About AI in Cloud Scale Monetization

Cloud Scale Monetization offers AI-based microservices that enable you to build end-to-end machine learning (ML) workflows. You use these workflows to create customized models and implement monetization and charging features tailored to your business needs.

The microservices are highly extensible and configurable. They deliver flexibility and scalability, and are certified for use with both Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and select third-party technologies.

Note:

Oracle recommends using OCI for a seamless experience, including OCI Data Flow, OCI Data Science, OCI Object Storage, and advanced model management capabilities provided by OCI Data Science.

You can integrate the AI microservices with Cloud Scale Monetization products such as Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM), Oracle Communications Elastic Charging Engine (ECE), Oracle Communications Billing Care, and Oracle Communications Convergent Charging Controller.

With AI functionality in Cloud Scale Monetization, you can:

  • Create data sources to build efficient ML workflows. Collect and fetch data in bulk or as needed, and use this data to train models.

  • Train models based on configured data sources. You select which features, such as currency, country, available cash balance, and current deal, to include in model training.

  • Use inference services to make predictions. Analyze current data and generate predictions for future scenarios. For example, based on a customer’s usage pattern, you can predict the offer a customer is most likely to choose.

Note:

The AI-based microservices framework and related capabilities are newly introduced and are currently offered as experimental functionality.
