Telesur Improves Service Provisioning With Comptel Dynamic OSS

HELSINKI -

- Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution to Eliminate Suriname Operator’s Manual Processes

Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software, today announced that Telesur has selected Comptel Provisioning and Activation to centralize and automate its order-to-activation process. Eliminating the service provider’s manual entry system, the solution will make it easier to provision subscribers and services, and deliver increased efficiencies in the process.

Government-owned Telesur has been the incumbent operator in the Republic of Suriname since 1973. It offers local and international, fixed and mobile telephony, Internet and data services to all districts in the country. Over the past couple of years, Suriname’s telecommunications environment has opened up to competing operators that offer GSM services. To remain the leader in the mobile sector, Telesur needed to overcome business inefficiencies caused by its manual mode of operations.

“We required a solid provisioning and activation engine to help us further improve our GSM services,” said Mr. Dirk Currie, CEO, Telesur. “Comptel’s offering will allow us to control costs, reduce human errors, improve time to market-and maintain our competitive edge in Suriname.”

Comptel Provisioning and Activation enables operators to fully automate the process of handling subscriber orders to activate services in the network-all to the start of billing. It bridges the gap between service providers’ customer care, sales and complex network platforms, and facilitates the rapid introduction of services or changing network element technologies.

“Suriname’s evolving telecom market confirmed Telesur’s need for a reliable, centralized provisioning and activation solution,” said Mr. Ricardo Carreon, senior vice president, Americas, Comptel. “Comptel Dynamic OSS will greatly improve the service provider’s operations and overall business. We look forward to growing our OSS partnership with Telesur.”

Comptel will be exhibiting at CANTO 2009, taking place July 12-15, 2009 in Trinidad & Tobago. Visit the company at booth #07 for more information. Ms. Kristi Siple, senior director, business development, will be leading a session on “Developing Business on Mobile” on Wednesday, July 15 from 1:00-4:00 p.m.
