In the current market where it is paramount to get the highest margin from the traffic crossing your network, Least Cost Routing is a crucial activity to get right. All carriers will perform this task in some manner or other, but few will have dedicated systems that are specifically designed to make this process as efficient as possible.

The main problems are:

  • long lead times from definition of the LCR to deployment of the LCR
  • multiple different manufacturer switches in the network
  • difficulty of automating the process

In order to truly become a dynamic carrier who is able to react to fluctuations in price and quality in the market place fast enough to maximise revenue and reduce loss, a sophisticated Least Cost Routing system is required.

 

Montague Technology's LCR application is capable of defining and deploying an LCR in minutes rather than days. LCR can either automatically deploy to the switch network or alternatively produce MML (Man Machine Language) scripts which a data build team can manually deploy.

A full routing history is stored in the application, detailing exactly which users made which changes and when, enabling downstream analysis of routing activity.

LCR eradicates the complexities of routing on a large carrier grade switch (or series of switches) and allows your staff to concentrate on defining the routing requirements of the organization rather worrying about the difficulties of how to actually deploy those requirements.
