Manx Unifies Billing

LONDON -- XACCT Technologies, the leading provider of network data management platform for telecommunications service providers, today announced that Manx Telecom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMO2, has successfully migrated its entire wireline and wireless telephony network mediation to XACCT's Network-to-Business (N2B™) Platform. This Universal Network Data Management solution enables the operator to simplify the management and operations of billable services. Manx Telecom is Europe's first full-service communications service provider to offer such a broad range of services over their PSTN, GSM and now UMTS networks. MANX is recognized as one of the world's first fully operational 3G operators. It is also one of the first operators to give customers the option of integrating all of their services (fixed, wireless, voice and data service offerings) onto a single bill. XACCT's N2B software platform provides a real-time link between the network infrastructure - regardless of the transport medium or switching technology - and the back-office. With a unified view of the entire network, operators can now have an unprecedented understanding of how their customers are using the various services and leverage this information to create highly targeted value-based services to meet subscribers' needs."For a full-service operator it's vital to have a unified customer view that cuts across the different networks and services" said Anil Uberoi, senior vice president of marketing and business development at XACCT. "Customers, on the other hand, don't want to be inundated with multiple bills from the same operator. We are glad to be a part of the solution with a customer like MANX who has clearly proven to be a pioneer in addressing many of these issues." Xacct Technologies Inc.Manx Telecom Ltd.
