BSCS iX highly successful with more than 10 installations worldwide during the last six months

Frankfurt, 30 January 2006 – LHS, the leading provider of telecommunications and billing software, today announced that over 10 customers worldwide have selected its leading billing and customer care system BSCS iX during the last six months.

BSCS iX is an end-to-end real-time billing and customer care system supporting full convergence across technology, services and payment methods. BSCS iX allows a communication service provider to bill both pre- and post-paid customers across fixed, mobile, and Internet platforms for voice, data, content, and Internet services.

The leading edge iX architecture enables operators to benefit from easy integration of the system and stepwise migrations. Advanced branding for multi-company support allows communication service providers to manage billing and customer care for two or more independent service providers and operators within a single instance of BSCS iX. Operators with a global or affiliated structure thus benefit from significantly reduced operational costs.

Wolfgang Kroh, Chief Operating Officer at LHS says: “BSCS iX has been extremely successful since its launch last year and we will continue to work with our customers on numerous new projects this year. The end-to-end real-time architecture of BSCS iX is key for communications service providers when it comes to supporting new business models, particularly in the 3G market with such a high demand for new services.”
