The company has also upgraded its current convergent billing installation to the latest version 6.0. The additional capabilities are key enablers for the delivery of complex, content-oriented next-generation services.

The company has signed on Intec for these capabilities.

We have expanded our relationship with Intec because the flexibility, scalability and performance of its billing technology has allowed Reliance Communication to grow at very high rates and gain business advantage within the highly competitive and fast-developing Indian market, said Sumit Chowdhury, CIO, Reliance Communications. This additional deployment will help us to further enhance our competitiveness in the telecommunications market, to bill and manage partner relationships more efficiently, and launch new next generation content services like DTH, IPTV and other value-added services.

Version 6.0 provides operators with extended functionality, distributed architecture for increased scalability, improved efficiency of billing operations, and enhanced support for multi-national requirement. The CPM solution will allow Reliance to manage partner agreements for content and value-added services more efficiently. For example, Intec CPM enables operators to accurately handle rating and revenue sharing with direct and indirect partners to support rapid and profitable deployment of next-generation products and services. It also ensures that partners are able to self-manage agreements and transactions via a web portal.

Intec s technology, experience and capabilities in BSS/OSS will help us to seamlessly evolve our OSS/BSS architecture into the next generation through the rapid launch of innovative, cost-effective products and services to a huge and growing customer base, said Chowdhury.
