Major new customer win with Tier-1 Telco

Cerillion, the billing, charging and customer relationship management software solutions provider, is pleased to announce it has signed a major new contract, worth an initial €12.4 million, with a Tier-1 telecommunications provider, based in Europe.

The new customer contract was secured after a rigorous selection process, and work has commenced to replace the existing, separate legacy platforms with Cerillion's single, integrated solution. Cerillion will be supplying and implementing the core elements of its flagship solution, including billing, charging, fulfilment and product catalogue, on a SaaS basis, for an initial 5-year term. Over time, Cerillion believes that this new relationship has the potential to develop further.

Key criteria in the selection process were the commercial, operational and financial advantages of Cerillion's 'out-of-the-box' product model. Cerillion's single product approach confers all the major benefits of a customised solution without the significant cost and integration risks associated with a bespoke approach. The ease with which Cerillion's software enables new products and packages to be brought to market was also a significant factor in the decision-making process for this new customer.

Louis Hall, CEO of Cerillion plc, said:

"We are delighted with this new customer win, which is with a Tier-1 European telecommunications provider. It is another indication that our model of providing a single, out-of-the box solution suite with powerful capabilities that are constantly updated - rather than customised bespoke solutions - is gaining increasing market awareness and appeal. We look forward to a productive and deepening relationship with our new client."
