Revenues are calculated separately for each product and for maintenance and consulting services. In addition, product revenue is broken out between new sales and upgrade sales. New sales and upgrade sales are further broken down into license, installation, and customization revenue. The products included in this forecast are customer care and billing (CCB) products, prepaid IN (PPIN) product, and short messaging (SMSC) product.
Pricing assumptions for licenses include a 10% discount from list for direct sales and 30% from list for indirect sales. Sales are forecast at 50% direct and 50% indirect resulting in a weighted average discount of 20%.
Pricing for licenses stays constant over the five year period. OSS Telecom Technology does not increase license pricing while significantly increasing feature set to maintain competitive pricing advantage over the five-year period.
