System architecture

Avante IBS is an independent system that uses a separate DBMS instance. Since such systems are required to deal with large amounts of data, the processes are oriented to mass data processing in multi-threaded modes.

Additional system convenience is the ability to repeatedly perform the operation of linking and relinking the downloaded traffic, iterative work on tariffing and reconciliation, tools for finding and eliminating discrepancies. With the system it is possible to bill both independently and by uploading all the necessary data to an external system.

The system has a standard API that allows to quickly integrate the system into the existing infrastructure. This applies both to integrating with the business applications in use, and to the various technical platforms through which the customer service is provided.
