History

Cartesian was founded in July 1996 by Jim Baker, William Hill, Janos Sivo, and Alan Strong. At the end of 2000 Cartesian moved from Soho to its current location of Descartes House in Holborn. In December 2006 Cartesian was purchased by TMNG.

Consulting services

The company's main focuses are consultancy, systems integration (billing, service activation, mediation, network inventory etc.) and revenue assurance for telcos, and it offers both products and consulting services in these areas. Its main consulting offerings in the revenue assurance field are in the areas of revenue audits, billing, mediation and provisioning.

Software products

Cartesian's software products are sold under the "Ascertain" brand. The modules cover two broad areas:
1) a suite of revenue assurance and data integrity tools - addresses CDR leakage, traffic rating, event analysis and reconciliation, and usage monitoring
2) inter-operator provisioning - can be integrated with a telco's own messaging and workflow systems to orchestrate provisioning requests across internal provisioning systems and/or third party providers e.g. Local Loop Unbundling, Geographic Number Portability and maintaining national service databases with customer location information for use by emergency services (999).
