| JISP Convergent Billing Wins Telecom Billing Contract in Alliance with Somera |
| (Ahmedabad, India. 21st September 2005) |
| |
Convergent billing solution, JISP, a strong IP billing provider, has won a CDMA voice and data billing project. The project is in partnership with global systems integrator and provider of telecom equipment lifecycle management services, Somera Communications Inc. of the United States. |
| |
| JISP will offer its complete billing and customer care solution to SA Telecom – CDMA service provider in Bangladesh. With liberalization, the Bangladesh telecom market has seen plenty of action with the entry of multiple private players. |
| |
| “We have until recently been very strong players in IP billing,” says Nikhil Jain, President and Chief Operating Officer of Elitecore Technologies, providers of JISP. “The SA Tel project marks our entry into convergent telecom billing. We are moving rapidly into triple play convergent billing with projects being finalized in the Asia-Pacific, Middle-east and African regions.” |
| |
JISP holds a 90 per cent market share of the Indian pre-paid dial-up billing market and over 35 per cent of the post-paid dial-up market. Elitecore supports a subscriber base of over 3 million end-customers through leading telecom players like Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Mahangar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), Reliance, Bharti, Hathway and more. |
| |
| “Our technology alliance with Somera has carried JISP along with Somera’s end-to-end integration services to SA Tel,” says Niladri Datta, Vice President Worldwide Sales and Sales Operations of Elitecore Technologies. “We look forward to working closely with Somera, our top priority being to offer an exceptional customer experience. Speed in implementation, accurate and flexible billing are the key to achieving this goal.” |
| |
| Somera has been making rapid strides into the Asian region with its lifecycle management services which include implementation, repair, maintenance and digital asset management. “The core competence of any service operator is customer acquisition and management. With the availability of multiple service operators, interface and experience with the operator become the key discerning factors for the consumer in choosing and continuing with a service operator. Billing and Customer Care is one key lifeline interface for operators trying to gain a foothold in the market,” says Sanjay Vidyarthi, MD – Somera-Asia-pacific. |
| |
| “As part of Somera’s scope of sourcing and deploying turnkey network for SA Telecom, we chose JISP, as it provided the most comprehensive and end-to-end Billing and Customer Care solution for all that is needed to roll out a greenfield network, facilitating an error-free service launch for SA Tel. We are confident that Elitecore will ensure rapid and cost-effective implementation and maintenance,” adds Vidyarthi. |
| |
| Elitecore and Somera will be offering ongoing support and maintenance services once implementation is complete. The project includes billing, customer care, real-time rating, service provisioning and mediation, empowering SA Tel to offer innovative voice and data services rapidly to both its pre-paid and post-paid customers. |
| |
“With JISP’s multi-tier architecture and real-time nature, SA Tel will be able to rapidly launch and modify its offerings in the market place, bringing great flexibility and dynamism to its offerings. It can reduce cost of operations, enhance revenues faster and increase customer satisfaction,” adds Dutta. |
