Subex Azure to work on BT workgroups

Subex Azure Ltd on January 08, 2008 has announced that it has been chosen for three separate deployments - Revenue Assurance, Business Intelligence and Data Quality — across the BT Group.

BT currently processes over 200 million CDRs (call detail records) per day across six countries — Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Ireland and Germany. Each country has its own switching and mediation systems, making it difficult to detect Revenue Assurance cases efficiently.

BT wanted to implement an integrated system that feeds directly into its Revenue Assurance Centre of Excellence enabling it to co-ordinate, its Revenue Assurance activities across Europe much more effectively. The Company has won a multi-million dollar contract to deploy its Moneta™ Revenue Assurance Bureau for BT Global Services. The Company was selected due to its extensive international Revenue Maximization experience and ability to provide its Revenue Assurance system as a managed service.

In addition, the Company is providing further support to BT Wholesale and BT Global Services' Interconnect Billing operations, by implementing a single long-term storage and retrieval facility for itemised CDRs. The BASALT (BT Analytical Storage and Leveraging Tool) implementation provides BT with improved Business Intelligence to support billing disputes, reconciliation, financial and network analysis by giving a single consistent view of product and customer behaviour.

For BT's 21st Century Network (21 CN) transformation project, Subex's Data Integrity Management solution (TrueSource) has been implemented for discovery and reconciliation across its IP-based network. TrueSource provides a range of tools to accurately track BT services and network assets, recover resources and enhance processes, including auto-discovery, live discrepancy management and reconciliation functions. This enables BT to assure data consistency across its 21CN network meaning it is able to reduce costs, recover revenues and enhance its provisioning capability.

Paul Skillen, President - BT Business Unit, of the Company said, "We know from our global customer base that BT's solutions really are world-class We are delighted to have this long standing relationship with BT whereby we are able to deliver significant benefits across the entire ST group. Since the roll-out of the three projects, we have already seen dramatic results, and look forward to working further to maximize the group’s revenues and Service Fulfillment."
