KMC Telecom selects Intec for mediation and revenue
assurance solution
Largest privately held US telco to use market-leading
Inter-mediatE solution
8 September 2004 – Intec Telecom Systems, a global
provider of Operations Support Systems (OSS) for fixed,
wireless, and IP/next generation networks, today announced a
contract with US based KMC Telecom for the license of Intec’s
market-leading convergent mediation solution, Inter-mediatE. KMC,
the largest, privately held US telecom operator, selected
Intec’s Inter-mediatE solution and associated modules to provide
mediation and revenue assurance for its CLEC business line.
An operator’s mediation solution plays a pivotal role in revenue
assurance. Operators need a robust platform in place that can
capture usage data from diverse network elements, correctly
correlate that data, provide automated error processing, and
offer integrated audit capabilities. Intec’s Inter-mediatE
solution provides ample return on investment from its
consolidation of multiple systems for data collection,
mediation, and distribution, and the human and system resources
required to manage those same processes. Its robust error
processing eases the process of analysis and recovery via “edit
& release” capabilities, while its flexible reporting can be
used to identify trends or usage absence based on any of a
number of variables.
“KMC joins a long list of operators that have realised that
their existing mediation systems may be a prime source of
potential revenue leakage. The adoption of a robust mediation
solution that minimizes errors in the first place and then
automates and streamlines error processing can have an immediate
affect on the operator’s bottom line, especially when coupled
with strong reporting and auditing capabilities,” said Fred
Brott, president of Intec North America.
Because of its exceptional total cost of ownership, existing
users of Inter-mediatE are preparing for migration to
Inter-mediatE v5. Along with KMC, two leading RBOCs are already
utilizing Inter-mediatE v5, assuring the revenue derived from
their networks and streamlining their network processing.
