Cellcom Israel upgrades to ECtel's new revenue assurance platform
2008-10-28 13:51:29
Rosh
Ha'ayin, Israel. 28 October,
2008. ECtel Ltd, a leading provider of Integrated Revenue
Management™ (IRM™) solutions for communications service providers, announced
today that Cellcom Israel Ltd. (NYSE:CEL), Israel’s largest cellular operator,
has chosen to upgrade its revenue assurance system to ECtel’s new integrated revenue
assurance platform (RAP).
The order strengthens
the companies’ long-standing relationship as Cellcom Israel
has consistently chosen ECtel over the years. “As
Israel’s largest cellular operator, with over three million subscribers, it is
essential to keep updating an effective revenue assurance solution as well as an
all-around answer to the increased threat of revenue leakages”, said Erez
Shalom, the Research and BI department manager of Cellcom Israel.
“After the substantial success of the
previous RAP platform in combating revenue leakages, we are anticipating the
installation of the newer and even more advanced platform in the coming
weeks.”
RAP,
ECtel’s automated and configurable revenue assurance platform, facilitates
cost-effective RA processes and reportedly provides operators with rapid resolution of
critical revenue leakages in wireline, wireless, convergent and next-generation
networks. RAP is the market’s most flexible
revenue assurance offering, enabling both immediate deployment and gradual
expansion over time. The automated system allows non-technical business users to
easily build, revise and add controls and key performance indicators (KPIs).
Through its top-down viewing approach, RAP enables users to rapidly
locate risk points, validate RA processes, prioritise repair actions and fix
leakages.
“The fact that Cellcom
Israel chose to upgrade its existing RAP product framework of ECtel solutions
with RAP version 5 demonstrates the competitive advantage and tangible benefits
that ECtel’s integrated solutions provide,” said Mr Itzik Weinstein, president
and CEO of ECtel. “Our products continue to provide Cellcom Israel and many
other leading operators worldwide with top-of-the-line solutions necessary to
efficiently and competitively run businesses in today’s market
environment.”
