Intec, a provider of Business Support System (BSS) solutions, has announced the availability of Version 5 of InterconnecT Optimised Routing, its wholesale trading and routing product.
Intec's InterconnecT OR V5 is a complete solution for the trading and routing of wholesale traffic and said to lower costs, enable new revenue streams and maximises interconnect margins whilst maintaining call quality. Interconnect costs are minimised by determining optimal routing plans while maximising the utilisation of available network assets. The solution incorporates a suite of advanced quality measurement tools which allow the operator to ensure reliable, high quality call termination thereby helping to maintain customer satisfaction and boost international call revenues.
"InterconnecT Optimised Routing has been a key component in the growth of TeliaSonera International Carrier's voice business since 2006," said Simon Dodsworth, Director of Trading Operations. "Access to real-time volume and QoS information is vital for TeliaSonera International Carrier to enable timely and accurate decision-making. The ability of our traders to make key margin-generating decisions has been enhanced by the live quality feed provided by the latest version of the product. We are very pleased with the solution's performance to date and we are confident that the new version will continue to support our plans to further optimise our business processes."
"With the rapidly increasing number of trading and routing partners, operators need the best technology to help them optimise profitability by tracking wholesale margins," commented David Heaps, Chief Product & Strategy Officer for Intec. "Intec is delighted that a number of the world's leading operators, including TeliaSonera International Carrier, are already deploying Version 5 of OR and taking full advantage of the most advanced tools on the market, to manage their international wholesale business."
The release of Intec's InterconnecT OR V5 follows extensive investment in the product with new features including active test calling and a new near real-time Quality of Service Monitor – both key tools in operator SLA compliance. Intec says user experience is greatly enhanced and the product is benchmarked to handle up to one billion events per day, comfortably supporting traffic levels for the world's largest operators.
For customers looking to apply Business Intelligence to their wholesale business, InterconnecT OR V5 also offers an extensive reporting and data analytics package; customers can take advantage of the built-in standard reports and business analytics with full drill-down and "slice & down" functionality, or customise them to their specific needs.
