Turkcell Group Implements WeDo Technologies' Business Assurance (R)

LISBON, Portugal, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- WeDo Technologies, a leader in revenue and business assurance solutions, has signed a deal with Turkcell Group to implement its flagship business assurance software RAID(R) across the entire group. This software will ensure Turkcell Group avoids data and financial losses related to inconsistencies in business support systems and network platforms.

Turkcell Group required a flexible revenue assurance solution which supported their individual requirements, while at the same time also providing the group with a robust set of functionalities.

WeDo Technologies partnered with two local companies to meet Turkcell Group's requirements; a strategic consultancy company called Telcotank and an integrator company called i2i. The project will be rolled out in phases, starting with the operators Turkcell and Superonline in Turkey and Astelit in Ukraine. Altogether the project will take 18 months to complete.

The project will cover a range of key areas including subscriber and service reconciliation, usage assurance and billing and rating verification.

"When we were talking to WeDo Technologies about our revenue assurance requirements, we knew RAID was the right solution to go for as it is a tried and tested solution, with a fast and guaranteed return on investment" said Omer Altinok, Group Revenue Assurance Manager at Turkcell.

"We are really excited to be working with Turkcell Group and increasing our footprint across Turkey and the surrounding countries" said Ines Ferreira, Southern Europe Business Development Manager at WeDo Technologies. "We feel the structured approach to integration will enable Turkcell Group to focus on the key risk areas, such as rating and billing validation, while maintaining the focus on an end-to-end deployment."
