Intec Telecom Systems wins key Vodafone UK contract
* Technology, quality and vendor stability key to winning major deal
* Replacement of in-house solution anticipates next-generation needs
London, 29 October 2001 - Intec Telecom Systems PLC, a leading global vendor
of telecoms Operations Support Systems, has won a substantial contract with
Vodafone UK. Intec will provide Vodafone UK with its InterconnecT billing
technology, replacing an in-house solution.
Vodafone UK chose InterconnecT from Intec after a detailed evaluation of all
major market offerings, citing the reliability, functionality and scalability
of the world's most successful intercarrier billing solution as key criteria.
Vodafone UK also evaluated company finances, support capability and quality
processes in its selection of InterconnecT. Vodafone UK will also use Intec's
InterconnecT PREP mediation technology as a front end to the billing system.
'Vodafone UK is a prestigious account to win,' says Intec CEO, Kevin Adams.
'Not surprisingly, competition for this key UK account was strong, and we are
very pleased to have won it.'
InterconnecT is the world's most successful intercarrier billing system, with
over 100 installations worldwide. InterconnecT supports all types of networks,
including fixed, mobile, IP and next-generation technologies, with product
variants available for normal, ITU-based or US CABS intercarrier billing.
