Sisteer
integrates Highdeal's pricing tool to its offering for telecommunications providers
and signs contracts with leading MVNOs
Paris (France), 17 January 2008 - Sisteer, an expert provider and integrator of rating and billing services for fixed and mobile telecommunications, has chosen Highdeal’s
software suite for integration to its own eBilling solution. This collaboration has already won a major success, with the solution being selected by Virgin Mobile, a leading mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).
Since 2006, Sisteer and Highdeal have
been collaborating to build software bricks around Sisteer’s pricing and rating engine in order to expand the scope of their respective offerings. Through this collaboration, Sisteer now has a unique billing platform, based on technology that brings a lot of flexibility to fixed—including VoIP—and
mobile service providers, who can in turn better manage their price offerings.
Thus, Virgin Mobile now
has a complete, flexible and robust billing platform for its postpaid offering,
operated by Sisteer and including Highdeal’s pricing capabilities.
Highdeal and Sisteer - a strong and promising partnership
Highdeal and Sisteer formalized their partnership in 2003 when they responded jointly to a call for tender by a telecommunications provider in France (The Phone House).
However, when Sisteer’s current founders Alain Bureau and Xavier Grimaldi
first started their business at the end of 2002, they already identified Highdeal
as the perfect partner for their business development.
Sisteer
was then looking for a cost-effective yet scalable pricing and billing solution,
which could be easily interfaced to Sisteer’s powerful bus and workflow engine. They were rapidly convinced by the high performance of the Highdeal Transactive® solution as well as Highdeal staff’s
listening ability and adaptability. Implemented on top of the Highdeal solution,
this bus provides an easy interface to any external application (such as CRM)
or network component, with a high degree of reproducibility. In this configuration,
the Highdeal solution fits easily
and consistently into the information system.
This comprehensive solution is already in production and part of a number of current offerings.
“Highdeal
has allowed us to expand the scope of our offering and to now have a comprehensive
and long-lasting solution for fixed and mobile operators,” said Alain Bureau, CEO of Sisteer. “We use
the Highdeal solution in a wide range of customer environments and we always
appreciate its high performance and operating flexibility.”
Highdeal
and Sisteer are already looking to the future and currently reworking Sisteer’s
marketing offering to add new software bricks, such as mediation, resource management
(for SIM cards), roaming, CRM, etc.
“We are now working to evolve from our current postpaid offering to prepaid and converged services. Highdeal’s virtually unlimited real-time rating capacity will help us provide our existing and prospective customers with a wider range of services very soon, which is a huge benefit for us,” added Alain Bureau.
