Telefónica Selects Intec

LONDON and PRAGUE, Czech Republic -- Intec, a global provider of business and operations support systems (BSS/OSS) for fixed, mobile and next generation network providers, announced today it has signed a million pound deal to supply Intec Interconnect v7 to Telefonica 02 Czech Republic, the largest provider of wireless voice and data services in the country. Intec’s market-leading billing solution is currently being installed on Telefonica 02’s network and will offer the operator enhanced billing support for its voice and next generation revenue streams, in addition to lower cost of ownership, faster time-to-market for new services, and improved network visibility.

“Intec has worked extensively in the Czech Republic, and thanks to an innovative technology and strong support team they now dominate the country’s interconnect billing market,” said Karel Strynk, Billing Manager from Telefonica 02 Czech Republic. “As a result of this experience, Intec has learned first hand about the challenges mobile operators face here as well as what they are looking for in a billing solution - namely an application which can manage and control much more complex product scenarios. It was therefore a straightforward decision for us to select Intec as our billing vendor of choice and we look forward to using Intec Interconnect v7 to gain seamless settlement support for our various customer services such as voice, data, content and MMS messaging.”

“Intec Interconnect v7 is at the heart of Telefonica 02’s new initiative for a faster, more seamless wireless network,” explains Iwona Golinska, Business Development Director, Central/Eastern Europe and Israel. “As the biggest operator in the country, Telefonica 02 has worked hard at gaining its market position through the delivery of advanced solutions that enhance the end-user experience. Interconnect v7 will help ensure that the operator maintains this lead by offering a way to not only deliver the latest wireless broadband services but also maximize the revenue possibilities of those services through effective intercarrier billing methods.”
