Joint Offering Helps Service Providers Quickly Introduce Revenue-Generating Content, Voice, And Data Services Packages
Kabira(TM) Technologies Inc., a provider of adaptive real-time infrastructure software for the creation of revenue-generating network-based services, announced today that HighDeal, a leading provider of software that manages value-based pricing, rating, and billing for telecommunications, content and online services, has joined the Kabira Ecosystem Partner Program. The immediate result of the partnership is the creation of a full-featured adapter between the Kabira ObjectSwitch platform and HighDeal's convergent rating engine, one of three modules that comprise HighDeal Software Suite(TM).
"Content rating is a key factor enabling service providers to generate new revenue," says Jean-Claude Sotto, Alliances Director for Europe. "Kabira xDR Mediation solutions combined with HighDeal's convergent rating engine offer a flexible and off-the-shelf solution for service providers who wish to bill in prepaid or postpaid modes for multiparty services."
The HighDeal-Kabira adapter will enable telecommunications and online services customers to price, rate and bill for convergent service packages that include prepaid content and online services. In addition, HighDeal's powerful and highly intuitive GUI provides a common platform that IT, marketing, sales, and finance departments all can use to create, test, and instantly implement flexible pricing offers.
"As a result of this partnership, HighDeal and Kabira now offer one of the industry's most advanced, off-the-shelf solutions for the value-based pricing and rating of content as a component of a convergent services package," says Rupert Trollope, VP business development, HighDeal.
