Hosted ASP Summarised
The iCONX systems are hosted remotely at the EU-located iCONX data centre as an “ASP”. The hardware, software and expertise necessary to ensure correct operation are all provided remotely by iCONX. All of your unique data will also be stored securely at the iCONX data centre. Your users will access and operate the system as normal, via a secure web-browser login.
Efficient Operational Model
As an automated process, iCONX GDPR-compliant file collection software transfers (either pull / push) vital data such as EDRs from your switch collection platform to be processed in the systems. Our support teams also take responsibility for checking that your traffic has been rated and processed successfully.

Managed Services Summarised
As well as hosting the system for you, iCONX provides a full range of managed services to address your billing & routing requirements. Additional services (eg. rates loading, report production, month-end preparation) can be cherry-picked one by one to suit your requirement. Alternatively the entire interconnect billing and routing management function can be outsourced if desired.
Customisable Service Levels
To help you scope this, we break down the key tasks into a 30-item menu for your selection. Tasks may also be shared – for instance, iCONX can provide an automated reporting pack, whilst you simultaneously retain your own reporting login for ad hoc analysis.
Flexible Commercial Options
iCONX Managed Services come with two flexible payment options.
* Capex-free : you pay via MRC (monthly recurring charges), which are scaled against the exact daily/monthly volumes of traffic passing through the system
* Capex-loaded : where Capex is favoured, front-loaded commitments may be scaled against an agreed term.
