CAT Telecom Implements Billing and Mediation Solutions by Comverse for Wireless CDMA and Fixed Line Services
Legacy systems replaced to enhance competitiveness
Comverse announced that CAT Telecom, Thailand’s incumbent communications services provider, deployed the Comverse Billing and Mediation solutions to support its wireless CDMA and fixed line services, replacing CAT’s legacy billing systems. This convergent operator selected the Comverse billing, ordering, and mediation solutions to reduce complexity in their BSS infrastructure while increasing market agility.
“The Thai telecommunications market is in the throes of deregulation, and CAT has responded to this change by enhancing our mobile offering with sophisticated features and functionality,” stated Jirayut Rungsrithong, SEVP and CFO of CAT. “To support this business transformation, we sought to replace our legacy billing systems with an advanced solution that serves our current needs while handling future growth to a converged network that will offer real-time charging for postpaid subscribers. The Comverse Billing and Mediation Solutions allow us to meet the new demands of our market and improve our competitive position.”
Comverse Billing Solutions are optimized for the converging communications market, combining multi-service data mediation and billing with an advanced set of active customer management capabilities, including customer self-service, ordering and activation, real-time charging and payments. Comverse Billing Solutions have been widely adopted around the globe, enabling operators to grow revenues, build loyalty and reduce operating expenses. During the implementation phase, Comverse worked closely with several partners, including Infor and Subex Azure, to ensure smooth system integration.
“With the Comverse Billing Solution in place, CAT is able to better manage its existing subscribers and services, while gaining speed to market and the ability to rapidly introduce new features for full convergence down the road,” said Eitan Achlow, President of Comverse Asia Pacific. “The ability to easily create and charge for churn-reducing convergent services will help CAT to drive subscriber growth and increase its market share in Thailand’s competitive mobile market.”
