Intec Billing has announced the latest addition to its Intec Mobile Business Solution range – an ‘Express’ version of its Intec Convergent Billing technology, Singl.eView. This ‘ready-to-go’ mobile customer care and billing solution offers emerging operators an unprecedented capability to quickly meet their primary BSS requirements, while creating an evolutionary path to a fully convergent, tier one BSS/OSS architecture based on class-leading technology.

The new version offers new and fast developing mobile operators a cost-effective way to launch their business in the minimum time, acquire and look after new customers, cope with rapid increases in subscriber numbers, and still have the flexibility to launch new services as they are developed.

Kevin Adams, CEO of Intec said: “Express solves a difficult problem for mobile start-ups – how to get a state-of-the-art billing and subscriber management capability without spending a fortune, risking the business on an unproven system, and taking many, many months to implement it. The key differences between Express and other entry point billing solutions are its inherent low implementation risk coupled with its ability to be continually expanded, without replacement, into the sort of tier one BSS/OSS architecture employed by the largest global players.”

This new solution offers a fixed-scope starting position for a mobile billing and customer care solution that can be implemented quickly – achieving rapid return on investment – yet delivers the scalability and flexibility to address future performance requirements. A well defined scope, pre-defined interfaces to key mobile systems such as HLRs, easy data migration, and pre-configured best practice processes enable stable and high quality implementations. However, the solution also provides necessary flexibility, offering important choices in areas such as Chart of Accounts, number and types of rate plans, and rules for MSISDN inventory management.

The Intec Mobile Business Solution suite can be effectively deployed in phases that match the evolution of the operator’s network and services. Operators can start with a solution for selling basic voice and SMS services, move to prepaid and post paid convergence, and evolve right through to full fixed and mobile convergence, at a pace that suits their business growth programs.

Key benefits of Intec Mobile Business Solution – Express include:
Designed for easy, rapid and low-cost implementation, using standards based technology
Pre-integrated solution based on proven, best-of-breed components for post-pay services, also enabling ease of integration with INs, and pre-pay capabilities

Pre-defined scope supporting common wireless services, functions and business processes
