VimpelCom-Backed Mobile Operator Sotelco Uses Comverse ONE Billing Platform to Enter Cambodian Market
Submitted by Business Desk on June 24, 2009 - 19:08
Comverse announces that Sotelco, a new Cambodian mobile operator, has launched the Comverse® ONE™ Billing and Active Customer Management™ solution to support prepaid and postpaid subscribers and roll out bundled multi-play service offerings.
Sotelco, whose majority owner is VimpelCom Group (NYSE: VIP), also will implement Comverse's voice and messaging services from the Comverse HUB, including SMS, MMS, ringback tones, call completion services, and management of mobile data services.
"The commercial start under the Beeline brand in Cambodia is an important stage in the international development of VimpelCom following our success in Russia and CIS,” said Vladimir Riabokon, Executive Vice-President, VimpelCom. "Following the successful deployment of Comverse ONE at Sotelco, we strongly consider the opportunity to work with Comverse to expand this platform to additional affiliates and markets in the region.”
Comverse ONE Billing and Active Customer Management is a comprehensive Business Support System (BSS) solution that saves operators time and money because convergent billing, order management and customer management are built around the same data model, thereby removing integration points and speeding deployment times. This approach allows operators to support new business models, and is scalable to meet evolving business needs and phased transformation goals.
“Comverse ONE is ideally suited for all types of carriers,” said Urban Gillstrom, Group President of Global Sales at Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling value-added messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer management, and IP communications. “While it’s a perfect enabler for greenfield operators,” he said, “its advanced architecture supports the business and technical requirements of Tier-1 operators, such as VimpelCom.”
Comverse Global Services helped to deploy the Comverse ONE solution at Sotelco, acting as the main service delivery partner for the project
