Core offering

IST develops and sells the SPMS/MTB Enterprise Product Catalog (EPC), a software platform that enables Communication Service Providers to manage the full lifecycle of their products and services from conceptualization through design, definition, approval, commercialization, and retirement. The platform acts as a single authoritative point of entry for all product-related data and integrates with surrounding BSS/OSS systems via APIs. IST also offers the NCT Platform and independently procurable add-on modules covering workflow, revenue assurance, customer care, website, cost control, GSMA, IFRS, e-Commerce, RCN, and integration capabilities.
