Transactive® for
pricing and rating of VoIP services
Altitude Telecom reduces cost of business IP services launch
thanks to Highdeal
Paris, January
2006 – Highdeal, the leader in pricing
and rating for IP and mobile services today announced that Altitude
Telecom, specialist provider of IP solutions and a global provider
of telecommunications services has selected Highdeal Transactive® to
price and rate its business IP services.
Altitude Telecom has over 5,000 business customers, a vast majority
of which are large multi-site accounts to which they provide
IP/MPLS VPN services, interconnections to LAN networks, Internet
access, hosting and VoIP services, using both fixed and wireless
technologies.
Altitude Telecom required a future-proof,
flexible pricing and rating solution for its VoIP services,
as well as a service that
could easily integrate into their existing billing system and
connect to the existing customer back office. Highdeal was able
to meet these requirements in an initial testing phase and its
flexibility and fast time to market for price plans were key
reasons why Altitude Telecom selected Highdeal Transactive®.
The modular architecture of Highdeal Transactive, based on Java/XML
enables rapid integration with Sage software, provides Altitude
Telecom with easy to manage pricing and rating and unconstrained
flexibility for the personalization of offers.
Altitude Telecom also required a
software solution suited to the needs of VoIP with the technical
capabilities to integrate
to the IP telephony platform Cirpack, their chosen VoIP infrastructure
provider. Highdeal Transactive works alongside the soft switches
from Cirpack, who manage Altitude Telecom’s infrastructure,
VoIP calls from subscribers and long distance calls with other
VoIP operators.
“Highdeal
Transactive was a natural choice as the software has been designed
to handle the complexities of new services such
as VoIP. The graphical interface for price plan creation
is extremely intuitive and enables us to quickly introduce
new
offers, on average within just one week. As a result we have
been able to reduce the costs of launching new offers and
can also manage them more easily. The versatility of Highdeal
Transactive
will also enable us to utilise it to introduce any new services
in the future,” comments Dorothée Lebarbier of
Altitude Telecom. “It
is increasingly apparent that services, whether fixed
or mobile, are evolving into an all IP universe. Highdeal is
enabling operators to migrate step by step. The rating engine
is an essential component for Altitude Telecom, enabling them
to price and rate for a range of services such as voice, data,
content for both prepaid and postpaid services, all from a single
software platform.” said Eric
Lavenir, Vice President Sales EMEA, Highdeal.
