Lifetree wins $5m contract

NEW DELHI: Lifetree Convergence Ltd has announced that it has been awarded the global contract to design and deliver an Integrated Customer Care and Billing System for the pre-paid and post-paid customers of DataStream Technologies (DST), Brunei’s GSM operator. The implementation of this solution will result in a single bill for all nine DST Group subsidiaries and lines of business.

Lifetree along with a consortium of partners including Sun Microsystems, Wipro Infotech and Hughes Software Systems will jointly implement a turnkey solution for DST. The turnkey contract has an approximate value of over $5 million over a five-year period.

Lifetree’s proprietary Billing Platform @Billity 3.0 will replace DST’s multiple billing, Operations Support System (OSS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications with a single unified platform that will deliver all the benefits of a convergent system to DST’s 165,000 subscribers.

By implementing Lifetree’s solution, DST will be able to manage customer care and billing activities for all its services including GSM Mobile, Satellite Television, Broadband, Trunk and Payphone services and any future transition to 2.5G and 3G for its Mobile services, through a single platform. Lifetree’s integrated billing suite will enable DST to significantly improve operational efficiencies and lower costs, while reducing time-to-market for introduction of new, innovative services.
