Vodafone Portugal upgrades to Comverse`s Kenan FX billing solution to support converged services

Comverse, a subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc, and the world`s leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing services, today announced that Vodafone Portugal, a member of the Vodafone Group, is upgrading to the Comverse Kenan FX framework to support billing for converged voice and data mobile services for its customers. Including fixed services to the corporate sector.

Kenan FX combines the world-class Kenan BP billing engine with ordering and customer management applications, enabling efficient customer lifecycle management.

New advanced technology streamlines back-office billing services, such as advanced rating and collection applications, decreasing the development and integration costs of new services. Having successfully used the Kenan BP billing solution to support its customer base since 1999, Vodafone Portugal selected Comverse`s Kenan FX business framework to enable the speedy launch of new converged product offerings to its consumer and enterprise markets.

"We are confident that the Kenan FX framework will support our needs as we continue to enhance our converged communication offerings," said Jo~ao Pedro Silva, Information & System Technologies Director at Vodafone Portugal. "The ability to quickly launch new converged services to our expanding customer base is crucial to our business success. This combined with the benefits we will receive from streamlining our back-office systems will enable us to maintain a competitive advantage now and in the future."

"We greatly value our successful, long-term working relationship with Vodafone Portugal," said Gadi Bahat, President of Comverse EMEA. "Comverse`s Kenan FX business framework together with the Comverse InSight Open Services Environment already deployed by Vodafone Portugal, provides a powerful combination that enables Vodafone Portugal to optimise its services, billing and customer management capabilities for the converged communication environment."
