TeleKnowledge, Openet Partner To Offer Comprehensive Convergent Solutions For Data And Voice

TeleKnowledge, a leading provider of value-based billing software solutions for IP/broadband service and content providers, and Openet Telecom, an independent telecommunications software company dedicated to providing convergent mediation solutions announced a joint marketing and integration agreement.

The integration of Total-e from TeleKnowledge and FusionWorks from Openet will allow immediate consolidation, mediation, filtering, rating and billing for a wide variety of services offered by today's telecom operators and service providers.

"As service providers offer a multitude of voice and data services, the correlation of data from heterogeneous networks becomes essential and even critical. Total-e's flexible plug-and-play architecture makes it easy to define, introduce and price any type of service," stated Raanan Peleg, VP sales & marketing, Europe at TeleKnowledge. "When combined with FusionWorks -- the high performance mediation software that collects and correlates customer usage patterns from a wide variety of network elements -- we offer a unique and innovative solution for convergent customer care and billing."

"This partnership with TeleKnowledge will provide wireline and mobile telecom operators with a complete solution where the diverse range of customer services can be rated, billed and viewed on the same invoice," added Stuart Kelly, VP Sales at Openet Telecom.

Under the terms of the partnership the two companies will co-market each other's products and services in a variety of ways, including trade shows and customer referrals.
