MANAGEMENT WORLD AFRICA, JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, September 20, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    FTS, a global provider of billing, customer care and policy control

that Mobitel Nigeria has deployed its FTS express(TM) solution to provide a
telecom billing platform that can support Mobitel as it grows its customer
base.

company offers a comprehensive range of services by using cutting-edge
technologies and providing the platform of choice for seamlessly integrating
the tools for a modern lifestyle. FTS express enables Mobitel to quickly
introduce new services to its customer base.

    The implementation process was managed by a global provider of turnkey
next-generation networks solutions which acted as the systems integrator for
the project. The FTS team worked in conjunction with Mobitel and the systems
integrator to ensure that the deployment of the solution was quick, simple
and efficient.

    FTS express [http://www.fts-soft.com/category/fts-express ] is a highly
affordable, easy-to-deploy billing product that has been specifically
designed for entry-level ISPs, VoIP, MVNO, LTE, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, and IPTV
operations who want a flexible solution that provides the foundation for
future growth and expansion. The all-in-one product offers online charging,
billing, AAA, balance management, customer care, interconnect, policy
control and more.

    Mobitel has deployed FTS express to charge and bill for its range of
broadband, VoIP and WiMAX services, as well as to enable the new services to
be easily launched. In addition, using FTS express' business rules engine
and policy control [http://www.fts-soft.com/category/policy-control ]
functionality, Mobitel is able to dynamically change the subscriber's
bandwidth, based on his quota and financial status.

    "We will be experiencing fast growth over the next few years as we
increase the range of services we offer to our customers," said Mr. Johnson
Salako, CEO at Mobitel. "The FTS express solution fits in perfectly with our
requirements as it can both grow with us and enable us to launch those new
services quickly."

    The flexibility and breadth of functionality that FTS express offers
enable customers to start with core modules and add further components as
their business grows, including expanding it to become a fully-fledged,
customized billing and customer care solution, with no changes to procedures
and interfaces.

    "The cost-effective nature of the solution, coupled with the ability to
quickly and easily add extra components, makes FTS express the perfect
solution for carriers such as Mobitel Nigeria," said Amos Sivan, CEO, FTS.
"Africa is a hotbed of service innovation and the choice of billing system
will either support or restrict that. FTS express has been created to
support and enable this innovation."
