Benefits of Consolidation

"In a highly competitive marketplace requiring flexibility to respond quickly to customer and market changes, it has become essential for CTM to unify the multiple billing and rating systems that currently support our different capabilities and lines of business: prepaid/postpaid, fixed/mobile, broadband and enterprise services," said Rui Marcelo, Director of Information Technology, CTM. "While consolidation and professional services will benefit us with significant cost efficiencies, even more important is that it will enable us to deliver a greatly enhanced customer experience, giving our subscribers greater choice and control through accelerated introduction of innovative services and applications, cross-product synergies, unified billing for personalized plans and creative bundling, and more. Comverse, a global leader in both billing and communication convergence and a trusted partner for many years, was a natural choice."

"Comverse's rich portfolio of solutions and services and global marketing expertise are a perfect match for CTM's requirements to provide convergent policy-based charging, cross-bundling and more for its quad-play offering."
