leading provider of pricing, rating and charging solutions
today announces that Budget Telecom, a prosperous low-cost
telecommunications provider has selected Highdeal to price
and rate its new VoIP services. In a second phase, Highdeal
will replace Budget Telecom’s existing pricing and rating
infrastructure for all other IP services as well as future

Budget Telecom provides a variety of
low-cost telephony and broadband services, including VoIP,

Highdeal Transactive® will enable Budget Telecom’s
marketing teams to quickly launch more sophisticated offers
whilst handling the significant volumes of transactions generated
by their ever-expanding customer base.
The ease of integration that Highdeal
Transactive® provides has been vital to the deployment.
It is currently being integrated within Budget Telecoms extensive
information system which includes a CRM system, a 100% portal
based subscription service for automatic online provisioning
and a complex mediation solution which is connected to a host
of Budget Telecom partners.
“We
carried out an extensive evaluation process and considered
eleven other billing providers. We chose Highdeal Transactive
as it fulfilled our three main criteria: performance and scalability
for rating large volumes of transactions, ease of integration
within our extensive information system and the ability to
provide complete flexibility to our marketing teams for launching
lucrative new offers.” Christophe Bourrier, IT
Director, Budget Telecom.
“We
are thrilled to be providing Budget Telecom with our pricing
and rating solution. The impressive footprint and breadth
of services and customers that they have achieved in such
a short space of time is remarkable and we look forward to
developing our relationship with Budget Telecom in the future.”
