Polkomtel Poland Signs With MACH for Advanced Roaming Business Management Solutions
Published September 3rd, 2009
MACH, the leading provider of solutions to simplify and accelerate the creation and operation of the mobility supply chain, announced today that it has signed a deal to provide roaming business management services to Polkomtel, the largest mobile operator in Poland.
The Polish market has seen significantly increased competition in recent years, and the current pressure on retail tariffs will increase as EU roaming regulations come into effect. The resulting margin pressure requires Polish operators to build new revenue streams, to minimise revenue leakage and to reduce operational costs.
MACH’s advanced roaming business management solutions provide the real-time visibility and control to maximise roaming revenues and profitability. Built on a NRTRDE-based data clearing platform, MACH solutions also allow Polkomtel to limit fraud losses through the early detection of fraudulent roaming activity. Polkomtel will not only benefit from MACH’s Data Clearing solutions for secure file processing and roaming data exchange to accelerate settlement processes and eliminate revenue leakage, but will also be able to employ more effective and faster decision-making based on MACH’s business intelligence tools for roaming business analysis, tariff management and end-user routing.
The market leader in clearing and settlement, MACH offers the industry’s most time- and cost-effective revenue assurance solutions. These solutions will enable Polkomtel to optimise its roaming traffic and identify new revenue opportunities. Furthermore, optimisation and streamlining of the billing cycle will eliminate revenue leakage. MACH’s local presence and support structure ensure that Polkomtel’s deployment of the MACH suite will maximise return on investment and minimise time to value.
“MACH clears more than half of all roaming calls on GSM and CDMA networks and on top of that, we have more than 300 operational NRTRDE clients,” noted Morten Brogger, MACH’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Our experience in this area is unparalleled and we are delighted that Polkomtel has chosen to work with us to build their roaming business.”
