What Nexign does
Nexign is a Saint Petersburg-headquartered software vendor founded in 1992 (originally as Peter-Service) that develops Business Support Systems (BSS) and adjacent telecom network software for communications service providers. The company's modular, database-agnostic platform spans core BSS (Nexign BSS), convergent charging and revenue management, interconnect and roaming settlement, partner management, policy and charging functions for 4G/5G (PCRF/PCF), mediation, IoT connectivity management, and 5G service-based architecture components (SCP, NRF, SCEF). Underpinning these are proprietary infrastructure components including the Nexign Nord DBMS, Microservices Framework, and the ML-based Nexign Anomaly Detector. Nexign also operates Neon HRM, a standalone HR management product spun out of internal use, and runs the Nexign Academy training center.
The company serves more than 180 telecom operator customers across 12 countries, with named deployments including MegaFon (Russia), Rostelecom, Tele2/T2, Kcell (Kazakhstan), Ucell (Uzbekistan), and Uzbektelecom. Since 2022, PAO MegaFon has been the sole shareholder, making Nexign a wholly-owned subsidiary that delivers its largest engagements intra-group as well as to external CSPs in CIS, Eastern Europe, and increasingly the Middle East and Africa. Nexign monetizes through three primary streams: enterprise BSS platform licensing and subscriptions, professional services for end-to-end transformation delivery, and ongoing managed services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
Nexign pursues an enterprise field sales motion targeting telecom operator decision-makers directly, supplemented by participation in industry events such as TM Forum's Digital Transformation World and Gitex Africa, technical content marketing, and customer success storytelling. The firm holds TM Forum Open API conformance certification and received an MEA Business Award for its Converged Charging solution. Recent strategic activity centers on cloud-native product development (Nexign Revenue Management, Universal Digital Billing), geographic expansion into Africa and additional CIS markets, ecosystem partnerships (joint IoT platform with Rostelecom and Tele2), and inorganic growth via the 2020 acquisition of Storm Technologies.
