• InterconnecT OR 4.4 uses leading-edge component-based technology to give unprecedented performance, scalability, interoperability and reliability • Notable competitive wins already for InterconnecT OR 4.4 with major EMEA and ASIA PAC carriers London, 20 September 2005: Intec Telecom System’s InterconnecT Optimised Routing solution continues to evolve, responding to market and customer feedback, and Intec’s ongoing commitment to research and development. Launched today at the 10th annual Carrier’s World event, InterconnecT OR 4.4, from the world’s leading supplier of wholesale billing systems, offers an enhanced solution for extended automatic capacity management, improved reporting, centralised alerting capabilities and comprehensive real-time quality and volume management. Said Gary Bunney, Intec COO Product Operations: "Two processes with paramount impact on wholesale business performance are trading and routing. With InterconnecT OR 4.4 and our broader wholesale portfolio Intec is uniquely positioned to offer carriers an unparalleled range of functionality, from CDR collection, correlation and enrichment to traffic trading, routing, billing, settlement and complete partner management.” Today’s carriers manage complex agreements among trading partners and traffic across an increasingly disparate set of networks and routing alternatives. Interconnect Optimised Routing (OR) is a platform from Intec to enable carriers to trade more effectively by optimizing the entire routing process, strengthening profit margins, reducing the interconnect bill, improving productivity, retaining competitiveness and projecting a professional image to the market place. It is complete, integrated, future-proof and highly modular, enabling rapid installation, minimum disruption and a pick and mix approach to solution building and packaging, driven by customer-specific needs, priorities, budget and phasing requirements. InterconnecT OR sits as a stand-alone product or as a pre-integrated member of the InterconnecT product family, removing integration issues and reducing total cost of ownership. Premier operators such as TeliaSonera, Eircom, AT&T, Wind, Telecom Egypt and Neuf Telecom, use InterconnecT OR for their trading and routing business. Said Intec CEO, Kevin Adams: “Despite significant price erosion from deregulation and increasing competition, the international wholesale voice business continues to be an essential and often substantial component of most telecommunications company revenues. Intec’s InterconnecT OR product provides key decision support and real-time traffic management capabilities which have become essential to help operators maximize shrinking margins and avoid any unnecessary loss of revenue.” As silver sponsor, exhibitor and session owner at Carrier’s World, senior Intec representatives will be
