[January 24, 2006] NRJ and Euro-Information Select Highdeal to Power Mobile Telephony Services Across Europe; Highdeal Provides a Pricing, Rating and Billing Solution for Europe's Latest MVNO Venture - NRJ Mobile Tweet NEW YORK & PARIS --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 24, 2006 -- One of Europe's leading radio groups, NRJ, and its investment partner Euro-Information, Groupe Credit-Mutuel CIC, today announced that market leading pricing and rating specialist, Highdeal, has been chosen to power its new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) venture -- NRJ Mobile(R). The service was launched at the end of 2005 and is the first MVNO in Europe to provide 3G enabled services. Highdeal's robust pricing and rating solution -- Highdeal Transactive(R) -- enables NRJ to offer an extensive range of both services by using a portal to propose a variety of tariffs and packages. For instance, these services include one SMS free with every call made, different price plans to match the quality of games downloaded and packages that last for either a month or for just 24 hours. With Highdeal, NRJ will have the capability to easily price, rate and create new, innovative price plans and flexible commercial offerings, and manage its entire operator value chain seamlessly. NRJ Mobile and Euro-Information required a solution that enabled them to rapidly create and modify offers in order to reach their specific market segments as well as a platform to handle payments for third parties, such as Feel London, a radio partner in the UK. It was particularly important to NRJ that the solution could easily integrate into its existing IT system. "Highdeal Transactive, which had initially been chosen by Euro-Information, convinced us of the system's inherent capabilities for handling next generation services. As a pure MVNO it's essential that we can be reactive and quickly introduce innovative services and price plans for our customers both now and in the future. By choosing Highdeal Transactive, we have complete control over the back office and the pricing, rating and billing functions," explains Jerome Birba, Director of the NRJ Mobile Project. "We are very pleased to have been chosen by Euro-Information and support NRJ in their diversification strategy. We see real potential in the MVNO market and the intrinsic capabilities of our product are ideal. Highdeal's ability to rapidly deploy a flexible solution, while billing and managing the entire value chain is key to this market," said Eric Lavenir, Vice President Sales EMEA from Highdeal.
