the system will enable us to provide a richer offering to our customers through the rapid
implementation of new services, as well as immediate additional sources of income from
interconnect fees. The Leap Billing solution will help us to increase our revenues and
therefore it will provide a rapid ROI. Moreover, we have seen first-hand that FTS is
genuinely committed to our market and we have no doubt that working with FTS will take
TelOne to the next generation of telecommunication services."
"This is another great deployment for FTS, and one we believe that will provide huge
benefits to TelOne," said Nir Asulin, FTS' CEO. "The flexibility of the Leap Billing
platform will help TelOne create additional sources of revenue, and with our on-going
support and service, TelOne will be able to further increase revenues over the coming
years. This project is testimony to FTS' steadfast commitment to this fast-growing region,
where we help operators across Africa to provide a wide range of advanced
telecommunication services to their growing customer base."
The flexibility of the Leap Billing platform means that new packages and services can
now be created at the speed of marketing by TelOne. Other immediate benefits that Leap
Billing brings to TelOne include: providing customers with a single bill summarising all
the services they use from their subscription packages, including fixed telephony,
Internet and wireless; offering subscribers a single point of contact for all their
queries; and through the FTS' Interconnect solution, ensuring accounting accuracy of
TelOne's growing roaming and interconnect revenues, enabling TelOne to turn its
interconnect and settlements policies into a revenue stream, with an almost immediate
return on investment.
