Cerillion said that it has won a major deal with Ignition Group, one of Africa's largest providers of technology, media, telecommunication and financial services, to provide a new online charging system (OCS) and product catalogue solution for the company’s MVNE business unit, MVN-X.
Cerillion is implementing the Convergent Charging System and Enterprise Product Catalogue modules from its Enterprise BSS/OSS suite to support MVN-X’s operations.
MVN-X provides a turnkey service to MVNOs and currently enables ten South African brands with over 400,000 subscribers between them. With ambitious growth plans to double the number of subscribers this year and to expand into Africa, MVN-X identified the need to upgrade its OCS to support the latest generation of charging options including balance sharing and balance transfers, as well as enabling the MVNOs to become fully self-sufficient and improve time to market.
Cerillion said its Convergent Charging System (CCS) is a 5G-ready native diameter OCS enabling rapid integration to the host network, reducing complexity and streamlining operations. Enterprise Product Catalogue provides a platform within which MVNOs can now design and build their own offers, whilst staying within the constraints set by MVN-X.
Valde Ferradaz, CEO of MVN-X
The market is in a growth state and, with our new system in place, we are expecting further growth to circa 800,000 subscribers in 2020 and anticipate reaching more than 1 million active subscribers by end 2021.
Louis Hall, CEO, Cerillion
MVN-X is an established and successful MVNE and we are excited to be working with them to deploy our Convergent Charging System to help further drive their growth.
