B3G Telecom Chooses Highdeal Transactive® for Rating and
Billing Services
Highdeal Transactive™ to
support B3G Telecom enterprise services for operators
Paris and New York – April 19,
2005 - Highdeal, the leader in rating for mobile, multimedia
and IP services announced today its latest Highdeal Transactive
rollout with leading European Broadband Telephony operator, B3G
Telecom. The IP Telephony specialist serves Tier One operators
with its wholesale offering as well as enterprises through a
one tier distribution model.
In response to the market’s demand
for robust enterprise services, B3G Telecom is rolling out a
turnkey IP telephony solution, which comes complete with an IP
Centrex solution integrating all the functionality of the traditional
PABX with convergent IT and telephony functionality. It is also
introducing a made-to-measure convergent voice and data service
for multi-site enterprises (e.g. high speed Internet, IP-VPN,
remote workers and mobile).
B3G Telecom required a flexible pricing,
rating and billing solution capable of converging both voice
and data services for fixed and mobile services. Highdeal was
selected due to its unique patented rating engine, which enables
customers to price and bill for customized service offerings
from a single platform; allowing them to easily automate pricing
policies and calculate usage and billing. Highdeal’s low
total cost of ownership, ease of management launching new and
varied offers to targeted customer segments was a key selling
point.
Patrice Giami, President and General Manager
for B3G Telecom explained: “Highdeal
Transactive was a natural choice. Highdeal’s technology
is designed to handle the complexities often associated with
new services, in particular the convergence of fixed to mobile,
voice and data services. Thanks to Highdeal Transactive we can
now offer a comprehensive solution adapted to our customers’ needs,
providing them with billing capabilities for third parties.”
Highdeal Transactive’s easy to use,
intuitive graphical interface for price plan creation enables
new offers to be rapidly introduced on average in less than one
week, thereby optimising return on investment and ultimately
increasing operator ARPU. Highdeal’s flexible, modular
architecture and key functionality significantly decreases deployment
times, whether integrating to existing legacy systems or delivering
an end-to-end solution.

delighted to work with B3G Telecom. The market is fast evolving
