TORONTO,
Feb. 24, 2022 /CNW/ -
Integrated Telecom Company Ltd ("Salam"), formerly (ITC), a leading
Saudi-based telecom provider offering next-generation information
and communications technology (ICT) solutions, has selected Optiva
BSS Platform to enable its new MVNO Integrated Telecom Mobile
Company Ltd ("Salam Mobile") to rapidly bring to market innovative
digital services to the fast-growing consumer market segment.
Through this partnership, Salam Mobile will deploy Optiva
cloud-native BSS technology on its state-of-the-art, private cloud
infrastructure. Optiva BSS Platform, a best-of-suite, end-to-end,
pre-integrated customer and revenue management solution, allows
Salam to quickly and cost-effectively conceptualize and introduce
new digital service offerings to customers. The platform provides
real-time billing, charging and fulfillment that will differentiate
Salam Mobile offerings. The solution will accelerate the velocity
of the new product introduction cycle and more quickly deliver
profitable growth.
"Salam Mobile's line of business will be built upon our strong
enterprise customer base. By collaborating with Optiva, we will
accelerate our journey into the consumer segment and continue our
expansion into realizing the exciting possibilities of the digital
services future," said Abdulmohsin Al-Joyan, Salam Mobile CEO.
"This will enable us to support our consumers and community and
address new digital business opportunities."
Optiva BSS Platform equips Salam Mobile with rapid launch
capabilities and provides total cost of ownership (TCO) savings by
addressing all of its end-to-end MVNO business monetization
requirements. The turnkey BSS suite, architected as a cloud-native
and designed for private and public cloud deployment, goes beyond
traditional billing, allowing for real-time storefront
provisioning, monetization and cross-service promotion delivery.
These capabilities support Salam in creating a unique offering to
grow its customer base with an enhanced, personalized digital
experience.
"The MVNO segment continues to proliferate worldwide and offers
operators the opportunity to create — in a matter of minutes what
used to take days — service packages that deliver unique customer
experiences. We are privileged to partner with Salam and

agility that is laser focused on helping our customers expand their
