LONDON, April 5 -- PRNewswire/AsiaNet

Combined Knowledge and Technology of Leading Interconnect Billing Experts

Provides Operators With 'Next-Generation' Ready Solution

Azure Solutions (stand E4), the revenue assurance company, today announced

the launch of Azure Interconnect version 9.0 at Billing Systems 2005, taking

place at Olympia, London, UK 4th-7th April 2005.

Azure Interconnect version 9.0 is the latest version of the Azure's award-

winning interconnect system and bureau service, which allows operators to

analyse call data, bill more accurately and verify interconnect traffic between

themselves and other network partners. This latest iteration merges Azure's

existing interconnect technology with the Calculus Interconnect settlements

system which was obtained, along with its experienced engineering team, as part

of Azure's acquisition of Anite Calculus in November 2004.

Azure Interconnect version 9.0 combines the proven high-volume carrier-

grade functionality of version 8.0 with the rich features and next-generation

settlement functions of Calculus Interconnect, providing operators with a

flexible and effective platform to manage complex interconnect agreements.

Azure Interconnect version 9.0 will now enable operators to rate and bill for

IP/VoIP services in addition to traditional voice services.

Azure Interconnect version 9.0 new functions include:

* next-generation support for IP revenue sharing agreements

* a full suite of invoicing functions including multi-lingual and

multi-currency bill creation, payments tracking and test billing

* support for recurring and one-off service charges: billing other

operators for unbundled network charges, rentals and maintenance fees

* automatic reconciliation support: loading of external invoices,

reconciliation and authorisation of outgoing payments

* ITU settlement functionality: support for reconciliation and

declaration, ITU accounting routes and volume agreements.

Saul Nurtman, Azure's senior vice president of products, said:

"Interconnect is continuing to be a major area of revenue loss for many telecom

operators, and operators need to start equipping themselves for the

next-generation IP sharing products that are fast becoming commonplace. The

combined technology and expertise that has gone into developing Azure

Interconnect version 9.0 product, means that operators can now have an

effective tool to manage their interconnect agreements, improve reconciliation

with partners and start to become next-generation ready."
