INCA (INtegrated Cost Application) is a generic top-down cost modelling software platform designed to model cost structures of telecommunication operators or companies in other regulated or network-related industries. Able to handle cost models up to a high degree of complexity, it can be used to derive justifiable costs and obtain a clear and accurate view on the cost structure.
