NTP Software Storage Billing System™ provides detailed information about the storage consumption within your enterprise along with the ability to assert a high degree of customization over the cost of the storage consumption per gigabyte

NTP Software Storage Billing System™ gives you the flexibility of importing departmental data from other systems in your current environment into the Storage Billing System

NTP Software Storage Billing System™ enables you to generate bills, then confirm and send those bills to the specified recipients thus facilitating the integration of storage into the cash flow

NTP Software Storage Billing System™ has three billing options:

• Fixed Allocation - the customer is charged a fixed amount that represents the cost of the storage allocated for their use. If they sign up for 10 terabytes, they are charged for 10 terabytes. They can use some of it, all of it, or none of it and the bill is the same
• Actual Use - users are charged for their actual consumption from a general pool of storage, either by some sort of average measure, or based on data gathered at fixed periods in time
• Hybrid - users pay a fixed amount at a lower rate based on a guaranteed commitment to a specific amount of storage, and then pay a higher rate if they use more than the committed amount. (Some may recognize this as being the same as a cell phone billing plan)

As a financial application, NTP Software Storage Billing System™ produces a fully auditable record and the machine readable file you will need for your accounting system. It accommodates monthly as well as configurable periodic billing. In addition, you can preview summary and detailed data on-line as needed. Created by the integration with financial systems in mind, NTP Software Storage Billing System™ solves the storage chargeback problem without creating new problems in your environment
