Listed mobile network MTN Group announced on Monday that it had signed a contract worth around $15-million with United Kingdom-based Intec Telecom Systems for a new customer billing system using Intec’s Singl.eView software.
The new system will handle billing for the mobile group’s South African operation which has over 7,7-million subscribers.
“This is a key project for MTN that will support our very high growth rates, provide a superior customer billing experience, and reduce our cost of technology ownership,” MTN South Africa’s billing programme director Megan Ashman said.
“We chose Singl.eView as our new strategic billing platform for its outstanding technology and as a result of Intec’s long-term presence, commitment and investment in Africa.”
The two firms have already started work on the deployment of the billing system, with Intec providing support and services through its local office.
The UK-based company develops new products and supports a number of Africa’s landline and wireless carriers. – I-Net Bridge
