Operator chooses LHS to support both wireline and wireless services

London 06 September 2005 – LHS today announces the successful implementation of its BSCS billing and customer care solution for the fixed line business unit of Maroc Telecom, the leading operator in Marocco. The implementation means that Maroc Telecom will now be using BSCS from LHS to bill across both wireless and wireline services.

Maroc Telecom has chosen BSCS billing and customer care solution to rate for its wireline services so that it can launch new and innovative services to its 1,4 million subscribers. BSCS offers Maroc Telecom a flexible tariff and service set up reducing time to market so that new services can be launched to subscribers quickly.

As Maroc Telecom has already implemented BSCS for its wireless business unit where BSCS has demonstrated excellent performance and reliability, this once again proves the capabilities of BSCS, both across wireline and wireless. Atos Origin, one of LHS’ partners for system integration, implemented BSCS at Maroc Telecom.

Stefan Sieber, Managing Director MEA and APAC at LHS adds: “BSCS offers extensive wireline functionality and is at the same time well known in the mobile billing industry. The fact that Maroc Telecom has selected BSCS for the wireline business unit is indicative of the capabilities and quality of LHS billing solutions.”

BSCS is an end-to-end real-time billing and customer care system, designed to deliver across all wireline, wireless and multi-services networks in the worldwide marketplace, today and tomorrow. It is built on leading-edge technology and designed for carrier-grade scalability and true customer orientation.
