Application Policy Controller
With a single repository for user profiles relating to applications access, Application Policy Controller delivers a single platform for subscriber management and provisioning that enables rapid launch of new applications and content.
To be competitive, improve business agility, and implement new business models, Service Providers need to authorize, track, and monetize subscriber interaction with applications and content. Application Policy Controller allows operators to extend policy controls over any application regardless of where it is hosted, providing granular controls that are tightly aligned with business needs. An evolution of the Bridgewater Systems Application Authorization Server, Application Policy Controller is based on proven technology deployed in Service Provider networks.
With an intuitive user interface and highly flexible and granular policy creation capabilities, Application Policy Controller puts business services teams in the driver's seat to create and offer services at pace with subscriber demand. (click to enlarge)
