Subex Azure, the global provider of Operations Support Systems (OSS) solutions for telecom operators, has announced that Telenor is deploying its Concilia Interconnect software to offer an internal interconnect bureau across the Telenor Group.
The deal further extends Subex Azure's relationship with the Telenor Group, as the company has previously deployed interconnect billing solutions for Telenor Networks and Telenor Mobil, and Telenor Global Services. This new agreement will enable Telenor to offer an Interconnect bureau service across its entire business worldwide with Telenor Global Services being the first internal customer.
Harry Moen, Manager Interconnect Operations at Telenor, said, "By offering the interconnect bureau across the whole Telenor Group we can provide a very cost-effective service and a high degree of standardisation. This will enable us to reduce costs and provide improved services to our internal customers and network partners."
Concilia Interconnect will provide Telenor with an easy-to-use and scaleable solution to manage interconnect data. Concilia enables operators to quickly and accurately settle interconnect agreements with their network partners and gives operators the ability to adapt to rate changes quickly, enabling them to manage costs and revenues much more effectively.
Knut Ingvar Eriksen, Director of Operations at Telenor Global Services said, "Subex Azure has been a trusted Interconnect billing partner of Telenor for a number of years. The bureau deployment will enable us to cost-effectively manage our interconnect processes and continue to be as accurate as possible with our billing."
Saul Nurtman, President EMEA at Subex Azure, said, "We are delighted to be extending our relationship with Telenor and this is a further endorsement of our credentials working with tier-1 operators worldwide. Effective interconnect billing is vital and our bureau is a proven solution for operators of all sizes."
