Billing & Revenue Management Pipeline Developer 7.5 Training Overview
This training focuses on building expertise in BRM Pipeline development, including rating, event detection, and format mapping. You'll learn to develop custom pipeline modules, configure EDR formats, and work with pricing data in a distributed architecture. Real-time and batch rating scenarios are covered, along with integration points for pre- and post-processing. It prepares you for hands-on pipeline implementation in high-throughput telecom environments.
