Thanks
to its OEM and solutions strategy, Highdeal asserts its
leadership of the rating market and enables service providers
to price their new mobile and broadband services.
According
to IDC, the rating market is growing 17% per annum
through 2007.
Paris – 11
th of June 2004 — Highdeal, the
leading provider of pricing, charging and rating solutions
for online and mobile services , confirms
its strategy centered on strong technical partnerships in order
to provide integrated solutions and thus strengthens its leading
position in the rating market.
This strategy is being rolled out in the
following two ways:
• OEM
agreements with leading network equipment providers.
To
increase ARPU mobile operators need to get customers to make
the move to mobile data services such as MMS, M2M, Push to
Talk or Internet Browsing. Recognizing this need, major network
equipment providers (NEPs) have signed OEM agreements for Highdeal
Transactive ® . The solution offers unparalleled pricing
flexibility for both customer pricing and partner settlement,
and ensures continuous real-time operation combined with high-performance .
The first partnership signed in May 2002 for the MMS platform
of a NEP has led to over 50 implementations in mobile operators
in 20 countries and confirms Highdeal leadership mobile data
rating.
• Integrated
solutions for the business and residential broadband market.
Highdeal continues
to reinforce its technical partnerships in order to offer integrated
solutions. This was initiated in the beginning of the year with
a Revenue Assurance solution launched with Steleus and Sun Microsystems.
Further proof
of this strategy is the participation of Highdeal in the IPlay3
consortium that offers Triple Play services for the US residential
market. With NetCentrex™ , the leading enabler
of converged voice-video-data networks and next-generation services
and Envivio , a leading provider of MPEG-4
and H.264 broadcast and streaming solutions, Highdeal targets
IP service providers who wish to move towards new voice and video
services on top of traditional high speed internet bandwidth.
Another
successful solution is an integrated platform that combines the
NetCentrex MyCall ® residential IP communications solution
and the Highdeal Transactive pricing, rating, settlement and
billing system. It allows operators to rapidly get to market
with attractively priced bundles of IP services.
Highdeal
has also recently announced a new alliance with Connectiva Systems,
a leading provider of revenue assurance and adaptive integration
software to address a range of critical business processes.
These solution partnerships
have already led to a number of new contracts in the United States,
Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Highdeal
technology dominates the rating market
Highdeal designed
its rating technology in order to enable providers of online
and mobile applications and services to win market share and
increase their margins by launching new services with flexible,
