WAKEFIELD, 14 July, 2010

Comverse BSS Solution Enables GCI to Consolidate Billing Operations for Quad-Play Services

Comverse has received Billing & OSS World’s Excellence Award for Best Cost Management Implementation for consolidating GCI’s multiple lines of business into Comverse’s multi-service convergent Business Support System (BSS) solution. “Comverse’s achievements were judged by a panel of experts as being exemplary among its peers,” said Mike Saxby, publisher of Billing & OSS World magazine.

“Billing & OSS World is pleased to acknowledge Comverse as an example of excellence in best cost management implementations for the telecommunications industry.”

The Best Cost Management Implementation award is given to the implementer of business or operations support system software or the application of professional services that significantly lowers the cost of doing business.

“The Comverse BSS Solution enables GCI to deliver bundled service offerings, drive new revenues and streamline its billing operations by using one system to support its entire product portfolio,” said Garrison Macri, Senior Vice President, North America, 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 are honored to receive this important industry award, which is a tribute to the outstanding cooperation between the GCI and Comverse implementation teams," Macri said.

“We continue to gain great benefits from working with Comverse,” said Jim Dunlap, president of Cycle30, a GCI company that operates all of GCI’s order-to-cash billing and other BSS systems. “Comverse’s leadership in converged BSS solutions worldwide provides strength and flexibility at the core of GCI’s and Cycle30’s overall order-to-cash platform.”

The awards, which were presented in early June at the Billing World 2010 Conference & Expo, recognize excellence in a communications service provider’s business from vendor-enabled or internal initiatives.
