MALMO, Sweden, May 9, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Teleca has been commissioned to supply a new payment solution to TeliaSonera (LSE:TLSNq) (Nasdaq:TLSN). The solution enables the creation of flexible and efficient pricing models and ensures the quality of the information on which the billing of services is based. The total order value is estimated to be over SEK 10 M.
Teleca will implement a Billing Mediation function in TeliaSonera's Operations Support System (OSS) that will make it possible to charge for services in new ways, for example, by making it possible to charge for the amount of data supplied, or for a particular type of information. The commission includes a 3-year maintenance contract.
"A good platform for mediation is essential for our business and the quality of our products," said Johan Luttu, head of Fastnat Utveckling (fixed network development) at TeliaSonera Sverige. "We know Teleca well from before and have chosen them as our integration partner because they have a great deal of experience in OSS combined with a local presence."
The solution is partly based on billing products from Teleca's product partner Digiquant: The system can be expanded to keep pace with increased capacity requirements as new services are added to the network.
"Our ambition is to be the supplier with the highest reputation among both mobile and fixed network operators in OSS services in the Nordic region. We're therefore very pleased we were able to win this important contract by proposing a solution that was completely in line with the customer's requirements," said Johan Strid, Managing Director at Teleca OSS AB.
