Our Solutions
The iNSight Platform provides solutions in the enterprise data and transaction management landscape.
Its main function is to repurpose and deliver business-critical information to a variety of systems and stakeholders, making it especially well positioned within the operational and business support systems environment of services companies such as telecoms, banking, and financial services.
Its unique data architecture allows for real-time interaction with other platforms and applications, from network elements to financial systems. The framework can be unbundled into a combination of individual components, to address requirements for specific applications.
Information Management
Reduce your time to insight
Today’s business leaders face the critical challenge of deciphering rapidly evolving data. iNSight emerges as a revolutionary end-to-end solution, expertly crafted to navigate this landscape. We specialize in collecting, extracting, optimizing, and ingesting vast data streams. Our robust platform excels in securely storing and meticulously analyzing this data. By transforming complex datasets into actionable insights, iNSight ensures that key decision-makers receive vital information precisely when needed. Our commitment is to consistently provide clarity and strategic direction, enabling leaders to stay ahead in an ever-changing marketplace.
Business Assurance
Protect your revenue and reputation
Incidents of fraud erode confidence and have an adverse impact on brand reputation, while persistent revenue leakage can sink a big business. Our iNSight Fraud and Revenue Assurance Management System uses an array of controls and machine learning that allows our clients to find fraud fast, recover revenue and apply preventative measures to avoid reoccurrence. Our experienced team is equipped to help our clients implement a suitable governance, risk, and compliance strategy to ensure all consumer protection obligations are effectively discharged – and to help build all important trust in your products and services.
Cyber Security
Cybersecurity as the Foundation of Business Success
When it comes to cyber security, SMEs in Africa face a particular set of challenges. They may have limited resources and a lack of in-house expertise, but they are still vulnerable to cyber threats that can compromise their operations, financial well-being, and reputation. That’s where our cyber security services come in.
Our foundational services are designed to protect your business from a range of threats. They will also help you understand and prioritise risks, identify and remediate vulnerabilities, and meet compliance requirements. With these services, you can rest assured that your business is well-protected, even in the face of an ever-changing threat landscape.
Business Systems
Increase revenue, decrease churn
As innovation and new technology spur consumer demand for new products and services, telecoms operators are steadily transforming into digital service providers, which adds more complexity to their business models, processes, workflows, pricing strategies, and revenue streams. Our iNSight Business Systems offer a comprehensive CRM platform with all the tools for marketing, sales, service activation and ongoing customer support. It also features converged billing capabilities that support the creation of new services and the management of complex pricing strategies that include the likes of revenue sharing, zero-rated and sponsored services, elastic pricing, loyalty points, pro-rated services, and others.
FinTech
Expedite your ecosystem expansion
The broad adoption of mobile money positions operators as enablers of trade and commerce. Our iNSight Payment Gateway enables scalable expansion of mobile financial services operations that connect consumers, businesses, and governments so they can connect, share resources, provide services, and sell products. It offers integrated revenue generating capabilities, including merchant and layby solutions for retail, e-commerce, bill payments, credit origination, event ticketing and more.
