Australian telco billing system market heats up

22.02.2007
New billing systems entrant, Utilibill, which was launched in Australia this month, is already billing 75 service providers.

Programmers, developers and researchers spent two years developing the platform, which is an all-in-one Web-based billing and customer care back end system for retail resellers and wholesalers in the telecommunications market.

Utilibill managing director, Igor Green, said the overwhelming interest in the product is because most billing platforms in the past simply counted records and generated bills.

"This next generation technology not only replaces the entire back end function with a one step automated billing process it is also fully integrated with Telstra's LOLIG, the back-end systems for provisioning and configuring fixed wire, GSM and CDMA mobile and data services," Green said.

"This feature removes double entry of information, reduces billing errors and pools all customer information in a central location.

"All resellers need to do is customize the look of their invoices and customers can immediately view and pay their bill online."
