VoluBill achieves 94% growth in FY 2006 as operators seek to understand mobile subscriber usage and charge for mobile data services in real time

VoluBill, a leading provider of dedicated Mobile Data Charging solutions for data, content, messaging and VoIP services, has announced it has recorded its best ever financial year. A combination of recurring business and strategic new contract wins with leading operators such as Telefonica, Orange, Orascom, Bharti-Airtel and Digicel, helped to achieve 94 % business growth in 2006.

VoluBill says its sustained year-on-year success underscores the demand for its solutions worldwide, and proves that real time, differentiated charging and access control is a key requirement in the telecoms industry if operators are to maximise profit from the plethora of new mobile services.

“Our unique position in the marketplace, which is based on combining active and passive network probes with rating, balance management and user profiling capabilities, enables operators to charge and control services in ways that was not previously possible,” said John Aalbers, CEO of VoluBill. “By transcending the boundary between the network and the back office, we have greatly simplified the charging and control challenges by creating an integrated solution like no other available. In 2006 this was recognised by the market and it has directly benefited our business,” added Aalbers.

2006 saw acceleration in the mass market take up of advanced mobile services around the globe. In many countries the volume and complexity of traffic for these services reached the point where serious, scalable and flexible charging solutions were needed. Today, many operators are now finding that the basic solutions that were put in place to support the launch phase of Mobile Data are no longer sufficiently powerful or scalable. This trend will continue in 2007.

“We are confident that our strong growth will continue into the new financial year. In 2007 our technology will be able to bring even richer subscriber usage information to bear,” said Aalbers. “Operators will be able understand subscriber usage patterns as they are happening. When you combine this information with pricing and charging functionality in real time, the power to react quickly and uniquely will be well and truly in an operator's hands,” added Aalbers.
