WHOISD Functionalities Overview
RULE-BASED SERVICE DELIVERY AND CHARGING
In order to enable effective marketing mechanisms for content and services, WHOISD combines all basic delivery and charging procedures (like "Send SMS", "Request URL", "Apply Charging" etc.) to Rules – the advanced session algorithms which may include granting discounts, sending advertising messages, checking handset capabilities, verifying parental permissions and others.
- Flexible pricing matrix enables changing content tariffs across multiple networks and services on the fly. This feature allows, for example, granting discounts on particular content to particular subscribers on specified conditions
- Rules for content charging and delivery depending on content types, users personal profiles, bearers, tariffs, and other parameters
- Real-time charging and integration with the IN platforms to support pre-paid subscribers
- Charging based on the service's status. A user’s request is charged only after the receipt of a proper response from the service
SLA CONTROL
Launching a VAS marketing campaign usually involves a long procedure of agreement between CP and mobile operator on its technical possibility, restrictions, desired outcomes, etc. WHOISD allows setting the basic parameters of the co-operation between CP and Operator, and automatically controls the parties' compliance with the agreed framework. Control over the generated traffic and revenues, signalling about the discrepancy between planned and actual amounts.
- Control and prohibition of unsolicited messaging to subscribers
- Control over CP-to-user SMS traffic limit
- Monitoring the average message cost, relating the CP's revenues over a period with the number of its outgoing and/or incoming traffic

PERSONALIZATION
Storing the user specific data like handset capabilities, most often requested content types, history, and other information that altogether form a user profile. This profile can be applied to foresee customer’s further actions and offer him or her the most familiar or convenient way to access the content. The profiles are also useful when carrying on various marketing campaigns.
BILLING
WHOISD is able to undertake the inherently operator’s function of charging the content proceeding through it. This means that the Platform can generate CDR records (in the case of post-paid billing) and make CAMEL requests to IN (in the case of pre-paid billing). What’s more, the possibility exists to charge pure content, without taking into account how many SMS messages were exchanged, or how many megabytes was passed through operator’s GGSN, or which short SMS number or APN was used. Instead, charging can be organized on the following criteria: whether the particular piece of content is a text, audio, video or still image file; how big it is; what the premium category of this clip, picture or podcast is; and so on. Having in hands such a smart charging instrument, a content aggregator gets completely new technique of mobile content marketing and provisioning.
