Telecom network and software major Ericsson has signed a 5-year deal with Ooredoo to implement charging and billing solution.

The revenue management system from Ericsson will enable Ooredoo to offer products to customers more quickly. Ooredoo also aims to offer customized pricing, packages and services according to the customer demand in each market.

Ericsson Revenue Manager, a cloud-ready convergent charging and billing system, redefines the role of business support systems (BSS). Since Ericsson Revenue Manager integrates technology partners from different industries for quick digital capability, Ooredoo will enjoy a single, converged platform to handle all their users and services.

Ooredoo will deploy the innovative charging billing solution gradually in all its operations in order to offer telecom services in minutes, rather than months. The Deployment of Ericsson’s software and cloud technologies will also support Ooredoo’s ongoing Digital Business Transformation.

In addition, Ooredoo will benefit from significant cost savings from replacing its existing systems and local agreements with a new group-wide license model and the latest evolution of Ericsson’s charging and billing solution across its operations.

“Through this agreement, we will enable Ooredoo operation to deliver fast, customer-oriented offers and launch new data products and services that support our growing portfolio of digital services and enables the growth of the Internet of Things,” said Waleed Al Sayed, deputy CEO, Ooredoo Group.

Ooredoo will begin rolling-out the solution for Indosat Ooredoo, its largest operation, over the next month, before deploying across its other operations in 2016 and 2017.

Ooredoo, which has a presence in markets such as Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Palestine, the Maldives, Myanmar and Indonesia, posted revenues of $8.8 billion in 2015 with customer base of 117 million.
