Intec, a global provider of business and operations support systems, has today announced that it has deployed three significant billing installations with VimpelCom subsidiaries operating in Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Armenia; Ukrainian Radio Systems (CJSC), Unitel in Uzbekistan and ArmenTel in Armenia.
Last year, Intec signed a strategic group license agreement with VimpelCom, Russia's leading GSM communications provider. The agreement increased Intec's position as the number one supplier of intercarrier billing solutions in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The VimpelCom Group serves 240 million subscribers, making it one of the most important wireless providers in the world. Geographically, it covers 78 regions of Russia with 136.5 million people, representing 94% of Russia's population. Aside from Russia, VimpelCom offers mobile services in Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Georgia.
Gary Bunney, Intec COO commented, "No other technology offers the same level of capability and scalability in interconnect billing as ours, giving these key VimpelCom subsidiaries the ability they require to optimise every opportunity to expand their business. Best of all, Intec Interconnect is a future-proof system with the flexibility to handle any type of traffic, from simple voice calls to advanced next generation services. This ensures that Unitel, ArmenTel and Ukrainian Radio Systems, all three their respective market leaders, will be prepared to manage any type of new innovation that comes to market. These successful installations provide further proof of the effectiveness of our solutions, and enable us to create a stronger presence in one of the biggest mobile markets in Eastern Europe. "
"Intec has established a reputation for delivering solutions that are in a class of their own. They offer superior flexibility and scalability to adjust to the billing demands of today's mobile providers" concluded Evgeny Saburov, Head of Intercarrier Traffic and Billing for VimpelCom. "It was easy to implement Intec Interconnect across our network, the cost was minimal and the solution has already proven its reliability and performance. Thanks to Intec's software, we now have close to 100 % accuracy in our intercarrier billing operations, which is already delivering us incremental revenue."
