on-time implementations and its deep knowledge of the requirements of the

installed Interconnect and this was a contributing factor in the deal due to
the high level of satisfaction with the product.

We chose CSG due to its worldwide leading position in
the interconnection billing area with its ability to deploy a full suite of
products in the billing and OSS area,” stated Yves Gauthier, chief executive
officer of Tunisiana.

business and value-added services in a holistic fashion through reporting,
providing added visibility and control for enabling better business decisions,”
