Oracle to Deliver Scalable Carrier-Grade Pre-paid Solution Based on Open, Flexible IT-based Platform

Redwood Shores, Calif. – May 26, 2010
News Facts

Oracle has agreed to acquire certain pre-paid assets of eServGlobal, a provider of advanced IT-based, pre-paid charging solutions for the communications industry.
eServGlobal’s Universal Service Platform (USP), includes a pre-paid charging application, a network-services platform and a messaging gateway. The ChargingMax, NumberMax, uVOMS, MessageMax, PromoMax Express and Social Relationship Management software currently supports more than 25 tier-one customers including the world’s largest IT-based installation of pre-paid services.
The combination of Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management and the USP applications is expected to accelerate the shift from network- to IT-based pre-paid systems by providing the first convergent, open IT-based platform from a leading business software and hardware systems company.
Customers are expected to benefit from traditional carrier-grade, pre-paid service authorization with IT-grade flexibility that supports any service or network, is easier to deploy and maintain and delivers an overall lower total cost of ownership.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of this year.
