·

Support for mobile data provisioning, discounts and free trial offers;

·

Flexibility in setting up multiple bundle offers, including managing hard bundles, soft bundles and reselling for different subscriber audiences;

·

Backend for managing user authentications, validations, entitlements and activations;

·
