Comverse Solutions Power 4G Business Transformation at The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Ltd. (BTC)
February 21 2013 - 8:00AM
Comverse (Nasdaq:CNSI) announced today that Bahamas
Telecommunications Company Ltd. (BTC), a leading provider of
multi-play services in the Bahamas and a subsidiary of Cable &
Wireless Communications PLC, has successfully deployed the Comverse
ONE® Real-Time Billing & Active Customer Management solution to
support its business transformation and optimize its new 4G
infrastructure for new service enablement and monetization,
together with Comverse SMSC and USSD services.
With a single service-agnostic product catalog to accelerate
time to market of new offers and promotions, Comverse ONE will help
ensure that BTC maintains its leadership position when the Bahamas
market gets deregulated. Advanced real-time capabilities support
targeted marketing, improved segmentation and an enhanced,
personalized customer experience. With Comverse ONE, BTC will be
able to sustain competitive differentiation with an ability to
seamlessly move towards convergence, in line with the C&W
group's strategic vision.
In conjunction, BTC added new value to key network assets by
introducing Comverse SMS and USSD (Unstructured Supplementary
Service Data) solutions to power an array of innovative
capabilities such as prepaid data services activation over USSD to
enhance the user experience and ease of ordering new services.
"We chose Comverse for this major business transformation
because of the breadth of their portfolio and the proven
performance of their products and service throughout the
longstanding partnership between Comverse and the LIME group within
Cable & Wireless," said Marlon Johnson, Sr. Vice President for
Marketing & Communications at BTC. "Highly attuned to our
vision to provide an exceptional user experience, Comverse's
solutions make the most of our new 4G network's powerful
capabilities – differentiating our service, and giving us a
competitive edge as we prepare to adopt new connected business
models."
"The entire prepaid customer base was migrated to Comverse
within just a few quick hours, a rapidity that foreshadowed the
speed and agility gained by the operator. BTC now launches
promotions in a single day – just a small fraction of the time it
used to take them," said Raman Abrol, Managing Director, Caribbean
and Latin America at Comverse, the global leader in telecom
business enablement through service innovation and smart
monetization provided by a rich portfolio of BSS, Mobile Internet,
Value Added Services, IP Communications and Professional
Services.
"The synergies, agility and operational efficiencies that BTC
gains by adopting BSS, mobile Internet and value-added services
from Comverse's comprehensive portfolio unleash the value of their
network, giving BTC a significant competitive edge."
