Target Customers: All service providers

The Gap That It Fills: The service providers have
traditionally looked at their customers as the potential users of their future
offerings. So most of the efforts today are focused on finding the "killer
app". Many MR firms earn their livelihood just predicting the next killer
app. But with so many possible services, how can a service provider even hope to
know what will be liked by their customers? Why not allow them to choose for
themselves from a range of services and bandwidths? That is what
self-provisioning means. But for an efficient operation, it requires that a
service provider should have the ability to buy and sell services on-demand.

Mantra’s Intelligent Resource Exchange (IRX) allows service
providers to do just that. It enables them to buy, market, sell and cross-sell
the customer-driven services across a heterogeneous technology network. IRX not
just allows subscribers to choose what they want on a real-time dynamic basis,
it also enables the service providers to do business analysis for new service
offerings, by a detailed network analysis. It actually shows how profitable is
each of these services, based on the demand and supply cost. What else does one
need?
