IPTV Billing & Provisioning Platform for all Triple Play Services
Expand Triple Play Services to Quad Play Services – Internet, Voice, IPTV/VoD/PPV + Mobile – while reducing IT expenses with a single, converged provisioning and billing platform
What is IPTV?
Traditional TV is a thing of the past. Customers want a wide range of products and services such as TV, Internet and data at their whim.
Content delivery companies and service providers need a simple and intuitive platform to confidently provision and charge customers while delivering their end users the video and TV content they want – on demand.

With PortaBilling, you get an all-in-one platform for provisioning and charging – eliminating the risk of revenue leakage. Plus you get the ability to customize as you like, create bundles for niche markets, and increase your attractiveness with value-added services that easily integrate.
Why delivering Triple Play services is not simple
CSPs, ISPs and Telcos delivering Triple Play services to customers have to deal with a lot of demands from end users which can generate issues and frustrations.
Risk of lost profits
Creating customized products and pricing can be complicated and leaves the possibility of revenue leakage.
Demand for tailored offers
Customers want products that are unique and fit their demands (Video-on-DEMAND)
Increased potential of errors
Multiple systems/platforms for product creation, provisioning and charging can lead to mistakes as admins move from one to another.
Lack of differentiation
Standard packages aren’t what customers want and it’s what your competition is offering
Discover a better way
But there is a way to satisfy customers’ demands while ensuring you profit and your employees are working efficiently.
