Call detail record data refinement and reporting

A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed cause a computer to perform a process, the process comprising:

• capturing call detail record (CDR) data from one or more network elements;
• refining the CDR data by performing:
• a first CDR data reduction process including, for each of the network elements, aggregating selected CDR amount attribute values associated with a selected combination of CDR call setup attributes, wherein the first CDR data reduction process generates a plurality of first refined CDR data entries including a plurality of CDR call setup attribute values and the associated aggregated CDR amount attribute values;
• and
• a second CDR data reduction process including summing the selected CDR amount attribute values from the plurality of first refined CDR data entries having the same set of CDR call setup values, wherein the second CDR data reduction process generates a plurality of second refined CDR data entries.

A system comprising:

• an electronic call detail record (CDR) data capture system configured to receive CDR data from one or more network elements in a network;
• and
• an electronic CDR data refinement system configured to:
• retrieve unrefined CDR data from the electronic CDR data capture system and refine the data by grouping CDR call entries according to selected CDR call setup attributes into groups having common CDR call setup attribute values and summing CDR amount attribute values in each group;
• for each group, creating a single refined CDR call entry, wherein the CDR call entry includes the CDR call setup attributes common to the group and the summed CDR amount attribute values.
