MIND CTI Announces MINDBill 7: The Genuine All-in-One Platform for Prepaid and Postpaid Billing
| Source: MIND CTI Ltd.
YOQNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - February 3, 2010) - MIND C.T.I. LTD. (NASDAQ : MNDO ), a leading
provider of convergent end-to-end billing and customer care product based
solutions for service providers as well as telecom expense management (call
accounting) solutions, today announced its release of MINDBill version 7.
Monica Eisinger, Chairperson and CEO, commented: "We believe that we see
signs of market improvement as we encounter increased interest in our range
of solutions, from new prospects as well as our existing customer base. We
continue to invest in enhancing our solutions with new functionality, such
as the IN prepaid described below. Most of the enquiries now include
support for prepaid enabled services. We have already completed our first
deployment and go live of our first prepaid IN customer."
MINDBill 7, a true convergent end-to-end billing and customer care solution
for the prepaid / postpaid mobile and wireline market segments includes the
newly developed prepaid IN module. MINDBill Prepaid IN complements
MINDBill's existing prepaid offering for VOIP, Broadband and WiMAX,
presenting a true Quad Play solution. The Multiple Services Credit Control
feature provides the real time quota allocation that enables the
simultaneous usage of a number of services through different protocols
(e.g. CAMEL, WIN/IS-826, RADIUS, Diameter, GTP', SIP, HTTP, TCP/IP, LDAP),
while monitoring the consumption of a single account balance or a service
wallet to avoid revenue leakage. This feature is a key differentiator that
also allows full prepaid mobile roaming, in case some services are not
supported by the used version of the IN protocol. In this case, MINDBill
Prepaid IN connects directly to the relevant network elements (e.g. GGSN,
SMSC, MMSC, Content) through their distinct AAA protocols, in parallel to
the IN signaling control done for basic services like Voice and Mobile
Originating SMS.
MINDBill allows true convergence of prepaid and postpaid services under the
same account. The same rate plan may be used for both prepaid and postpaid
as rating and charging are done by the same engine. The full richness of
postpaid features and capabilities is available in real-time for prepaid
services, including: multi-dimensional rating parameterized using a very
user friendly GUI, distinguishing air and toll usage; rating intervals:
stepped or tiered (dropping rates), configurable discounts, free unit
bundles, taxation, recurring and one time charges and many more.
MINDBill Prepaid IN enables the account balance recharge with all payment
modes and voucher models, introducing new customer self care facilities:
IVR and USSD interfaces for balance inquiry, voucher insertions and credit
card top up, complementing the existing Web Self Care and rich set of Web
Services for 3rd party application integrations.
Doron Segal, CTO and VP Engineering, commented: "MINDBill is a genuine
convergent prepaid and postpaid services platform that supports a single
front end customer care interface, incorporates the benefit of an integral
comprehensive point-of-sale solution with modules for cashier and inventory
management and introduces a wide set of BI capabilities. MINDBill Prepaid
IN supports all versions of commercially used IN protocols -- CAMEL 2, 3
and 4 for GSM and IS-826 for CDMA. It is highly available and scalable from
a few thousands to millions of prepaid subscribers."
