Highdeal & NetCentrex
announce 8 new contracts
Paris -
January 18, 2005 - Highdeal, the leading provider of
pricing, rating and settlement solutions for new IP and mobile
services, and NetCentrex™, the leading enabler of converged
voice-video-data networks and next-generation services, have
signed 8 new contracts, following an agreement to deliver a
joint solution enabling new IP services, signed at the end
of 2003.
This commercial offer brings together the
MyCall® Residential Communications Solution with the pricing,
rating and settlement software from Highdeal Transactive®.
This partnership was forged in response to the pre-paid and post-paid
requirements for IP services and delivers differentiated offers
for specific customer segments:
- A go-to-market solution for greenfield
service providers without network infrastructure, consisting
of the NetCentrex MyCall offer and the complete pricing and
billing suite from Highdeal, and pre-integrated access security
and service provisioning. A comprehensive consultancy service
is also included to assist new entrants, allowing them to concentrate
on their marketing packages and not on the technical considerations
which often delay the time to market.
- A modular, tailor-made solution for
Tier 1 and Tier 2 players who want to deliver IP services,
in response to new demand in their evolving markets, without
impacting their existing business processes and legacy provisioning
and billing systems. The flexibility of an add-on rating engine
with open API’s, ensures seamless integration to existing
systems.
8 new contracts
signed in 2004 for the launch of new Voice over IP services
world-wide:
- Six greenfields: two in Eastern Europe, two in the
Middle-East, one in Western Europe and one in North America
- A Tier 2 operator in Eastern Europe
- One of the largest global Internet Service Providers looking to complete
their portfolio with IP services

Highdeal and NetCentrex solution is perfectly aligned with
market demand, as confirmed by these eight new customers. With
the commercial success of this partnership in 2004, Highdeal
is reinforcing his position in the arena of pricing and rating
for new IP services.” Isabelle Roussin, Highdeal
