Setera Communications Chooses Comptel for Subscription Management and Service Charging

3:28 pm   -   December 3rd, 2007

Comptel Corporation, the leading vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software, will deliver a complete solution for managing subscriber services and charging to Finnish service provider Setera Communications. This solution will be based around standard components from Comptel’s service fulfillment, mediation and charging portfolio, but deployed in a new innovative way.

Founded in 2006, Setera focuses providing IP- centric business voice, data and value-added service solutions. Setera’s target customers are small and medium sized multi-location enterprises, as well service providers looking to add voice solutions into their existing product portfolio. As a new and rapidly growing service provider, Setera wanted a solution that would allow them to manage subscriptions and charge for the services they offer their customers and channel partners without investing in the traditional separate billing and order management systems.

Mr Tuomo Kiesvaara, CEO at Setera says: “We chose Comptel because of their proven portfolio of operator back-end systems. Their understanding of the change taking place in operator business models, combined with their capability to adapt their standard components into the IP–centric business model of Setera, is perfectly aligned with our vision of the winning future operating model.

“With Comptel as our partner in one of the critical and most complex areas of operator business, we are well positioned to continue our growth and expand our service portfolio during the coming years” continues Kiesvaara.

Mr. Harri Palviainen, Comptel’s Executive Vice President for Sales, concludes:.”Comptel thrives on innovation, as we believe it reduces the time to market and increases the value for money for our customers. This project with Setera is an excellent illustration of how Comptel Dynamic OSS can be deployed in new ways to meet the requirements of an innovative service provider.”
