.Intec secures billing contract with Bezeq, Israel’s
national telecommunications provider
10 February 2005, London: Intec Telecom Systems, a
leading OSS software vendor for fixed, mobile and
next-generation networks, has secured an important contract with
Bezeq, The Israel Telecommunication Corp., Limited. Intec will
supply Bezeq with both InterconnecT, its market leading
intercarrier billing system, and InterconnecT Automated
Reconciliation (AR). The deal was won in partnership with
DM3000, an Intec business partner based in Cesarea, Israel.
InterconnecT helps operators to maximise revenues and reduce
costs by generating statements and invoices for outgoing and
incoming call costs to interconnect partners. As the company
moves towards privatisation, the cost effectiveness of the
InterconnecT billing solution will provide crucial business
advantage for Bezeq by billing and settling all services from a
single platform, with full visibility of costs, revenues and
margins across all lines of business. InterconnecT AR is an
add-on module which greatly simplifies and accelerates the
complex and time-consuming problem of reconciling billing
disputes or inconsistencies between carrier partners.
Mr. Raz Heiferman, VP for Information Technology of Bezeq, said:
“Central to our search for an efficient billing system was a
desire to minimise inter-carrier discrepancies and streamline
the settlement process. By choosing InterconnecT, we will be
able to address this need, strengthening our position with other
carriers and making us more efficient.”
Bezeq, The Israel Telecommunication Corp., Limited
Bezeq is Israel’s national telecommunications provider.
Established in 1984, the company has led Israel into the new era
of communications, based on the most advanced technologies and
services. Bezeq and its subsidiaries offer the full range of
telecommunication services including domestic, international and
cellular phone services; Internet, ADSL, and other data
communications; leased lines, and corporate networks.
