Highdeal, the world’s leading provider of Pricing & Rating solutions, has recently announced that Motricity, a leading provider of mobile content services and solutions, has chosen Highdeal Transactive™ for its revenue sharing and partner settlement needs.
Motricity, which serves 7 of the top 10 mobile carriers in North America and leading content providers including MTV, BET and CBS, required comprehensive revenue sharing capabilities for more demanding, multiparty value chains. As on-deck and off-deck offerings increasingly co-exist, robust partner settlement capabilities are required to address the myriad contractual terms and conditions.

This includes, for example, negotiated royalty and license fee calculations based on subscription and a la carte purchases.

Transactive helps manage these demanding terms and conditions creating a win-win for both parties while also enabling real-time visibility into shared revenue streams.

When combined with our award-winning managed services solution, both retailers and content owners will benefit from highly flexible and mutually-beneficial content contracts.”

TTI Team Telecom International Ltd. (NASDAQ: TTIL) (“TTI Telecom”), a global supplier of Operations Support Systems (OSS) to communications service providers, has released the results of a survey it conducted at the recent OSS conference and exhibition, TeleManagement World in Nice.
Most notably, the survey results reveal that 63% of service providers see end-to-end, cross domain management as their most significant requirement for service management. The survey covered several other areas of OSS, as well as recording cross-reference points such as respondents’ plans for IPTV and IMS rollouts, and region.
The importance of Fault and Performance systems was shown to be significantly higher than expected. Whereas inventory and provisioning are often assumed to be of chief importance, when asked directly about the dominant applications in respondents’ currently existing OSS platform, Fault and Performance management came out on top, at 24% and 21% respectively.
When asked separately which NGN OSS application respondents expect to be their top priority by the end of this year, overall the top two results were “Fault and Performance service monitoring,” and “service provisioning or installation verification.”
Interestingly, when isolated by region, “service-level agreements” – which ranked third overall – was rated in second place among European providers, reflecting that providers in this market increasingly see QoS as a key point for differentiation and customer retention. Similarly, those providers with plans for IMS rollouts in the near future showed a higher-than-average emphasis on SLAs.
The increasing importance of service impact analysis was reflected in the above responses. Additionally, where 63% of service providers replied that end-to-end service management was of key importance, “linking customers to the service model” came in second at 17%, still more than double any of the remaining options.
As for the test and monitoring methods used to handle network quality, CDRs and IPDRs from network elements came out on top at 34% of service providers, with KPIs/KQIs from the control plane rated at 24%.
“The results of the survey were surprising at some points, but very logical overall,” commented Yaron Eisenstein, Director of Solutions Marketing at TTI Telecom. “Fault and Performance rated surprisingly high compared with other OSS applications, but this a logical outcome of the functional demands which service providers have indicated. We see here a high demand for the kind of Service Impact analysis required to link customers to the service model and uphold SLAs, as well as dependable QoS required for IPTV and IMS, and very high demand for an end-to-end service management solution. All of these require powerful Fault and Performance management systems, and extensive collaboration between the two.”
When asked about the status of their OSS budget, 60% described their status as “approved” or “in-progress,” indicating a high level of certainty and awareness regarding the issues discussed throughout the rest of the survey.
Further details and a more extensive analysis of the survey results can be made available upon request.

LHS, a leading provider of telecom billing and customer care systems across the wireless, wireline, and IP telecom markets worldwide was awarded today the “2007 Stratecast Global Investment of R&D Resources to Address Core Billing Needs Award” by the Stratecast Research Group of Frost & Sullivan.
“The Award is bestowed upon the company that has carried out extensive research and has a strong commitment to research and development as demonstrated by the relative level of R&D expenditures to the company’s size. It also recognizes a company’s research and development program that has or is expected to bring significant contributions to the billing sector in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture,” said Karl Whitelock, Senior Consulting Analyst at Stratecast. LHS won the award because of its significant and sustained emphasis on research and development.
LHS has since the year 2001 significantly invested into R&D and has successfully applied this investment to its business and product offerings. The investment has been mainly used for rearchitecting its BSCS business support system, resulting in BSCS iX, a fully convergent end-to-end componentized realtime billing system providing web-based applications for customer care and self-care.
“LHS was the obvious choice for our award. The company is a global industry leader regarding billing sector R&D. It has invested considerable resources in R&D and has successfully converted the results of the research into innovative and sustainable business solutions,” Whitelock added.
In the billing sector, outstanding performance in a real-time system means low latency, but high throughput is also essential in both batch and real-time modes. LHS’ BSCS iX has a latency of sub-20ms for rating and has one of the best-performing rating and billing engines on the market. The system supports full convergence across all markets, services and payments – wireline and wireless, voice, data, content and IPTV, prepaid and postpaid.
In addition, BSCS iX can be scaled to match the customer’s needs from entry level to serving to large Tier 1 subscribers. “Its forward-looking R&D investments excellently position LHS in the billing and related areas in the future when convergence of networks and technologies, and the resulting exponential explosion of service offerings are expected to take center stage,” said Karl Whitelock.
Another criterion for receiving the award is LHS’ use of technology to promote integration, interoperability, and userfriendliness. Within BSCS iX, business documents are all created in the XML format, allowing for paper or electronic bills to be defined in the layout needed by the carrier. Further flexible XML output formats enable bill generation as required as well as electronic billing e.g. for web-based customer self-care. In addition, open and standard-based APIs enable stepwise migrations, easier integration with other systems, and preintegration with major financial systems.
“Our recently announced benchmark results of BSCS iX rating more than 320 million usage data records per hour, as well as the generation of 1.69 million invoices per hour in the offline mode and 550,000 invoices per hour in the real-time mode are indicative of LHS’s ability to convert R&D efforts into business results,” said Dr. Jens Troetscher, Chief Technology Officer of LHS.
