Vodafone Sweden Picks Logica

LONDON -- Logica, the global solutions company, today announced that Vodafone Sweden has selected it to provide a next-generation customer care and billing (CC&B) solution to support their market leading next-generation mobile services. The solution will ultimately enable Vodafone Sweden to bill effectively for next-generation services such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). The operator's current system is not the optimal solution to bill for next-generation services. Logica will provide overall programme management, strategic consultancy, integration, delivery and implementation -- having full responsibility through the lifetime of the initiative. The online billing software is Portal Software's Infranet(R) platform. Spokesperson Anders B Ohlsson at Vodafone Sweden said: "This illustrates our commitment to retain our market-leading position by investing in this next-generation solution being implemented by Logica. "We selected Logica because it has a strong track record of delivering innovative customer care and billing solutions on time and to budget. We consider ourselves to have the highest standards of customer service, and therefore demand the same from our partners." Vodafone Group plc Logica
