Openet Telecom to Roll Out Phase 1 of FusionWorks Mediation Deployment at Orange Slovensko

May 14, 2003 - Openet

Dublin, 14th May 2003, Openet Telecom, a world leader in real-time charging and convergent mediation, today announced the first phase deployment of FusionWorks™ Mediation at Orange Slovensko. This deployment, which includes licensing and professional services support, represents a further high-profile contract for Openet Telecom based on its world-wide contract with the Orange group. The implementation of FusionWorks Mediation will support Orange Slovensko's move towards a unified and future-proof architecture offering accelerated service deployment and revenue assurance from current and new service offerings.

This primary deployment is for voice mediation from Alcatel. It also includes a training project for Orange Slovensko's engineers, designed to transfer knowledge on deploying and maintaining FusionWorks, allowing them to manage and deploy future applications of the Openet solution. This deployment is part of an overall project plan to deliver a long-term, cost-effective solution which will unify Orange Slovensko's network architecture.
 
"It was not only the flexible and scalable nature of FusionWorks Mediation that attracted us to Openet," commented Ivan Golian, CIO of Orange Slovensko. "Their positive attitude towards empowering our engineers through the provision of training and support during and after implementation made a significant impression. This means that we can work in partnership with Openet and leverage their solution to best economic and strategic effect across our network."
 
"Once again, Openet has been recognised by a market leading operator as the real-time charging and convergent mediation partner of choice," commented John Rainger, CEO of Openet Telecom. "With Orange Slovensko we demonstrate that by leveraging our expertise, not only in flexible software design but through our training and professional services, we offer the best convergent mediation and real-time charging solutions available."
 
Signed in December 2002, the Orange-Openet agreement is a three-year framework contract under which Openet is the recommended supplier of convergent mediation solutions to Orange affiliates. This contract was signed after a year-long due diligence process, as a result of which FusionWorks Mediation was selected as the preferred solution for Orange group affiliates. Under the contract, each Orange affiliate is expected to agree individual deployment plans with Openet.
