New entrant in Albania, PLUS selected Comverse’s VAS delivery platform which enables services such as text messaging and other services.

"Comverse ONE was chosen due to Comverse’s complete and fully-integrated solution that would allow us to get to market quickly and fulfilling our commercial goals," said Moni Buchnik, CEO at PLUS. 

Comverse will make use of its Comverse ONE solution offering PLUS a converged BSS ecosystem capable of handling prepaid as well postpaid subscribers for fixedline as well as mobile subscribers.

Comverse will also offer CRM solutions such as sales force automation, campaign management and self service.

“Comverse's bundled approach, based on two interoperable platforms, meets a key requirement by minimizing integration points and customization efforts,” said Andrzej Czerczak, CTO at PLUS.

"As the newest mobile operator in the country, PLUS requires a BSS solution that unifies all customer information to enable immediate action on that information for faster customer acquisition, better retention and improved satisfaction," said Dror Bin, President of Global Sales at Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling value-added messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer management, and IP communications.

"At the same time, our bundled approach simplifies the deployment process, removing risk and allowing PLUS to focus on its business goals -- namely, creating and launching compelling services,” Bin said. “This is the long-term approach to success that today’s operator needs to capture and maintain market share."

Comverse Global Services will act as the systems integrator for end-to-end delivery.
