NRJ and Euro-Information select
Highdeal to power mobile telephony services across Europe
Highdeal provides a pricing, rating and billing solution for
Europe’s latest MVNO venture - NRJ Mobile
Paris, 20
January 2006 – One of Europe’s leading
radio groups, NRJ, and its investment partner Euro-Information,
Groupe Crédit-Mutuel CIC, today announced that market
leading pricing and rating specialist, Highdeal, has been chosen
to power its new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) venture
- NRJ Mobile®. The service was launched at the end of 2005
and is the first MVNO in Europe to provide 3G enabled services.
Highdeal’s robust pricing and rating solution – Highdeal
Transactive® - enables NRJ to offer an extensive range of
both services by using a portal to propose a variety of tariffs
and packages. For instance, these services include one SMS free
with every call made, different price plans to match the quality
of games downloaded and packages that last for either a month
or for just 24 hours.
With Highdeal, NRJ will have the capability to easily price,
rate and create new, innovative price plans and flexible commercial
offerings, and manage its entire operator value chain seamlessly.
NRJ Mobile and Euro-Information required a solution that enabled
them to rapidly create and modify offers in order to reach their
specific market segments as well as a platform to handle payments
for third parties, such as Feel London, a radio partner in the
UK. It was particularly important to NRJ that the solution could
easily integrate into its existing IT system.
“Highdeal
Transactive, which had initially been chosen by Euro-Information,
convinced us of the system’s inherent
capabilities for handling next generation services. As a pure
MVNO it’s essential that we can be reactive and quickly
introduce innovative services and price plans for our customers
both now and in the future. By choosing Highdeal Transactive,
we have complete control over the back office and the pricing,
rating and billing functions,” explains Jerome
Birba, Director of the NRJ Mobile Project.
“We
are very pleased to have been chosen by Euro-Information and
support NRJ in their
diversification strategy. We see real
potential in the MVNO market and the intrinsic capabilities of
our product are ideal. Highdeal’s ability to rapidly deploy
a flexible solution, while billing and managing the entire value
chain is key to this market,” said Eric
Lavenir, Vice President Sales EMEA from Highdeal.
