Chief Technology Officer for Tunisia, Hatem Mestiri, said Nokia Siemens subscribers would soon enjoy an increased range of mobile services along with the choice of combining pre- or postpaid payment methods.
“Tunisiana wants to remain the market innovator with new value-added services and tariff models,” said Mestiri.
He said Nokia Siemens Networks’ unified charging and billing solution would underpin a range of innovative and flexible services, not to mention enabling credit control across our customer base, that will improve the
competitiveness and service differentiation.
“Making the shift to a customer-centric approach brings significant advantages such as improved efficiency and reduced operational costs,” added Houssem Eddine Ben Othman, country director for Tunisia at Nokia
Siemens Networks.
“Additionally, a shorter time to market with off-the-shelf marketing scenarios will enable Tunisiana to generate new revenue streams and reduce churn,” Mestiri.
To help Tunisiana undertake this shift, Nokia Siemens Networks is deploying its modular and scalable charge@once unified charging and billing solution, providing a risk-free and smooth migration towards a convergent charging and billing environment that can serve any kind of network.
The solution provides Tunisiana with a ‘360° online view’ of the customer and its layered architecture allows operators to offer the same services to all types of customers, whether prepaid, postpaid or hybrid.
Tunisiana is the first private telecom operator in Tunisia , launched in May 11th 2002 with a capital of $330 million. It became the leader in the industry in August 2008 achieving a market share of 53 percent.
