CAPE TOWN, South Africa,
November 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
AfricaCom 2012 | Booth E13 | FTS, a
global provider of billing, customer care and policy control
solutions for communications and content service providers, today
announced that Zimbabwe's TelOne
has successfully implemented its Leap Billing software, a
comprehensive end-to-end billing and customer care solution.
TelOne is Zimbabwe's national
telecommunications operator and provides a wide range of services
to its residential and business customers, including wireline
telephony, wireless, broadband and satellite communications.
TelOne's billing transformation project includes the
implementation of FTS' convergent billing and charging,
interconnect billing, invoicing, order management, customer
management, network management, mediation and more.
"Following the successful implementation of Leap Billing, we can
already see the benefits of the FTS' solution," said Hampton
Mhlanga, TelOne's CEO. "The flexibility of the system will enable
us to provide a richer offering to our customers through the rapid
implementation of new services, as well as immediate additional
sources of income from interconnect fees. The Leap Billing solution
will help us to increase our revenues and therefore it will provide
a rapid ROI. Moreover, we have seen first-hand that FTS is
genuinely committed to our market and we have no doubt that working
with FTS will take TelOne to the next generation of
telecommunication services."
"This is another great deployment for FTS, and one we believe
that will provide huge benefits to TelOne," said Nir Asulin, FTS' CEO. "The flexibility of the
Leap Billing platform will help TelOne create additional sources of
revenue, and with our on-going support and service, TelOne will be
able to further increase revenues over the coming years. This
project is testimony to FTS' steadfast commitment to this
fast-growing region, where we help operators across Africa to provide a wide range of advanced
telecommunication services to their growing customer base."
The flexibility of the Leap Billing platform means that new
packages and services can now be created at the speed of marketing
by TelOne. Other immediate benefits that Leap Billing brings to
TelOne include: providing customers with a single bill summarising
all the services they use from their subscription packages,
including fixed telephony, Internet and wireless; offering
subscribers a single point of contact for all their queries; and
through the FTS' Interconnect solution, ensuring accounting
accuracy of TelOne's growing roaming and interconnect revenues,
enabling TelOne to turn its interconnect and settlements policies
into a revenue stream, with an almost immediate return on
investment.
FTS has a proven track record in working with leading carriers
in Africa, and has seen its
telecom billing and policy control solutions implemented by many of
the region's fixed-line, mobile, broadband and WiMAX operators.
