Elitecore Technologies has launched Crestel, its Convergent Billing Solution, in the European region through its participation in Billing Systems 2006. Formerly known as JISP Billing, Crestel is the carrier-grade billing, customer care, mediation and provisioning platform that enables next generation data, voice and video services over wireless and wireline networks.
“In the current highly evolutionary phase, operator success depends on a customer oriented approach rather than a technology-oriented one,†says Nikhil Jain, President and COO, Elitecore Technologies. “Crestel’s strength lies in its ability to build scale with margins, enhancing operator profitability and long-term stability.â€
Crestel delivers scale with margins by facilitating convergence at the customer, OSS and BSS level, while enabling fine segmentation at the customer, service and geographic levels. The Western European Billing and OSS market is set to grow to nearly EUR1.4 billion by 2010, according to Analysys. Crestel aims to penetrate this market through a modular approach in addition to full systemic revamps. Crestel’s modular architecture delivers billing, customer care, mediation and provisioning, offering great flexibility and scalability to service providers.
“Crestel is in a strong position to handle emerging services and technologies like VoIP, IPTV and WiMAX, in addition to traditional data and telecom services,†says Niladri Datta, VP-worldwide Sales and Sales Operations, Elitecore Technologies. “With these strengths, Crestel satisfies operator requirement for a next generation system that ensures rapid service launches, unified view and controls and quick rollout of new technologies.â€
