Comverse today announced that it received the highest possible overall
vendor rating from industry analyst firm Gartner, Inc., based on the
evaluation of billing and customer management solutions and services to
telecom operators.
The "very strong” rating was based on Gartner’s extensive evaluation of
12 Business Support System (BSS) vendors. The report, "Dataquest
Insight: Business Support System Market Overview and Strategic Scorecard
for Vendors, 2009,” was written by analyst Norbert Scholz.
"Telecom operators around the globe are using the Comverse ONE Billing
and Active Customer Management BSS solution, which enables the
deployment of multi-play services and attractive service bundles in very
short timeframes,” said Gabriel Matsliach, President of Global Products
and Operations at Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and
systems enabling value-added messaging and content services, converged
billing and active customer management, and IP communications.
”We also recently added new sales and marketing extensions to the
Comverse ONE offering to further drive carrier revenues,” he said.
The Comverse ONE solution bridges a carrier’s IT organization with its
network operations. It also unifies sales, marketing, ordering, billing
and customer management around a single data model and provides full
convergence across any network, any service, any content and any payment
type. By centralizing customer information, eliminating integration
points, and delivering a single marketing-driven product catalog, the
Comverse ONE BSS offering enables operators to quickly introduce and
monetize new services, while providing a consistent and interactive
customer experience regardless of customer touchpoint. It turns a
business support system into a strategic asset allowing operators to
profit from market opportunities faster than ever.
At the upcoming Mobile World Congress meeting (Feb. 15 to 18) in
Barcelona, visitors are invited to Hall 8 Booth B83 to experience the
Comverse ONE solution and the wide range of Comverse demos. To schedule
a meeting with Comverse, visitors are encouraged to make an online

Marketing, will participate on a panel discussion, "Strategies for
Growth – Compelling Customer Service” on Tuesday, Feb. 16 from 4 to 5:30
p.m.
