Intec Americas Completes Outsourcing Contracts with Leading US Service Providers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intec, a global provider of business support systems (BSS) solutions, announced today the completion of two multi-year, multi-million dollar renewal agreements for its US- domestic inter-carrier billing services. This is the second multi-year renewal for one of North America’s leading MSOs, and an additional term for the other, a top five local exchange carrier, which also uses Intec to service its wireless inter-carrier billing. Both carriers are aiming to drive continued revenue optimization through access billing revenues and inter-carrier settlement, supported by Intec’s market-leading InterconnecT CABS (Carrier Access Billing) software and the expertise of Intec’s professional services team.

Both providers are supported from Intec’s Managed Services center located in its Americas headquarters in Atlanta, GA. In addition to its other services, the Atlanta center generates $720 million annually in CABS billings on behalf of Intec’s customers.

Intec is renowned for the outstanding performance of its software applications in terms of processing and throughput. While Intec processes volumes in excess of 1.6 billion CDRs a month on behalf of these two service providers alone, this is only a fraction of the 40 billion CDRs the Intec Managed Services processes per month for one of the USA’s largest mobile operators. Intec’s Managed Services operation uses Inter-mediatE, Intec’s market-leading mediation product, as the preprocessor for InterconnecT CABS. The InterconnecT CABS application is currently benchmarked at 1 million EDRs per minute in Intec’s service bureau environment.

“We are delighted that these two market leaders have, once again, chosen Intec to support their inter-carrier billing and settlement,” said Ian Watterson, Intec VP Americas. “Intec’s hard-earned reputation as a trusted vendor and partner means that operators can rely on us to help maximize their revenue earning potential, while providing the market intelligence and expertise to ensure their compliance with changing regulations.”

Intec supports the CABS billing operations of more than 30 U.S. carriers, via its service bureau, ranging from large Tier 1 communications and cable companies to smaller CLECs and independent rural carriers.
