MTN, a leading telecommunications company with presence in 22 countries in
Africa and the Middle East, signed a multi-year agreement with Ericsson (NASDAQ:
ERIC) to implement, support and manage Ericsson's Order to Cash suite. This
solution enables MTN to standardize the customer experience of its products and
services in all the markets it is operational.
As part of the agreement, Ericsson will be responsible for the replacement of
all legacy infrastructure with its new Charging System, Ericsson Multi
Activation and Ericsson Multi Mediation across all MTN operations, enabling
customers to activate new services more efficiently and to better monitor their
data cost and usage. It will also enable MTN to respond more efficiently to
customer related complaints.
Ericsson will support, operate and manage this suite of products to ensure the
benefits are realized across all MTN operations. Ericsson's Managed Services
will allow for an agile launch of services, thus increasing MTN's capacity for
innovation and speed that are essential for a sustainable and successful
business differentiation.
Jyoti Desai, Group CTIO MTN said: The new Ericsson Charging System will enable a
host of new services like catalogue orchestrated charging, flexible refill and
community charging, among several other different voice and data offerings for
MTN's over 220 million prepaid customers. Multi Mediation supports the retrieval
and processing of user data from all network nodes, so that such data can be
made available to the relevant IT back-end systems and billed in real time.
Multi Activation provides MTN with fully automated real-time fulfillment
capabilities.
Seckin Arikan, Vice President and Head of Global Accounts MTN said: "Operators
need to be fast, flexible and in control to deliver great experiences to their
customers, operate efficiently and deliver innovative new offerings to stand out
in today's marketplace. Our end-to-end solutions help operators meet these
challenges by helping them quickly develop new products, new packaging as well
as pricing models that target specific user preferences, reducing time-to-
market. This agreement not only reinforces our partnership with MTN but places
them in prime position to fulfill their strategic ambitions. Together, we will
continue to develop innovative offerings suitable for all MTN operations".
Ericsson has been a long-term partner for MTN, and has provided the operator
with real-time charging capabilities since 1996. MTN was one of the first
customers to introduce Ericsson Pre-Paid Systems in all Africa and Middle East
Operations. Today Ericsson's charging and billing solutions support more than 2
billion subscribers worldwide.
