MTN, Africa’s leading wireless operator
New billing system will support over 7.7 million pre- and
post-paid subscribers in South Africa
28 February 2005, London: Intec Telecom Systems, a
leading OSS software vendor for fixed, mobile and
next-generation networks, has signed a contract worth around $15
million with South Africa-based MTN, for a new customer billing
system using Intec’s Singl.eView software. The new system will
handle billing for MTN’s South Africa operation, which has over
7.7 million pre- and post-paid subscribers.
“This is a key project for MTN that will support our very high
growth rates, provide a superior customer billing experience,
and reduce our cost of technology ownership,” said MTN SA’s
Billing Programme Director, Megan Ashman. “We chose Singl.eView
as our new strategic billing platform for its outstanding
technology and as a result of Intec’s long-term presence,
commitment and investment in Africa.”
MTN and Intec have started work immediately on the
implementation of Singl.eView, with Intec providing support and
services through its substantial South Africa office. Intec
currently employs over 120 people in Africa, developing new
products and supporting many of Africa’s best-known fixed and
wireless carriers..
