AsiaInfo Holdings, a provider of telecom softwares and IT security products and services in China, has won a tender to develop new business support systems for China Telecom in Jilin province.
According to AsiaInfo, the system will integrate Jilin province (Jinlin Telecom) existing fixed-line business support systems (BSS) with its recently acquired CDMA business.
As part of China’s telecommunications industry restructuring, China Telecom acquired China Unicom’s CDMA wireless business in 2008. AsiaInfo will build out a BSS system that is able to integrate the acquired wireless billing system with Jilin Telecom’s existing fixed-line system. AsiaInfo will also provide migration services to move user data over to the new system.
Steve Zhang, president and CEO of AsiaInfo, said: From a policy perspective, China’s telecom restructuring is now basically complete, but we expect to continue benefiting from processes like building out integrated solutions and migrating user data to new systems for some time. This new BSS solution will integrate Jilin Telecom’s fixed-line and mobile services, increasing efficiency and flexibility for the company and providing users with a unified customer experience.
