Vimpelcom Uses WeDo's OSS

PARIS -- WeDo Soft, a leading provider of software solutions for the communications & media markets, announces a new three-party contract with Accenture, to implement its Revenue Assurance solution (RAID) at VimpelCom (Beeline), the 2nd largest mobile operator in Russia. WeDo Soft's RAID solution has been configured to meet the specific requirements of this major and fast-growing mobile operator (31.2 million subscribers as of April 14, 2005).

RAID is a complete end-to-end Revenue Assurance solution, enabling VimpelCom to implement automated and integrated Revenue Assurance control processes. The RAID-solution addresses VimpelCom's requirements in maintaining the consistency and coherency between their entire BSS, OSS and network systems and, therefore, allows VimpelCom to rigorously control revenue leakage and improve profitability. The benefits that RAID is delivering to its strong customer base worldwide make it a leading solution for Revenue Assurance.

Accenture, an experienced partner of WeDo, has worked together with VimpelCom to implement RAID by delivering expert consultancy and project management services. Accenture's expertise and qualified staff contributed significantly to facilitate the seamless RAID project installation in only 3 months.

"We have been working with our own Revenue Assurance processes and home made tools for the past two years. Despite the good results achieved we knew that automatic reconciliation of CDRs from switch to bill would be crucial for further revenue improvement initiatives. We chose the RAID solution by WeDo following a careful evaluation process of its comprehensive state-of-the-art technology, high performance and flexibility" stated Leonid Khokhlov, Revenue Assurance project manager at VimpelCom. "By using RAID, we are now able to systematically process CDR's and to efficiently monitor our revenue streams. We are convinced that the combined expertise of WeDo and Accenture will ensure RAID's success for VimpleCom."

Miguel Lopes, Regional Account Manager of WeDo Soft added, "We are proud that our proven RA solution, RAID, has been selected by such a prominent operator in the rapidly growing Russian market. Due to its performance, scalability and flexibility we are sure that RAID will help VimpelCom meet all their needs and requirements in the area of Revenue Assurance. The selection of RAID by VimpelCom sets another example of telecom operators' preference for, and confidence in, WeDo's RAID-solution.
