Helping to support the billing systems will be Inter-mediatE, the market leading convergent mediation platform, that will enable Nitel to gain full control over the data records being processed by gathering network usage data and then validating, filtering and checking the data before distribution to other systems. Intec’s Inter-activatE solution has been selected by Nitel to automate the process of activating services and special features, including long distance, Voice Mail, and Call Waiting, more efficiently. Inter-activatE will also free Nitel’s switch technicians to allow them to perform more mission critical tasks and help to improve the company’s overall operational efficiency.

Intec wins multi-million dollar software deal in Nigeria with Nitel

$4 million deal includes four major Intec products

March 10, 2004 -- London: Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of operations support systems (OSS) for telecommunications companies, is pleased to announce it has signed a multiple software product deal with Nitel, the government-owned telecommunications company of Nigeria. The agreement, which was made possible with the help of Intec’s local Nigerian partner Traffic Network Services Limited (TNSL), is valued at over US$4 million and includes the purchase of Intec’s InterconnecT™, InterconnecT ITU™, Inter-mediatE™, and Inter-activatE™ solutions. Together these software platforms will automate Nitel’s service-provisioning processes and provide regional and global intercarrier billing and mediation support as the company expands its network operations across the country.

Intec’s success in Nigeria’s telecommunications market began in October 2003 when it signed a software deal with Nitel’s GSM subsidiary Mobile Telecoms Ltd (M-Tel). “As Africa’s most populous, but also most under-subscribed telecoms market, Nigeria offers us tremendous opportunities to grow our business,” explains Dave Baker, regional director of Intec’s Southern Africa operations. “In just two years Nigeria's phone market has enjoyed unprecedented growth due to the increase in mobile subscribers and the demand for affordable services. Nitel must accommodate this demand by supporting the interconnect agreements that make it possible for the operator to charge mobile companies for using its network and services. Intec will play a role in this historic growth by providing the revenue-optimising solutions Nitel requires to perform this task while it expand its operations and makes a substantial impact on the country’s overall economy.”

“Our deal with Nitel is strategically important to us in West Africa, and provides further testimony of our strength in the mediation, interconnection and service activation software market,” said Kevin Adams, Intec’s CEO. “As the biggest and most influential telecommunications company in Nigeria, Nitel's approval for our products is a strong endorsement for Intec. With our solutions Nitel will generate additional revenue streams through fast and accurate usage collection, mediation, billing and service activation. The installation of InterconnecT ITU will also provide the necessary global settlement support Nitel requires to expand the scope of its business to include more international partnerships.”
