Here at Openet we realise that customer demand and the drive for new revenue growth is changing the market. Customers want an increasingly diverse menu of services, delivered at a time and place convenient to them, paid for in a variety of ways: sometimes in advance, sometimes now, sometimes later; the choice they would expect when shopping for other products and services today.

This presents new challenges to network operators and requires change, often even additions to existing operational and business support systems. The old applications map is changing radically and a fresh approach is needed.

We hear operators asking a new set of questions:

• Can all my customers access this service? Pre- and post-paid?
• Does the price match the value my customers place on it?
• How much of this service should I be supplying? Can subscribers pay for it?
• How much margin do I make on this service?
• What partners do I need to settle with and pay?

At Openet we have built a company to serve this changing world. Our core values and strengths are clear and we nurture them continuously:

• Agility in all that we do
• Research to help us anticipate customer business needs
• Domain expertise underpinning technical prowess
• Practical innovation that works in the field
• Global Tier 1 experience

We have brought our strengths to bear on these new challenges and have built a suite of capabilities based on a platform that can meet tomorrow's requirements as well as today's without further upheaval and investment.

At Openet, we believe that the new telecoms world requires intelligence and decision making to be brought close to the network, rather than dispersed through layers of interfaced applications. We believe that speed of response is of the essence and that a real-time approach is needed for tasks that were previously carried out after the event. This is engineered into everything we do.

Openet enables rapid service creation and launch, letting you decide whether and how much to supply, allowing variable charging structures and payment methods to suit the service and your customers, whether a business, family unit or individual. We'll keep your partners happy too and ensure you emerge with your expected revenues and margins intact.

Welcome to our world.
