Intec secures billing contract with Bezeq, Israel's national telecommunications provider
Intec Telecom Systems, a leading OSS software vendor for fixed, mobile and next-generation networks, has secured an important contract with Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corp., Limited. Intec will supply Bezeq with both InterconnecT, its market leading intercarrier billing system, and InterconnecT Automated Reconciliation (AR). The deal was won in partnership with DM3000, an Intec business partner based in Cesarea, Israel.
Bezeq and its subsidiaries offer a full range of telecommunication servicesincluding domestic, international and cellular phone services; Internet,ADSL, and other data communications; leased lines and corporate networks.The company's revenue is some £1bn, making it one of the country's largestorganisations, and it is ranked 78 in the Global 100 Network Operators list.The Israeli government, which retains a controlling 54.6 per cent interestin the company, is committed to Bezeq's privatisation.
"With the privatisation of Bezeq moving ahead, the company and its partnerswill need an accurate, high performance interconnect billing system tomaximise revenue and reconcile bills. The track record of Intec, as theclear market leader in this aspect of billing, will be important in meetingthis requirement," said Intec CEO Kevin Adams.
"Intec has a growing presence in the Israeli market, driven from ourregional office in Rome," added Intec's Southern Europe Area Director, LivioVentura.
InterconnecT helps operators to maximise revenues and reduce costs bygenerating statements and invoices for outgoing and incoming call costs tointerconnect partners. As the company moves towards privatisation, the costeffectiveness of the InterconnecT billing solution will provide crucialbusiness advantage for Bezeq by billing and settling all services from asingle platform, with full visibility of costs, revenues and margins acrossall lines of business. InterconnecT AR is an add-on module which greatlysimplifies and accelerates the complex and time-consuming problem ofreconciling billing disputes or inconsistencies between carrier partners.
Mr. Raz Heiferman, VP for Information Technology of Bezeq, said: "Central toour search for an efficient billing system was a desire to minimiseinter-carrier discrepancies and streamline the settlement process. Bychoosing InterconnecT, we will be able to address this need, strengtheningour position with other carriers and making us more efficient."[l=www.intecbilling.com/]http://www.intecbilling.com/[/l]
