Scenario 1: Whatever your size, you are originating and need termination or transit from another carrier. Credit terms offered are expensive or "almost" not acceptable-to still stay competitive in your own marketplace, but you need their termination/transit price. Your local competition is getting stronger and smarter. But you are not willing to simply prepay into the big carrier's account and trust their CDRs will match yours, because you didn't work with them for 20 years. You cannot make mistakes.
Scenario 2: You are a mid-sized international carrier or mobile operator planning major direct cooperation with another carrier. Alternatively, you might be an ISP or NewGen initially originating VoIP. The problem is basically the same because your projected initial flows are largely asymmetrical. You will have to ramp-up the other side, and it will take time for them to source enough termination from you. Today, you cannot 'balance the financial risk by having balanced values in traffic flows' between yourselves.
Scenario 3: You need to 'lock-in' a specific termination or transit price from a supplier/larger carrier for a term, but your prospective big carrier provider hasn't worked with you before or wants a big (read: "expensive") guarantee. You need 'friendly,' good credit terms (and they impact dramatically on the supplier's price), but guarantees are expensive at your bank and complicated to get and provide quickly. Your competitors are increasingly multi-sourcing transit & termination and so must you ->for pricing, mostly, but also for safer network redundancy. Letters of Credit require extensive paperwork, and often maybe your business requires weekly or more frequent partial payments. Traditional generic LC's for foreign trade, from your probably rather generic bank, are impractical for this. They also 'eat a big hole' in your cash flow and you still need to pay the connectivity+termination to the bigger carrier. After your basic network operations costs, Cash Flow is your key 'local' issue. It's not just Local Currency Cash Flow, but also International Settlement Currency Purchases that you must balance against all your other operational factors. Current international currency fluctuations help make managing this a quiet nightmare. Working faster reduces your exposure to global currency fluctuations, which have become a significant risk factor in your telecom business, now. However, your bank is probably not very understanding of your operational business needs in this respect, and is likely slower than you know that you really 'need' simply because 'that 'is the way they work' on everything and you are not their 'largest and most interesting customer.' You bank can do it and does it now, but it's really expensive, often complicated, painfully slow, and the double task of trying to make it work faster, each time, and managing each cycle, is time-consuming for your busy staff. This also ties-up both your needed local cash and your international currency reserves and 'drawing privileges' from your regular bankers. Your ome other system is needed, urgently.
Yes; you really do need something BETTER and TOTALLY SAFE.

- With better credit terms, you can get better
interconnect + termination pricing per minute - and
- Maybe you can even buy off of another (better) 'rate sheet.'
- Together, that is hugely important to your operations, because perhaps as much ~45% of your operating profits come in linking to other international carriers....money you make or lose in interconnects and related processes
- You also need time to compare CDRs, and you need to off-load some of the banking work to somebody everybody can trust.
