Subex Azure Ltd has announced that it is to deploy revenue assurance and fraud management systems for CellC, a leading mobile operator in South Africa.
The South African mobile telecommunications market is the largest In the African continent with close to 30 million mobile phone owners1.
Since its inception in 2001, Cell has grown rapidly and as it continues to rollout new products and services, It needed effective systems to ensure it was protecting profits and maximizing its revenues. The Company was the vendor of choice following a competitive tender and will be deploying its MonetaTM Revenue Assurance System and NikiraTM Fraud Management System. Initially, both systems will operate independently, but will eventually, be integrated into one unified platform.
The Moneta Revenue Assurance System delivers a comprehensive suite of automated tools and capabilities designed to enhance a telecom operator's revenue assurance operations. Moneta offers a set of pre-configured solution templates to address RA issues across areas such as service fulfillment, usage integrity, retail billing, interconnect / wholesale billing and content settlement.
CellC chose to replace Its existing fraud management system with the Company's Nikira Fraud Management System. Nikira enables operators to detect both known fraud types and patterns of unusual behaviour In all telecom environments - wire line (PSTN, ISP, VoIP), wireless (2G 2.5G, 3G) and across all services (postpaid, prepaid, VAS, MMS, m-commerce). Nikira uses rules-based alarms and artificial intelligence driven pattern matching to identify likely fraudulent usage. It is highly flexible, allowing operators to customize the configuration to suit their network and business requirements.
Subash Menon, Founder Chairman, Managing Director & CEO of the Company said: "We are delighted to be working with CellC, This deal further strengthens our presence in the region and highlights our proven and successful track record in the African telecommunications market - Which now stands at 19 customers."
