Resolving issues and accelerating performance for global carriers

History

Global Solutions Council (GSC) (formerly the Global Settlements Carrier Group or GSC Group) was created in January 2003 by a collective of leading Carriers dedicated to meeting increased demand for flexible global electronic information exchange, billing and settlement standardization and best practices business process development to accelerate commercial resolution and performance.

The outstanding success of the inaugural meeting of the GSC Group in Singapore (March 2003) revealed an untapped demand among Telecommunications Carriers for a global forum dedicated to discussing issues and agreeing on new standards for international billing and settlements. The highly successful Vancouver meeting (October 2003) encouraged more Carriers to join as GSC members.

The Paris meeting (April 2004) was well received and confirmed continued Carrier interest in expanding on guidelines development. Along with the Paris meeting, the Hong Kong gathering (March 2005) enabled GSC Group to move forward with establishing guidelines for key areas including Complex Swap Deals, Dispute Resolution, Credit Management, Full Invoicing and Net Settlement.

GSC has become integral to driving Resolution Intelligence, Standards Unification, and Confidence in Confidentiality to shape the resolution, evolution and transformation roadmap for the communications industry. Carriers from all continents have enthusiastically embraced GSC’s efforts in addition to the ITU/TSB/ITU Study Group 3, which invited our organization to cooperate as a key contributor to its activities. The Membership continues to grow rapidly worldwide to address some of the most pressing commercial challenges faced by Carriers.
