Highdeal
and DigitalRoute Team Up to Develop a Mediation and Pricing
Solution for Convergent Services
Paris, March
3, 2004 – Highdeal, an independent
software vendor achieving the leadership in the charging and
rating market for mobile data and new generation IP services
and DigitalRoute, a leading provider of convergent mediation
solutions , have announced that they are teaming up to develop
a m ediation and pricing solution for convergent services .
It includes Highdeal Transactive® , a unique pricing and
charging solution, and MediationZone ™ , the
leading next generation mediation platform.
The joint Highdeal and DigitalRoute offer
provides telecommunications network operators and service providers
with a highly efficient solution for convergent service mediation,
rating and billing, while enabling them to boost the Return on
Investment (ROI) of their value added services (content, etc.).
. Based on the same software standards (Java, XML), these solutions
are truly convergent, supporting batch and real-time on the same
platform, and are designed for ease of deployment minimizing
customization efforts by requiring only simple configuration.
MediationZone ™ and Transactive enable
true prepaid and postpaid convergence. MediationZone ™ collects
customers' service requests, and transmits them to Transactive
where they are priced in real time and billed according to the
selected payment mode. For prepaid customers, MediationZone ™ returns
a confirmation based on subscriber balance management information
residing in Transactive ® or in an external system such as
an IN-node. This enables the MediationZone ™ and Transactive ® solution
to be used in real-time request/response type situations commonly
seen in prepaid environments and content charging.
“Our partnership with DigitalRoute
allows us to deliver the most sophisticated offer for content
pricing and billing on the market,” says Christophe Justeau,
VP for EMEA Alliances at Highdeal. “The new solution offers
superior performance and is easy to integrate into existing
systems.”
“Today's service providers have to
be ready to meet the challenge of a rapidly evolving environment.
This means offering new services at reasonable prices, and
with a faster ROI,” adds Ulf Zettersten, VP of Product
Management and Marketing at DigitalRoute. “MediationZone ™ ,
DigitalRoute's mediation solution, combined with the Highdeal
technology, provides operators with a flexible, turnkey solution
for billing all types of content, whether on pre- or post payment
basis.”
