Intec Upgrades Its OSS

LONDON and WARSAW -- Intec, a global leader of business and operations support systems (BSS/OSS) for fixed, wireless and next generation networks, today announced a new contract deal with existing customer Exatel, one of the biggest providers of communications services in Poland. Under the terms of the agreement Exatel will upgrade to the latest versions of Intec’s market leading Mediation and Interconnect billing solutions.

Combined, these technologies will help support the Company’s plans to expand its residential and business customer base by offering Exatel an advanced settlement platform for managing various intercarrier agreements with Polish and foreign operators and billing them accurately and cost-effectively for using Exatel’s network to support incoming and outgoing calls.

Exatel will upgrade to Interconnect 7.1, the newest version of Intec’s award winning intercarrier billing software. The system will enable Exatel to automatically produce operator statements for outgoing calls to interconnect partners and to reconcile invoices for incoming calls, giving Exatel full visibility of costs, revenues and margins across all lines of business. Interconnect 7.1 will be supported by the latest version of Intec Mediation, a powerful fully convergent, multi-service technology that will provide improved reporting, analysis and warehousing tools to help Exatel collect and process usage information from all types of networks for billing from its expansive network.

“This agreement is a significant step forward in Exatel’s plan to expand into Poland’s mainstream market and to increase our presence in the consumer sector, while capitalising on our strong position as a service provider in the business market by targeting smaller businesses,” explains Pawel Olech, Vice President of Exatel.

“Intec’s Interconnect and Mediation solutions will help us to establish solid interconnect agreements with our telecommunications service partners and to enable us to bill for all services supported across our vast network. Furthermore, Intec’s Polish office will help ensure that Exatel benefit from a local customer service and support team. We are confident that the project will be completed smoothly and efficiently and that we will experience excellent business results the moment that Intec’s technology is running across our network.”
