Needs of UMTS and GPRS Network Operators
Integrated Technologies to Provide Fully Convergent Billing,
Customer Care and Mediation Solution
- London, United Kingdom and Dublin, Ireland – October 31,
2000 – MaxBill, an innovative provider of customer-centric
Customer Care and Billing (CC&B) systems for providers of
usage-based and event-driven telecommunications services, and
Openet Telecom, a leading provider of convergent mediation solutions
and provisioning for the telecommunications networks of this and
the next generation, have announced a joint integration and marketing
alliance.
- The two companies will deliver a truly convergent billing, customer
care and mediation solution for UMTS, GPRS, WAP, IP and broadband
network operators as well as other communications service providers
(CSPs) worldwide. The resulting solution will enable service providers
to offer and bill for convergent services with sophisticated pricing
plans, including volume and cross-service discounts.
- Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will integrate
the MaxBill CC&B system, which provides Internet-enabled customer
care, order management, convergent rating and data warehousing
functionality, with Openet Telecom’s FusionWorks, an open-standards
based, distributed mediation platform capable of providing customizable
subscriber usage mediation, through an intelligent, multi-tiered
rules-based engine (i.e Dynamic Business Engine) that facilitates
the application of adaptable business scenarios to support a particular
CSPs individual network deployment.
- “The integration of Openet’s FusionWorks mediation
platform and the MaxBill CC&B system will create a truly convergent
solution to support WAP, IP and m-commerce while delivering revenue
and service assurance support,” said Rick Henry, MaxBill’s
Manager of Business Solutions. “The alliance between Openet
Telecom and MaxBill will generate real opportunities to develop
successful implementations of convergent solutions for new CSPs
as well as traditional carriers facing the challenges posed by
the 3G revolution. These solutions will allow all types of communication
providers to offer the services that today’s network subscribers
are demanding allowing CSPs both to reduce the costs of becoming
convergent and maximize revenues while deploying new value-added
services,” said Roger Davis, Openet Telecom’s Vice President
of Marketing.
