Central source for subscriber and device information

The specific price of the Number Information Register depends on several factors, such as your set-up and requirements. These are the most important aspects that determine pricing:

• Market size: a bigger market (e.g., number of operators connected) means more processes, which impact platform requirements and support needs. Note that this is only a determining price factor pre-launch. An active solution can be scaled without additional costs.
• Specific needs: if we the align Number Information Register with international best practices, drastic technical adjustments to our solution are often not required; this results in an economical solution and shorter time to market.
• Contract term: a longer term of the contract allows you more time and opportunity to recover costs than a shorter term contract.

Implementation of the Number Information Register usually takes 6 to 12 months, from project launch to a fully available service for all stakeholders. The part where PXS is involved – specification gathering, implementation and training – is completed in four months. After those four months, all operators should get connected and the solution must be thoroughly tested.

It is definitely possible to transfer existing data to the Number Information Register. We will analyze the existing data together and define a migration strategy based on that analysis as part of the project.

The Number Information Register is beneficial to regulators, operators and end users, providing a central solution for the accessing and processing of subscriber data.

• Benefits for regulators and operators: one central place for the registration of subscriber details in order to easily comply with laws and regulations.
• Benefits for third parties: it is possible to give access to selected organizations (such as emergency services or law enforcement agencies) to the centralized number information register.
• Benefits for end users: subscribers are able to view their personal details stored and their directory listing preferences.

Running the Number Information Register in the cloud is just as safe as operating it locally. Depending on your local set-up, it may even be safer to run the platform in the cloud. Our application is secure by design, and we take technical and organizational measures for data security and availability. These measures include regular audits and assessments of our solutions, carried out by and independent company.

Also consider these general safety benefits of the cloud:

1. Increased availability: in the cloud, the platform data is stored in multiple data centers that are geo-redundant. If one server goes down, the other server instantly takes over. Achieving this on a local level is expensive.
2. Improved physical security: major cloud providers spare no expense to protect their data centers. They have state-of-the-art physical and digital security, as well as round-the-clock security monitoring.
3. 24/7 security monitoring: cloud providers also invest in a security operations center (SOC), monitoring the infrastructure 24/7. It is costly and challenging to achieve this on a local level.
4. No out-of-date hardware: to run a secure platform locally, hardware has to be replaced when its economical and physical lifecycle ends (usually every five years). This often includes renewing software licenses as well. When using the cloud, this is not an issue.

An optional subscriber web portal allows end users to view and modify personal data. This portal will be read-only by default, so end users can only view their personal data stored. It is up to you to decide if end users are granted permission to modify data themselves, or if this should be done by the operator upon request. Our solution supports both processes.

Properly protecting data requires technical and organizational procedures. We guarantee that all data processing complies with local data and privacy protection regulations. All of our security measures are in line with global best practices, with our solutions regularly being tested by an independent company. These tests are based on a cybersecurity assessment, including pen tests, vulnerability tests and infrastructure security tests.

The Number Information Register requires a one-time import of existing data. This dataset must be analyzed, cleaned and converted in advance, to match the format of the register. After the initial migration, operators will be able to keep the data up-to-date through the REST API or CSV files. They get one platform to maintain services such as directory listing preferences and the Do Not Call register.

Everyone using the Number Information Register receives tailored customer support. Documentation is centrally available, and your users are properly onboarded and trained. Because the platform is delivered as a managed service, we will keep it up-to-date and add new functionalities. Of course, the platform is also monitored continuously, to ensure you are notified of issues in a timely manner.
