AMS Announces Prepaid Solution

American
Management Systems Inc. (www.amsinc.com), an
international business and information technology consulting firm, recently
introduced INAdvance, a convergent prepaid solution for the telecommunications
industry.

Available as a comprehensive solution for emerging and established telecommunications firms, INAdvance uses advanced technology and a convergent design approach to improve an operator’s prepaid product offering.

With its high-volume, real-time rating engine, INAdvance is suitable for stand alone support of an operator’s prepaid business as a Hot-Billing solution, or on top of an intelligent network platform as a dedicated value-added prepaid customer care and management solution.

INAdvance supports current and future wireless technologies such as GPRS, WAP and UMTS, wireline communications and e-business.

“Many telecommunications companies are feeling the pain of rapid market expansion without an adequate vision of how to increase prepaid profitability and separate their prepaid offerings from their immediate competition,” says Mahmood Mirza, vice president of AMS’ European Telecommunications division in a press statement.

INAdvance is designed to improve operating efficiency with its modular, portable and flexible architecture, which allows for the seamless management of different prepaid technologies.

One of AMS’ first INAdvance customers is Telecel S.A., a private wireless operator in Portugal.
