Tunisie
Telecom, the leading national telecommunications
company in Tunisia, will deploy Telarix’s
comprehensive portfolio of interconnect
business optimization solutions to
manage the carrier’s growing
interconnect business.
Tunisie Telecom will implement
Telarix’s partner management,
routing and trade solutions as well
as the revenue assurance modules,
iXBill and iXAudit. iXBill is a
robust and highly flexible interconnect
billing system that allows carriers
to eliminate revenue leakage by
ensuring that every call is captured,
rated and invoiced correctly. Integrated
with iXConnect, the solution is
able to define and manage an infinite
number of interconnect agreements
with other carriers and content
partners, regardless of the level
of complexity. This level of sophistication
enables a carrier to support a variety
of agreement types and rating scenarios
including multi-party settlements
and sophisticated revenue sharing
partnerships.
iXAudit, the second part of Telarix’s
revenue assurance solution, is an
end-to-end audit and dispute management
system designed to streamline the
validation of interconnect invoices,
reconcile charges and manage settlements.
The system provides a data repository
for all carrier invoices and a flexible
workflow to expedite the identification
and management of disputes. By supporting
the automatic transfer of information
to back-office financial management
systems, carriers can efficiently
complete payment processing and
manage the accounting for any disputed
amounts which might arise.
“Tunisie Telecom has a proven
track record of deploying innovative
technologies that enhance our business
and provide a competitive advantage,”
said Nabil Baccouche, Head of Wholesale
& International at Tunisie Telecom.
“Deploying Telarix’s
iXTools will enable Tunisie Telecom
to dramatically increase the financial
management of our interconnect business,
allowing us to make faster decisions
that increase revenue opportunities
and reduce costs.”
“Forward looking service
providers like Tunisie Telecom are
deploying next generation business
optimization solutions that can
increase the overall effectiveness
of their interconnect operations
and drive revenue growth,”
said Don Lynch, CEO of Telarix.
“By implementing iXTools,
Tunisie Telecom can react quickly
to margin opportunities while enhancing
their overall service delivery capabilities
to their customers.”
Telarix’s iXTools is a powerful
suite of software modules that enables
carriers to reduce costs and increase
profitability across their interconnect
networks. By analyzing both revenue
and cost information associated
with telecom traffic in near real-time,
carriers can optimize network routing
and identify financial risks and
opportunities while ensuring that
every call is captured, rated and
billed accurately. Three of the
world’s five largest telecom
providers depend on iXTools to optimize
their interconnect business.
The Yankee Group named Telarix
as one of the only interconnect
solutions providers to address the
four critical value areas for service
providers: Route Optimization; Pricing
and Margin Management; Billing;
and Verification, Audit and Reconciliation.
