Netcracker Technology announced today that Virgin Media O2 Business has chosen Netcracker Revenue Management, part of the Netcracker Digital BSS product suite, for next-generation capabilities. The consolidated revenue management platform is expected to help the operator improve customer experience by centralizing B2B billing for its user base.
