading Tier 1 mobile network operator (MNO) that operates GSM, UMTS and LTE-
based cellular networks in Europe, Canada and US. The customer had a series of regression tests that needed to be quickly and
efficiently executed, more specific:
• While performing regression tests in the provisioning system (which was using Web Services to provision data and partners)
there was a need to efficiently provision data in the system prior to test
• While performing regression tests in the PCRF system there was a need to rapidly trigger all the flows in order to tests the
PCRF system
• While performing regression tests in the data metering system there was a need to trigger all the flows in order to test the
data metering system
COMPUTARIS CONSTRIBUTION
For the first scenario (provisioning system regression tests) a JMeter LDAP Sampler was
used to provision database data; For the second scenario (PCRF regression tests) TOP
Testing Suite Diameter Sampler was used as an entry point into the system and the JMeter
Soap Sampler was used to trigger notifications from the provisioning system into PCRF
system in order to cover all the business flows; For the third scenario (data metering
regression tests) TOP Testing Suite Diameter Sampler was also used as the entry point and
the JMeter LDAP Sampler was used to verify that all data are provisioned correctly into the
system.
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
Computaris TOP Testing Suite
increased the effectiveness of
the operator’s testing
activities - every time the
systems are
upgraded/modified, the
existing flows are
automatically tested,
significantly reducing the time
allocated to testing activities.

COMPUTARIS MAINTENANCE & SUPPORT SERVICES
CASE STUDY - DIGITALROUTE MEDIATION SOLUTION UPGRADE AND SUPPORT
CUSTOMER PROFILE AND BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The customer is the Eastern European subsidiary of a leading tier one mobile network operator (MNO) that operates
GSM, UMTS and LTE-based cellular networks in Europe, Canada and US. In 2012, Computaris was chosen by the
operator for a complex migration project of Digital Route MediationZone® platform that was being upgraded from
version 5.0 to 5.1, including transition of both software and hardware components. On top of this, Computaris was
entrusted with the Support & Maintenance contract for the complete mediation platform. The platform was the key
system for serving the mobile customer base of approximately 15 million users. it was crucial to perform seamless
migration in a very short timeframe (4 month period) and to establish an effective Support & Maintenance process
and team in less than 3 months.
COMPUTARIS CONTRIBUTION
Computaris succeeded in fulfilling all objectives of this challenging
project. We managed to establish in a very short period highly skilled and
efficient project and support teams and the proposed migration strategy
proved to be 100% reliable and secure from the customer’s perspective,
despite technical complexity of the legacy architecture.
Furthermore, the Support & Maintenance services, governed by very strict
Service Level Agreement terms, have been in place since day one without
breaching contractual terms.
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
The technical goals of upgrading the
mediation platform were successfully met,
while the mobile operator’s business
continued absolutely unimpaired. The
operator appreciated the phase-based
approach for combining the advantages
of traditional systematic analysis,
effectively reducing project risks with
time and cost efficiency of the lightweight
project management methodology.
