Portuguese operator uses Inifys rating system for video telephony
3G initiatives supported include downloads of key matches and highlights from European Football's Euro2004
Convergys Corporation, the global leader in integrated billing, employee care, and customer care services, announced today that TMN (Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais) is using Convergys' Infinys software to support the rollout of 3G
services in Portugal. TMN, the leading mobile operator in Portugal, is the first carrier to bring video telephony services to Portugal. TMN is using the flexibility and advanced functionality of the Infinys application for rating, Geneva, to help drive its growing range of 3G services and bring attractive packages to market quickly.
TMN’s recent launch of 3G services reflects the company’s long history as an innovator and pioneer in the Portuguese telecommunications market. With five million subscribers, the company offers a diverse range of services, with 3G initiatives including video telephony and a new 3G portal, which allows broadband access to advanced content, video and multimedia services.
TMN’s 3G subscribers will be able to download videos and key highlights from UEFA Euro2004, this year’s major European football championship tournament being held in Portugal.
“The market for content-rich, next-generation services represents a major opportunity for us to grow revenues and enhance ARPU (average revenue per user). This is something we are committed to and something that Convergys' Infinys software is already helping us to achieve,” said Eugénio Alves da Silva, IT Director, TMN. “Infinys’ ease of configuration, highly-flexible pricing, and revenue distribution capabilities enable us to both win market share quickly and drive our 3G operation over the long-term.”
“Through this contract with TMN, Convergys will be supporting a major 3G rollout program by one of Europe’s premier operators," said Jean-Hervé Jenn, President of Convergys' Information Management Group for EMEA. “The ability to launch new services quickly and ensure that they are
attractively packaged is vital in today’s markets, particularly in the 3G space, where rapid penetration is essential. As well as supporting TMN’s initial rollout, Convergys will support TMN’s continual refinement and differentiation of its portfolio to sustain its preeminent position in the market.“
