Learn why communications service providers (CSPs) and internet content providers (ICPs) are using Oracle Cloud Scale Billing.
Flexible billing models
Support new services and business models, including subscription billing, white label billing, and billing-on-behalf-of models. Oracle’s solution provides flexible contract management to handle the complexities of revenue recognition.
Comprehensive billing operations
Ensure customer satisfaction with an accurate billing experience. Oracle’s BRM system includes comprehensive management of payments, collections, invoicing, account receivables, taxation, general ledger integration, and reporting.
Support complex hierarchical structures
This central, unified solution for B2C, B2B, and B2B2X models enables CSPs to easily launch offers, including flexible group account plans, billing-time discounting, adjustments, and recurring, usage, and purchase charges.
Partner revenue settlement
Monetize any revenue stream while ensuring accurate accountability at every stage of the revenue lifecycle. Oracle’s solution supports partner settlements for B2B2X and new partner-led business models.
Low-code platform aligned with ODA
Cloud Scale Billing delivers a productized platform aligned with Open Digital Architecture (ODA) that allows IT, network, and business units to work closely together. Low-code configuration and pricing tools for nontechnical business specialists enable rapid innovation.
Alignment with Open APIs
An Open API approach facilitates ease of integration with a modern digital experience and increasingly complex value chains, while offsetting any risk of vendor lock-in.
TM Forum SID certified pricing design
TM Forum certified pricing design enables business users to rapidly configure new offers using intuitive, web-based navigation workflows. Productized capabilities further support rapid experimentation with new monetization services.
Integrate with existing product catalogs
Simplify operations and preserve investment in an existing TMF 620 product catalog with an integration framework that can accept state change notifications and provide data model translation.
Cloud native
Deploy in a containerized and orchestrated environment to harness cloud infrastructure and DevOps CI/CD tooling. Accelerate innovation, operate more efficiently, and scale as business needs grow.
Harness industry-standard observability
Cloud scale billing enables simplified operations and a real-time operational view. The entire solution uses a Kafka notification framework, Prometheus for metrics collection, Grafana for systemwide data dashboards, and the Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana stack for logging.
Flexible deployment models
Comprehensive multiple-site deployment options are engineered to meet disaster recovery and business continuity needs. Deploy on private clouds behind a firewall or public cloud infrastructure.

Cloud native billing performance test for 10 million enterprise accounts
To demonstrate the high billing throughput and efficiency of Cloud Scale Billing, load and performance testing was carried out using Oracle Cloud for Telcos. Performance results measured a processing throughput of 2.29 million billing accounts per hour and 680,000 invoice accounts in eight minutes. The test proved that a CSP could complete a bill run equivalent in size to the world’s largest enterprise (2.4 million employees) in a four-hour time span.
